Overhead Lunges
WHAT IT WORKS:
The overhead lunge is an advanced exercise that works the entire body and involves nearly every major muscle group. It develops strength in the legs and hips, while also improving core and shoulder stability. Holding the bar overhead and adding the instability and unilateral multi-joint movement of a lunge makes an already intense compound exercise even more challenging and effective.
To start: Clean and hold a weighted bar up overhead. Stand with your feet positioned shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent. Keep the weight directly overhead in line with your shoulder joints. Take a big step forward to drop into a deep lunge position.
