Walking Barbell Lunges | How to Perform Walking Barbell Lunges | PWRBLD App

Here’s how to perform barbell walking lunges in 6 steps:

1. Set up the Barbell: Start by positioning the barbell on your upper back (trapezius muscles) or across your shoulders (deltoids). Ensure that the barbell is securely balanced and centered.
2. Stand Tall: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and engage your core for stability. Maintain an upright posture throughout the exercise.
3. Step Forward: Take a large step forward with your right leg, similar to a regular walking lunge. Keep your torso upright, and make sure your front foot is positioned far enough ahead to allow for a 90-degree knee bend when lowering into the lunge.
4. Descending Phase: Lower your body down by bending both knees simultaneously. As you descend, maintain proper form by keeping your torso upright and avoiding excessive forward lean. Aim to lower your back knee toward the ground while maintaining a strong and stable posture.
5. Ascending Phase: Push through your front heel to drive yourself back up to the starting position. Use the strength of your front leg to rise up, extending both knees until you are standing tall. As you reach the top position, maintain control and stability.
6. Repeat: After returning to the starting position, step forward with your left leg and repeat the descending and ascending phases. Continue alternating legs and walking forward with each lunge.

Ensure that you’re comfortable and have proper balance while performing barbell walking lunges. Start with lighter weights to get used to the movement, and gradually increase the load as you gain strength and confidence. Remember to maintain proper form throughout the exercise, focusing on stability, core engagement, and controlled movements.
