Barbell for Lunges and Adductors

This is a variation of a lunge or of using the barbell for squats with legs in second position for the adductors. This is a very difficult exercise, used by some people competing. Grab a barbell with a weight that will challenge you but with which you can do at least five (if not up to ten) repetitions. Do a lunge. Then turn to the right with legs in second position (open legs with toes pointing diagonally out) and squat. Stand while bringing your right leg center, passing your left leg and then face the other direction, legs in second position, and do another squat for the adductors. Repeat this sequence at least five times. Rest 5 seconds. Repeat four more times (at least five sets.)
