4 Dumbest Lunge Mistakes Sabotaging Your QUAD / LEG GROWTH! STOP DOING THESE!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

If you want thick and beefy quads, lunges are an amazing exercise to add to your leg day! But because you're taking an "actual step" forward with weight, the chances of stepping incorrectly and placing strain on your lower back and knees is very high. But once mastered, the dumbbell or barbell lunge will become one of your favorite leg day exercises! *Program Selector Tool!- Get The Right Program For You! - **muscularstrength.com/Program-Finder*

You got this keep it up!

[@teodorstefanov984]

I don't think that there is someone as good as Scott when it comes to fitness and tips and tricks, advice and other. So much respect for him!!! He is dropping some free knowledge!!!

[@Milyrah]

I've been subscribed to you since you were in your 20's. Love your videos.

[@birdman4birdlegs]

"Let me take it one step further" On any other video this wouldn't matter

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Haha, you caught that huh 😉

[@jacobmeyers3446]

How did I miss that? Ha

[@TedMusic]

Do you prefer incline db press or reverse bench press for max upper chest?

[@andrelamarque1009]

Sorry that I keep asking, but I keep switching up my routine to make it better. This is what I currently have, and I hope that the shrugs and lateral raises on my upper FSU’s don’t ruin the lower days. If this is a good program, I’ll run it as a novice for aesthetics. What do you think? Thanks Scott!! Lower 1: Squat 3x5 RDL 3x8 Quad curl 3x12 Calf press 3x8 Shrug 3x12 Upper 1: Bench 3x5 Barbell row 3x10 OHP 3x8 Face pull 3x12 Skull crusher 3x10 Lower 2: Deadlift 3x5 Lunge 3x8 Ham curl 3x12 Calf raise 3x12 Lateral raise 3x12 Upper 2: Pendlay row 3x5 Incline bench 3x10 Chin up 3x8 Chest fly 3x12 Barbell curl 3x10

[@bruce8536]

andre lamarque I wouldn’t put shrugs with lower. Also if you keep changing your program your muscles will never get used to the slow progressive overload your giving them and they won’t really grow. Stick with the same program until it stops working for you

[@nipund4675]

[@oliwerkulacic9323]

Fantastic video as always Scott!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks man!

[@JermaineGertse]

Your videos are very helpful

[@Raynbell]

Scott, I came across your latest video regarding chest flys on the cable machine. I've gotta tell you, I havent been able to do a chest fly without pain in over 3 years due to a shoulder injury, until I watched your video, I literally mean EVERYONE has lead me astray with this exercise saying to keep a 90 degree bend and push through the shoulders. Just had to come and thank you

[@wilsonlee63]

Scott your improved physique is a testament your programme works, has your leaning down took away any of your strength? I have slimmed down a few pound for the summer but my overall strength in general hasn't decreased much & in other areas even got stronger to my surprise....

[@essam.salama]

Appreciate your efforts throw the years . Stay humble and be yourself .

[@andrelamarque1009]

Reverse lunges are the way to go

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Love me some reverse lunges!!

[@andrelamarque1009]

Haha

[@SJRogers0786]

Walking lunges are great

[@UltraSrbina]

Much better variation for me.

[@sajjadhusain4146]

If and when I do lunges, it’s always the reverse lunge. It suits me infinitely better in every way than the forward lunge. But I still love doing squats and deadlifts with dumbbells much more than I do lunges.

[@connorjennings7069]

Great video Scott!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks Connor!

[@bLaZe0kid]

Getting the app, always loved you and your stuff.

[@haroldgarrett2932]

i was literally thinking of asking if you could d a video on lunges yesterday. ur a wizard

[@DanielGaeta13]

Thank you so much Scott for putting out a great leg video I have issues with my legs due to knee and Ankle problems so learning how to Lunge correctly is going to be very beneficial for me. Thank you so much again and hopefully you can do more leg exercises cuz I think almost every guy needs them more than upper body workouts LOL

[@gracies2492]

This series is one of my favorites!

[@martinsantos4322]

Wow this was actually helpfull..i akways thought we had to take long step in order for the lunge to work ..thxs easy & understandable 👌🏼👏

[@oddlyonlyjack9560]

Thanks Scott for another great video!

[@tpeezy3042]

Thank you for this video! This is very timely for me. I know my form has been gahbage and has probably been a big reason for my knee pain. I have had to slow it down, lighten the weight, and concentrate on the form as well as work on exercises to help fix the tendonitis that I feel. Thanks again!

[@HammerBlow500]

Reverse lunges in a power rack with a safety squat bar is the best imo. If you hold the rack with your hands, you can use more weight, but you will forfeit the stability gains.

[@racheldutton-leyda2284]

Thanks for the info!

[@declanwrightmusic]

Thank you so much Scott!

[@ajcarter2548]

[@rishav.maityy]

This is helpful... Because I train from home and I don't have a squat rack so I use lunges as a key movement...

[@moviedude22]

Scotty McFly, excellent content as always....Do you have any videos of any full body, circuit style routines ..so like, db squats, then db shoulder presses, maybe so lunges etc, etc? (3x)

[@litolito1893]

Thanks for the tips and advise 👍🏻 ....trust me, I needed this

[@ultimateuser01]

Great content please continue the dumbest mistakes series.. Lunges are targeting more quads than glutes and hams??

[@Lykava_jiena]

1) that small step lunge look frickin hilarious! 2) this video actually was awesome. I definitely need to work on my lunge form. This video definitely answered alot of questions.

[@johnhackler620]

Great video as always Scott. I did the 1st workout of your 2x per week chest workout yesterday for 1st time in 6 months. When I did this before I couldn't get thru all 45 reps of the pec blast finisher with 25lb dumbbells. Yesterday I got thru all 45 reps with 30lb dumbbells with a few reps left in me! Also I pyramided up to 80lb dumbbells for my last set of 6 reps of flat. The gains felt good. Btw my chest has never been as sore as it is today and I finally have a good mind muscle connection where the dumbbell pullovers lit up my upper chest. Thanks for the great content!

[@hathlete4ever916]

So far, mistake #3 was the one I was making. When you get a chance Scott, can you do a video on Bulgarian Split Squats?

[@JesusRamirez-kt5zq]

I stop doing lunges after getting hurt everytime I did them. No matter if I did “proper” form or small strides I would still get injured.. just wondering if there’s other reasons for me getting injured

[@murderousmayhem6362]

Watching this vid made me remember I haven't done overhead squats for a while. I've never saw overhead lunges before (The thing that made me think of overhead squats obv) but will try them out since my core needs more work too.

[@bjazz68]

Thank you.

[@chadpersaud507]

would front squats be better than lunges? I switched to front squats after doing regular squats cause my gym doesn't have space for me to lunge the barbell with a plate on haha

[@Niborino9409]

My knee does not point in the same direction as my feet. Makes me confused. My knee points forward but the foot points slightly to the right. So I am not sure which should be aimed forward. I am focusing on the knee forward but that means th foot can't be angled forward.

[@malachifurler5258]

You rock Scott. Thanks so much bro. :)

[@pathikchakraborty2192]

Reverse vs conventional lunges brother discuss it

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Could be my next VS video!

[@markcarter5568]

It has to do with what the front leg is doing. The weight is on the muscle the whole time during a reverse lunge and easier to control, less chance of bad form and using the back leg to do the work. I found doing front stepping lunges were working my back leg too much and struggled with balance more! This might be because of my own problems and may not be an issue for others though and definitely hate doing them! I know it's something I am stubborn at and need to do more. Thanks for doing this video Scott!

[@nygeek6471]

If you care about your knees, use reverse lunges. If you don’t, then forward or walking lunges.

[@shuban]

Love the NE in his voice

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Let's get staaaaahted!!

[@Ginaguggy]

I would love to use the app, but it doesn't work. It won't let me create an account, it keeps saying "All input fields are required!" Even though, I've entered all info in all fields.

[@Cedevakal]

Thank you so much I think that’s why I rotated forward my hip and it’s still a problem a year later even with physio. I wonder if I should see a chiropractor I usually don’t trust them

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Chiropractor's can be good, though if it's a hip issue, I would stick with a massage / physical therapist

[@Malitubee]

Thank you so much for this , I was making all 4 mistakes . Yikes

[@jdawg1835]

The reverse lunge is my go-to. The walking lunge is what I'll rotate in for variety. That OH DB lunge looks brutal; I'll try it, thanks.

[@nelsonortas818]

Before “we get Staaaarted.” Lol.. love the accent dude and your positive no BS attitude.

[@BossFinale]

Those are wrestling shoes, right? Thinking about using them on squats

[@layyah0905]

I was getting a bit of knee pain with stationery lunges and then switched up to Bulgarian split squats which have to be as least as good as any leg move out there. Knee pain gone and quads torched.

[@Eggzachry]

I enjoy how scott says Garbage

[@snooopybud4034]

Scott, you should make a video about “Top Fitness channels to watch”.

[@battlefox8460]

I'm glad you made this video cause im having trouble with just body weight on this exercise. So this really is helpful. Thanks Scott. Also any chance can you do a video on correct form and how to for the Arnold press. I wanted a good dumbbell workout for that and when i type Scott Herman Arnold Press nothing shows up. Would love to see a breakdown on this exercise too. Thanks Scott.

[@m.k.spaulding5117]

Holy crap. That long ling (the bad way) you did look like it hurt. I'm going to try stepping back next time I do these. I love lunges. Thank you, Scott!

I had to lay off lunges because I really hurt my knee doing them, Great advice Scott!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Make sure that, just like with squats, your knees are tracking out with lunges :-) Have you downloaded my app?! muscularstrength.com/phoneapp

[@Ymiraku]

I actually found staying vertical put more pressure on my knees where as maintaining a slight forward torso learn took some pressure off my knees and activated my glutes more.

[@noelroi9679]

Is the Bulgarian Split Squat also a lunge variation?

[@iwanttochange-g8h]

whats better lunge or bulgarian split squat?

[@dvd541]

I have a disease called osgood Schlatter, meaning I have shitty knees, I’m planning on replacing leg extensions with lunges hopefully it goes well

[@ChaitanyaShukla2503]

I have flat foot and while doing lunges for some reason the toes dont stay parallel to ground and tend to turn inwards.

[@brownie_x]

idk Scott, lunges seem to hurt my knees way more than squats do. I can squat for days but one or two lunges and I'm second guessing myself. edit: nvm I saw the full video, problem solved :D
