Essop Merrick explains the benefits of the lunge for runners and sprinters compared to squats and deadlifts.

The Lunge is like the nerdy friend compared to the squat and deadlift. But what does it have to offer? Is the Lunge a beta exercise that can be easily dismissed or do you just need to know more about it to appreciate how much it can be doing for you? I tell you why it is the most important exercise if you get from A to B by walking, jogging, running or sprinting and why a Lunge might even get you out of a sticky situation!

What commenters say. Recommended as a good resource for understanding the benefits of lunges and a lunge-oriented training perspective.
