Lunges

jmknippel Posts: 170 Joined: 2006/02/21	2006/10/23, 08:27 PM Should I do lunges on hamstring day or Quad day? Which does it target more?
	2006/10/23, 08:29 PM Why not on leg day? Why separate? -------------- Life is a lesson. You will learn it when you are gone.

	2006/10/23, 09:58 PM Lunges are compound and they target quads. Check out this site for more info on the muscles that they work. http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Quadriceps/DBLunge.html -------------- Life is a lesson. You will learn it when you are gone.

They are more quad dominant. Load up the ez-curl bar with a good amount of weight and do walking lunges with it on your shoulders..grow, baby, grow! -------------- AIM HIGH TIME FLIES
