I touch (lightly) to make sure I'm hitting both legs evenly, and to get full ROM. Sadly though the 10 meter mat (with 1 meter increments marked off, great for standardizing lunge step distance) wreaks havoc with the skin on my kneecaps, so I've switched to doing more standard lunges with a mat in front of me to save the skin on my knees.

No. I can lunge more when using straps, but I see it more as a full body exercise as opposed to just focusing on legs. Originally Posted by SFW

I only use DB's when doing the walking lunge.
Seems to force me to focus more on form and
a more intense burn in quads/glutes
than with the barbell.Drama is the result of an attempt
to find wholeness & success
in the midst of forces that have been
birthed in chaos and nurtured in confusion.

I use he smith machine. That way I can lean into the rack (almost like you whole body is at a slight angle into the rack) and put major focus on the glutes/ass. I also kick the unfocused leg as far back as possible (knee maybe 1"-2" off ground) for that stretch and again it helps to keep the focus where i want it. The only time the unfocused leg touches the ground is when I kick it back, on the way back to the starting position i do a "knee up", then repeat for my reps. Quads start to burn while doing it, but once you lock the bar in and step out you feel it all in the posterior chain. I love it! I don't do much weight at all either...
