Hey all :) I'm currently working on New Rules of Lifting but I've got a problem with lunges. I have a screw through my big toe (pretty lame, huh?!) So my toe doesn't bend...which can make lunges pretty damn uncomfortable! Anyone know of a substitute for them?

    Bulgarian lunges could be a substitute. Technically your back leg (the raised leg behind you) should be toe down and flexed, but you could balance on the top without much problem, that's more to control balance than for any correct weighting. your forward (weight bearing) foot should be all heel anyway, so there should be no need to flex the toe in that position.

    But Anvil is correct, any number of squat would also fulfill most of the same function as a lunge.
