Step Up to Deficit Reverse Lunge

IntermediateBodyweight

This dumbbell combo stitches a step-up together with a reverse lunge taken from a raised platform, hammering the quads and glutes on one leg at a time. Lunging off a deficit lengthens the range of motion so the hamstrings and glutes work harder at the bottom. It also demands balance and control, making it a strong single-leg builder.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Hold a dumbbell in each hand and stand facing the platform.

  2. 2

    Plant one foot on the box and press through it to rise, driving the opposite knee up in front of you.

  3. 3

    Pause briefly with the trailing knee lifted, keeping your chest tall and eyes forward.

  4. 4

    Reach that same leg back past the edge of the platform and lower the knee toward the floor into a deep lunge.

  5. 5

    Push back up through the front foot to return to standing, then repeat before switching legs.
