I was just curious as to how many people do their lunges with DBs. I've been doing mine with a BB across my back but am thinking of switching to DBs.

How many people do lunges with DBs?
There's only one thing I hate more than working out: being skinny.

I prefer doing Lunges with dumbbells compared to a barbell.

I do 'em after my heavy-ass squat sets and they feel pretty good!
usually do 20-30 strides with them (10-15 reps/leg)

I do both. If I go heavy I do the barbell variation and if I go light with higher reps I go with dumbells. Try supersetting these with leg extensions!!!

it is for sure... up to u whether u want that or not thoOriginally Posted by mattman
thats not saying it doesnt work your quads.. but just my understanding is that any squat type movement that involves only one leg takes a lot of quad involvement out and shifts it to glutes, especially with the straight up posture that you do them with.. i know personally i tried them for the first time only about 6months ago with over a year experience doing squats, never had glute DOMS until i did a few sets of lunges

My glutes are too big for my legs already. Should I not even consider doing lunges then? Even if I don't, squats work my glutes already.
