The barbell reverse lunge is a leg building exercise used to target the quads. It is a variation of the lunge movement pattern, which is a foundational movement to train.
Some lifters experience less knee pressure when performing the barbell reverse lunge than they do when performing the traditional barbell lunge. Utilizing a barbell also allows the lifter to use more weight during the lunge than they would if they were to perform the dumbbell or bodyweight variations.
