    Super informative and something I never knew. #Gamechange
    1 - Long Step Length for Glute Focus: To target glutes effectively during lunges, take longer steps while maintaining stability and force production. This allows for a greater stretch and workload on the glutes compared to shorter steps that primarily engage the quads.
    2 - Maintain Upright Posture: Keeping a rigid and upright posture during lunges, with slight forward lean from the hips if necessary, ensures the focus remains on the legs and glutes rather than shifting the load to the back, promoting better muscle engagement.
    3 - Front Leg Weight Bias: Most of the hypertrophic benefits for the glutes come from the stretched position of the front leg during lunges. It's recommended to bias more weight onto the front leg rather than distributing it evenly or placing too much on the back leg.
    4 - Equipment Choice for Stability and Experience: For beginners or those with balance issues, dumbbells are advised over barbells due to easier stabilization and safety. For more experienced individuals with strong lunges, a barbell can be more beneficial for targeting glutes without worrying about grip or balance issues.
    5 -Load and Repetition Adjustments for Optimal Glute Engagement: Experiment with different loads and rep ranges (15-25 recommended) during lunges to find the sweet spot where glute engagement is maximized. Heavier loads can sometimes shift focus to quads, so adjusting the weight can help refocus on glutes.

    1. Step Lenght
    - Long Step ; as long as your stable
    - Knees (around) over toes
    2. Posture
    Don't lift with back.
    - Proud Chest
    - You can lean forward a bit, but lean with your hips
    - No back rounding
    3. Weight Distribution
    - Stretch position > over contracted position
    - Most weight on the front leg
    - Either 50/50 weights or more on front leg
    (Front leg : the one stepping in front)
    4. Barbell or Dumbell
    - I. D. C for now (advanced)
    5. Light or Heavy
    - Light = better technique + Mind Muscle Connection
    - Hard : High SFR not great technique and activation
    - Moderate : Best of both worlds.
    15 to 25 : great connection and focus. Quads is a limiting factor above.

    @joetheagent Рік тому +10

    Dr. Mike, what are your thoughts on stepping forward vs. stepping backward for lunges? I have limited floor space so I try to do them "in place" as much as possible. Lunges wreck my glutes and groin muscles. I usually do them with 20lb dumb bells. 8-10 reps per leg, 2-3 sets, slow decent, close to but not actually touching knee, pause at the bottom for a second. If I do too many sets it can make it difficult to do them a second time per week... sore AF. This video is actually confirming what I have been doing with my length of step and upper body posture. Balance is usually good to go for me. Really enjoy these focus videos.

    I started doing isometric lunges due to not being able to feel my glutes, I knew that the problem was that I had poor range of motion plus I lacked stability at the bottom so I started doing isometric lunges holding the bottom position to gain ROM in the same way you can hold the bottom of the squat to gain ROM over time, this way my rom and stability at the bottom improved greatly in just one month, ideally the ROM should be like the one Knees Over Toes has.

    step length and torso angle don't have much to do if glutes or quads are involved.
    It's mosty about the angle of the force vector in relation to the shin. And it's even more a mind thing. Better feet and core strength/controll = more glutes.

    Make as many Targeting the Muscle as you can with the biomechanics. Dr Jordan Shallow does a good job but you need a Bachelors in Biomechanics to understand a little of it.

    By reps do you mean per leg or total? I usually take 20 steps so 10 reps per leg.

    This is exactly what i needed, been injured lower back have rediculopathy running down a leg. It makes it hard for me to feel the glute and piriformis muscles.
    P.s. i do them slow trying to feel the muscle and do to pain.

    Is there anything biomechanically risky about using a weight vest for lunges?

    Hip thrusts are such a high fatigue exercise for me that over loading and volume are difficult.
    Noting makes he cheeks more sore than good ol squats. But honestly, idgaf about glutes, my thighs make pants hard enough to shop for as it is. 34 is loose at the waist but I still need 36 for my legs to fit. Not unless I want JNCO bagginess

      Hip thrusts from a bench on a Smith machine eliminated the fatigue for me. Sussy exercise but I can launch 375 for 20 for a few sets

      @@muscularclassrepresentativ5663 my gym has a primo thrust machine, plate load. Adjustable foot base etc
      For reference, my last 1mr squat was 445.
      120lb girls can do more on that machine than I can 🤣

    Wouldn’t it hit the same muscle groups, but negate the stability issues by doing a reverse lunge?
