I do normal lunge as part of my program. Is there any use to add reverse lunge?
I know lot of PTs get clients to do both. I see they target the same muscles and dont know if there is any value in adding reverse lunge.

I dont do them as my normal routine wears my legs down enough I couldnt possibly do anymore, I stick to a simple leg routine and rarely even do regular lunges. If I was going to add them in, they would take the place or reg lunges and I would alternate them between workouts. I really dont see the benefit of doing them reg and rev in the same workout. In fact, if you can do both in the same workout you probably arent hitting enough weight or volume on squats, ext's or curls/sl deads IMO.

the hell?
i was under the impression they work the posterier chain....
can anyone check up on this?
EDIT:
Ok so i checked and
longer strides backwards work the posterior chain
while shorter strides stress the quads.

"Keep torso upright during lunge; flexible hip flexors are important. Forward knee should point same direction as foot throughout lunge. A long lunge emphasizes Gluteus Maximus; short lunge emphasizes Quadriceps"Last edited by neXen; 10-26-2009 at 11:00 AM.
