This is an exercise that will really help with:
⭐️ Growing and strengthening the glutes 🍑
⭐️ Increasing squat & deadlift 🏋️♂️🏋️
⭐️ Jumping higher 🐰
⭐️ Increasing sprinting speed 🏃♀️🏃
⭐️ Getting more flexible in the hips 🧘♂️🧘
Elevated lunges have recently became one of my favorite leg exercises for creating more strength, size and explosive power for my athletes.
Here are a couple details to pay attention to when doing this exercise:
👉Set up an elevated surface of about 4-8 inches. I typically use a couple weight plates to start off.
👉I would start without weight to really get the flexibility down and then you can start adding in weight to increase the intensity.
I like to program these after the main movement on lower body day. Depending on the client and goal, I will program 3-5 sets of 4-10 reps each leg.
For a better physique I would do 4-5 x 10 🍑 .
For strength and most athletic goals I would typically prescribe 3-4 x 5 each leg with heavier weights (only after you get used to the movement, because of the excessive stretch). 🏋️🏋️♂️
Tag your gym amigos and get to work 💪
