Axle Deadlift vs Crossover Reverse Lunge

Approach the bar so that it is centered over your feet. You feet should be about hip width apart. Bend at the hip to grip the bar at shoulder width, allowing your shoulder blades to protract. Typically, you would use an over/under grip.

With your feet and your grip set, take a big breath and then lower your hips and flex the knees until your shins contact the bar. Look forward with your head, keep your chest up and your back arched, and begin driving through the heels to move the weight upward.

After the bar passes the knees, aggressively pull the bar back, pulling your shoulder blades together as you drive your hips forward into the bar.

Lower the bar by bending at the hips and guiding it to the floor.

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. This will be your starting position.

Perform a rear lunge by stepping back with one foot and flexing the hips and front knee. As you do so, rotate your torso across the front leg.

After a brief pause, return to the starting position and repeat on the other side, continuing in an alternating fashion.
