bodybuilding exercise: lunges, a great whole leg workout
Lunges are a great whole leg workout that you can do at home with simple, inexpensive equipment. This video clip shows proper form of this exercise. If you have a history of knee problems you should not attempt this unless under the direct supervision of your physical therapist.
As with any dumbbell exercise, form is key if you want to maximize your muscle building efforts and minimize the chance of injury.
Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn’t have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

Its a bit tough to exercise quads in a home gym, lunges is the only thing I do. A squat rack is not a possibility for many of us who have home gyms.

since u havent …
since u havent heard back from this guy for a while, ill help u out. quick motion workouts is good for things like plyometrics, but for weights, u want to make u you control the weight, not the weight controlling you. You can go at a steady rhythem down, and u can explode when going up with the weight, or flexion. For size, go heavier and less reps. For def’n, go lighter + more reps.

I am 32. In my younger years, I often jerked the weights and did not work out in a slow controlled movement like you mentioned (2-3 secs up/down).
Now I have been for a while and notice a difference in how I feel through the process and see the results. I damaged my shoulder playing baseball many years ago and really appreciate the exercises you have posted. How do
you feel about squats as compared to lugnes? What other leg exercises do you do?

scoob u are a beast …
scoob u are a beast with the workouts, but I’ve heard that quick motion muscle movements(or somthing sounding like that) have the best potential for size and strength growth. Is this bullshit? Should I go fast or slow? O and when doing arm curls with dumb bells should I twist the dumb bells? Do you know what I mean? I heard that was better but I dont know. Get back to me!

I enjoy doing it and I learn so much from videotaping myself also. I was astounded to see that I was actually going to deep into the lunge here and putting the knee at risk. Kind of embarrasing to be preaching good form and then find out that I was myself was blowin’ it!
