Lunge Athletes must master moving through a full range of motion on a single leg to cope with the intense and diverse deceleration demands of sport. Good strength and control on a single leg frees the upper body to perform complex and precise sports skills. We often see upper body postures fail under intense lower body impact loads which makes expert technique crumble under physical pressure. The Lunge Progression challenges athletes from every direction in a range of tasks prioritising upper body posture throughout.
What series of strength exercise would, if performed optimally, demonstrate the extremes of human movement and maximally test local and global stability strategies with high relevance to sports performance? The Mastery Theme houses these exercises across all 14 Exercise Categories. The most extreme demands of multiple Exercise Categories completely converge leaving absolutely nowhere for movement deficiencies to hide. These exercises demonstrate an exquisite balance of strength, flexibility and reactive stability and represent elite movement competency in a gym setting.
