In training movements, the weighted lunge is a very beneficial movement. Of course, the weighted lunge is also very effective, but there are many things to pay attention to in the weighted lunge, such as the essentials of the action, and what to do with the weighted lunge? I believe someone still knows. So, what parts should be trained in weighted lunges? The quadriceps is one. Let’s take a look below!
1. Quadriceps femoris
The quadriceps femoris is located on the front of the thigh and consists of four heads, namely the rectus femoris, vastus medius, vastus lateralis and vastus medialis. It is the largest and most powerful muscle in the human body. one. When practicing lunges and squatting movements, the quadriceps muscles can be well stimulated, and regular practice can give them a good workout.
2. Biceps femoris
The biceps femoris is a group of tendons located on the back of the thigh that crosses near the knee joint. It is mainly responsible for controlling knee bending and thigh extension. During the lunge exercise, there is a knee bending action, and squatting down will stimulate the biceps femoris, thus getting exercise.
3. Gluteus maximus
During the process of pressing the body down in a lunge, the gluteal muscles also need to be in a tight state to participate in the lunge movement. Especially the gluteus maximus muscles can be stimulated during the exercise and have a good exercise effect.
4. Waist and abdominal muscles
The waist and abdominal muscles also play a coordinating role in the lunge process, helping the human body maintain a stable state when squatting, so practicing lunges It can also exercise the muscles of the waist and abdomen.
