BARBELL LUNGE AND PRESS

TIPS: To maintain balance, try to move your feet always in the same line without crossing them.

STARTING POSITION:

Select the appropriate plates to put on the barbell. Put the barbell on your trapezius and grab it firmly with your hands. Stand straight and spread your feet at shoulder width apart. Contract your pelvic floor and core while keeping your chest up.

MOVEMENT:

Step forward with your right leg making a 90º degree angle between your legs and bending your knees, slowly lower your body down until your left knee almost touches the floor while you inhale. Extend your arms to push the bar straight up until your elbows are extended but not locked. Make sure to keep your right shin perpendicular to the floor and avoid rising your front heel. Pushing mainly from the heel, return to the starting position and lower the weight until the bar touches your trapezius. Make sure you don't move your torso backwards while you perform the exercise. Repeat the movement for the specified amount of repetitions and then repeat with the other leg.
