Similar Exercises

With the barbell racked at approximately armpit height, position your traps securely against it. Then press up and take a couple of steps back, positioning your feet roughly hip width apart.

Start by taking a large step backwards with one leg. Bend until your front leg makes a 90 degree angle and your back knee almost reaches the floor. Then drive through your front foot to extend the knee, returning to a standing position. Keep the majority of your weight focused on the front foot as you lower your hips down and bend your front leg. Your front foot should remain flat as you lunge but your back foot's heel will lift off the ground. Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions.

Avoid having your front knee cave inwards past your big toe.
