    Squats >>>>>! Lunges.

    Why waste time on lunges, when you can do more squats? Get heavier weights and keep squatting.

    This thread is making me want to join the gym again just to bench and squat. LOL

    DO EET!

    Life sucks without squatting, benching, and deadlifting.

    I despise lunges. They always make my knees crabby.

    if you cant push, pull, squat, lunge, bend, twist, and gait properly, you're a dysfunctional human being.

    I am not a fan of lunges but I do reverse lunges because you don't have to go very deep and also Bulgarian Splits which I do really like. You can gradually add weights with either.

    I am learning squats from my physical therapist. They hurt still but are making my bad knee better. He is telling me I will be doing lunges too! I cannot imagine it yet! I am very fat and had knee surgery back in Sept for meneiscus but made my knee have arthritis in it. so, back with the PT. He is getting me so I can walk again and get in shape to work out with a trainer and get healthier and follow a very healthy strict diet ( not starving) So , squats it is! Take care and wish me luck that I can continue!!

    I used to hate them too. Ok I hated squats as well. Lunges made my knees hurt too. My GF got me doing them with just body weight and making sure I did them correctly. Now I have better stability and I use weights. I must have strengthened certain smaller muscles too because now my knees seem to track better and don't hurt. They seem to be good for strengthening the hip region.
