Single Arm DB Reverse Lunge to Press to 1-Legged RDL

The dumbbell reverse lunge targets the quadriceps and glutes. The adductors on the stationary leg also assist in the lunge. This exercise is a great way to introduce more variety into your workout routine. I wanted the athlete to use one DB to force stability on both sides of the lateral chain, as well as force balance and stability. The press was included to simulate a basketball specific movement, while ensuring he was maintaining strength in the specified upper body region. The 1 legged RDL was added to make balance and stability was a continuous factor as well as target the hamstrings through functional ranges of movements, gluteal activation throughout the movement (for all you glute enthusiasts), torso muscular stabilization training. This exercise also maintains joint stability and joint angles. Note: I wanted the athletes opposite hand free simulating a basketball movement, keeping the opposite hand free. *This exercise was done at a late night session*
