Barbell walking lunge (olympic grip)

KEY COACHING POINTS:

  • Elbows high

  • Barbell should sit across the front of your shoulders

  • Don't grab the bar too tight as this will reduce flexability

  • Lunge forward whilst keeping your core braced and your torso upright

  • Your foot should land with enough distance forward to allow your opposing knee to go directly down (your knee, hip and shoulder should be in a straight vertical line) 

  • Your knees should not track inwards 

  • Just before your knee hits the floor, squeeze your glutes then press back up
