Leg Workouts For Strength - Speed Lunge (VIDEO #2)

In Leg Workouts For Strength (VIDEO #2) we"ll show you a great combination to include in your training routine.

EXERCISE: Eccentric Lunge + Speed Lunge
SETS: 3 REPS: Count 10, Reps 6-8, Repeat *2

This is one of the best leg workouts for strength and speed endurance because of the total number of reps required with this exercise structure. 1 set requires you to complete 40 seconds of eccentric (negative) work (20 Seconds each leg) and 24-32 total speed lunge reps. Now repeat that for 3 sets - yeah, it"s difficult!

This exercise will help you improve your quickness for basketball, football, soccer, lacrosse, etc. If you need to improve your first step, explode off the line and make ankle-breaking cuts, then this is a great exercise to include in your training program.

The eccentric or negative aspect of the lunge, is so effective because as your muscle fight again the pull of gravity, micro-trauma to the muscle causes growth hormone to release - you know, the stuff you need to get stronger. An additional benefit of eccentric or negative exercises is that muscles are roughly 40% stronger during the lower phase of a lifting movement i.e. eccentric that the concentric (muscle shortening) or upward movement of the exercise. As discussed in Leg Workouts For Strength (VIDEO #1,) Speed Lunges will train your muscles to turn on quickly and violently. This combination will improve your quickness, speed and speed endurance immediately.
