I did walking lunges for 1st time last night.

They felt so much better than standard alternating lunges, and less boring.
Have any of you guys tried both, and which do you prefer, if any?

I wanna try walking lunges. I am only able to do regular lunges because my gym is small and packed. I love lunges though.

I prefer walking, but all variations are great.

agreed,side lunges are great as well.

As far as lunges go, how do they compare in mass building ability compared to a squat? I ask this because in a month I'm not going to have access to my college gym due to Christmas break and I'll have to replace squats with lunges.

why not do both?

I have no power rack at home and there's no way I'd be able to do the squats at a heavy weight.

what's the proper form on lunges? anything we need to know?

[Tofer]

I think for one thing, your knee should come close to the ground but it shouldn't quite touch it. And make sure your legs aren't buckling off to the sides. It's a smooth controlled motion. If you take longer strides you'll tend to feel it more in your glutes, while narrower strides tend to be felt more in the quads. Great all-around exercise.

clean the weight up and do front squats :D, and walking lunges are my fav kind of lunges... then again, i don't do lunges too often cuz they're hard, and I'm lazy lol.
