I struggle with these due to the arthritis in my knees. Because of the weakness in the joint, I'm not sure I am doing them correctly. Can you describe the proper form for a lunge and possibly post links or pics if you have any handy?

I've been doing them with the front leg on the bench. Could that be too much strain?0

No... the opposite way. Front leg on the bench.0 -

Where did you get that exercise from? I've never heard of that.0 -
I've hurt my knees from lunges and squats some time ago. Turns out I was doing them wrong - your front knee(/s)are supposed to never go past your toes.0

Thought I'd seen it done that way. I'll make adjustments. This probably explains why it's so hard on my knees. I seem to get inflammation every time I try.
I'm thinking I probably confused it with a step exercise. Doing a Google search, I see people doing it with a step, but not a bench. The bench is probably too high for that exercise, eh? LOL!0 -

Yeah, I would try regular lunges and see if you're having the same pain.0
