How to do Front Rack Reverse Lunge
Front Rack Reverse Lunge
Start the exercise by loading the barbell with 140-200 lbs weight. Initiate the movement by stepping backward with one foot while the front foot is rooted to the floor. Descend into a lunge position by bending at your hips and knees. It can also be done using kettlebells or dumbbells and holding them with a neutral grip so that they are supported by your shoulders.
Tips
- While placing the bar in the front rack position, make sure to keep it on the meaty part of your shoulder to avoid hurting your collarbone.
- If you are having trouble in balancing the barbell on your shoulders, try holding the bar with a crossed-arm grip.
