This video is so helpful! My back was killing me doing these and I knew I was lifting with my back instead of pulling up with my outer leg and glute. Thanks a ton!

we did this a lot in volleyball to strech out as a regression to a lateral dive or roll. works great because with bad forward form will never allow moving on into the deeper defensive movements.

Great video and explanation, thanks!

Great tip on hinging at the hips and sitting back into it! Instinctually, I would have been too forward with the knees.

These are great as a morning mobility exercises.

Thank you! I needed this one so bad! I knew I was doing something wrong, I got it now👍

Thanks guys! Covid I’ve been working out at home and been struggling with this move. Integrating the KB and bracing with the free hand has really improved my movement and what I’m getting out of this exercise. Well done and thanks! ps. Agree with the comment on the locker talk. Distracts from your great coaching.

Thank You!

wonderfully explained

Great comtent

Fitness meets Sports Center. I like the format.

Thank you for the detailed and progressive cues! Much appreciated! 👍🏼

Stop talking just show me how to do it!

Is this a good exercise to do before squats sometimes not so much as a workout but a warmup.

"Yes no machine" LMAO

Thanks guys ❤

What would be helpful for me is to know exactly what muscles it's intended to work/ target and what should i be feeling when preforming these correctly. I haven't found any videos say that specifically

I've never seen these done with heavy weights ..must be very challenging but beneficial.

How heavy is the kettlebells?

great showing of the hip hinge

What muscle does this target?

does this also work the adductors? (more than a forward lunge)

4:05 yeah well, who doesn't love a good one?

Did they mean "abductors" or "adductors"? I'd guess this movement targets the adductors (inner thigh muscles, closing the legs), rather than the abductors (separating the legs). It does require stepping to the side, abduction, but the resistance seems to come mostly on the way back in.

Good tips for à gurl never been at the gym like me😁🤗. Thanks guys

I notice that he doesn't seem to be going to parallel when Lunging. Maybe he is, but need to see it from the side?

1:10

If you don't have a kettlebell you can do it with a dumbbell...holding it up to your upper chest, below your chin.

I stopped doing side lunges. I’m going to add it back.

why is the guy on the left wearing a shirt that says big chicken?

I need to own that shirt that Adam has on👍🏼😄

I don't understand how these are so tough for people to do. Maybe it's just easier for those who were in the military or even martial arts.

Yes No Machine 😆

Excellent video guys. It’s great to see big, healthy, fit guys who actually care about form over the amount of weight. Quality over quantity! Love the kettlebell racking variation as well. Thanks!

Yes no machine haha

can you do the actual f..... exercise?

I thought your breakdown of the lunge was really great and helpful. Please consider that your references to "good girl bad girl" and "good rack" are alienating to a large portion of people who could benefit from your tips. Please consider leaving references like that out of your videos if you want to be more welcoming to women.

Dude just do the same exercise

Too many chefs

Too much talking

Good explanation, could do without the unprofessional locker room talk. It takes away from your message.

From looking at this video, I find the version of the side lunge exercise where you lift the kettle bell with your hand in a goblet form from the foot that made the lunge to be a very risky and dangerous exercise to do. You could easily get wrist injuries if you don't lift the kettle bell properly and gets away from your center of gravity. For the guy who said in this video who really cares about form, you are really wasting your time mingling with those two meatheads. You could easily lose your balance and your form in lifting the kettle bell from the floor as you come up from the lunge especially when using heavier kettle bells. There are other side lunge exercises with weights that are more safer and give better results than that version. The only benefit that I can find in doing this version of the side lunge exercise is if you want to show off to some bimbo-headed hot girls in the gym how much of a flashy and flamboyant exercise freak you are.

I get the feeling these guys dont like each other 🤣😂
