Curtsy Lunge (AKA Drop Lunge) Video Exercise Guide

The drop lunge is an activation drill that can be felt in the glutes, abductors, hips, and quads.

It is also commonly referred to as a curtsy lunge – some trying to build gluteal muscle even perform them weighted and overload them as an accessory exercise within their leg workouts.

However, most perform the exercise either at the beginning of their workouts to activate and connect with certain muscle groups, or toward the end of their workouts as an added non-loaded exercise to condition said muscle groups.
