How to perform Lunge Sprint

  1. At a Smith machine intended for this use, position the bar across the back of your shoulders and take a secure grip.
  2. Unrack the bar and move into a split stance with one foot forward and the other behind you.
  3. Bend both knees to lower into a lunge while keeping control of the bar.
  4. Reverse the descent with an upward jump and exchange the positions of your legs in the air.
  5. Land with the opposite foot forward and both knees bending to absorb the landing.
  6. Continue only while you can maintain controlled landings, then return the bar to its supports.
