how come on one side when coming up from dynamic lunges or walking lunges I go off balance a little bit? a little bit happens on the other side too, but one side worse. My lunge is fine, but comming back up into standing position is where balance goes goofy.
one leg RDL same thing happens. One leg is fine, but the other leg..looks like the butt wants to go backwards towards my other butt (trying to explain the best I can whats going wrong). I should have a flat back in one leg RDL's facing the ceiling.
lunge form - position of core relative to feet

Happens to me sometimes. In my case, it's fatigue or I just straight up too quickly and off-balance myself. Usually I take this as a sign to not raise the weight until I get the balance.caangelxox wrote:how come on one side when coming up from dynamic lunges or walking lunges I go off balance a little bit? a little bit happens on the other side too, but one side worse.

oh okay I'm glad I am not the only one. its because I probably straight up too correctly and don't use the right weight shift from the back heel to get back up.pdellorto wrote:Happens to me sometimes.

yesterday I did lunges and I was able to balance better when focusing on getting up from my heel of the front leg and not the back leg and also not stepping out too far. My problem was taking too big of a step to begin with. I could take a smaller step and still feel it in the glutes, which is the main focus.

Well yea that's where momentum wants to take you. That's the direction I was prone to fall as well. Probably need to start off going slower than I was...
