[@Drakcirlm]

I've been doing reverse lunges for 6 months now, but I feel pain in my back leg's quad muscle everytime. What can I do to solve this?

[@DrCarlBaird]

Sounds like you may have tightness in the psoas and quad. I would try foam rolling and stretching this muscles. This exercise can help: th-cam.com/video/mvN6DSmNOm0/w-d-xo.html

[@codifa5847]

while doing a reverse lunge, do we really have to touch our back knee to the ground??

[@DrCarlBaird]

You don’t ‘have’ to, especially if it’s painful. But you get more out of it by going through full range of motion.

[@codifa5847]

@@DrCarlBaird yeah but it wont be hazardous if i go full range even if its painful right??

[@lusteraliaszero]

@@codifa5847 bit late, but it probably wouldn't be, however you should be slow on the eccentric, not slamming your knee into the ground. honestly, your knee should never bear the full weight, it's better to "pause" at the bottom, just a light touch. that said, people sit on their knees for hours for certain jobs, while that isn't great for them, touching your knee to the ground for a few seconds over an exercise you do 1-3 times a week probably won't harm you too badly

[@codifa5847]

@@lusteraliaszero comment section is open for everyone so it's okay to be late. Okay so just as you said to pause mid exercise and gently touch my knee. In other case, what if I didn't touch knee at all?? Would I be in safe side??

[@lusteraliaszero]

@@codifa5847 you only really need to touch the knee because you want to be as "deep" as possible to get the most growth and the widest range of strength and stability in your muscles. so if you don't touch with your knee and you move like 95% of the range of motion, then you still get at least 95% of the benefit of the exercise. it's a little harder to stop right before as well, that isn't a bad thing at all so long as you can do it.

[@spiderz81]

Quick question, I keep hearing people say not to have your knee go past your toe when doing a reverse and foward lunge? I'm curious about this because even if your knee does go past your toe I feel like your pretty much getting the full motion/burn...
I've been making sure my knee doesn't extend past my toe on the way down just for GP but does it really matter? Is this an injury causing thing?

[@DrCarlBaird]

It’s not as big a deal as it’s made out to be. However, if you are dealing with knee pain you need to be more careful.
