Suspender Rear Lunge
Description
The suspender rear lunge uses suspension straps as a balance aid during reverse lunges. The straps share some bodyweight and allow you to drop deeper into each lunge than you could free-standing. The pattern builds quad and glute strength with extended range of motion.
