Barbell curtsy lunge

How to do this exercise

1. Step:1 Place the bar on your trapezius (like a regular squat) and come out of the rack by taking a step back.
2. Step:2 Stand straight with your feet hip-width apart, looking straight ahead.
3. Step:3 Strongly engage your abdominals to stabilize the torso and support the load of the bar.
4. Step:4 Move your right leg behind your left leg in a pronounced crossover, while lowering your hips.
5. Step:5 Go down until your back knee touches the ground, keeping your torso as vertical as possible so as not to arch your back excessively.
6. Step:6 Powerfully push through the heel of the front leg to return to the starting position stably.
7. Step:7 Complete all your reps for one side before switching, or alternate if your balance allows.
