This is an exercise that will really help with:
โญ๏ธ Growing and strengthening the glutes ๐
โญ๏ธ Increasing squat & deadlift ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ๐๏ธ
โญ๏ธ Jumping higher ๐ฐ
โญ๏ธ Increasing sprinting speed ๐โโ๏ธ๐
โญ๏ธ Getting more flexible in the hips ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ง
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:
๐Set up an elevated surface of about 4-8 inches. I typically use a couple weight plates to start off.
๐I 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 ๐ .
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). ๐๏ธ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ
