Dynamic Lateral Lunge with Shoulder Series (Lateral Subsystem Progressions)

Dynamic Lateral Lunge with Shoulder Series is a great way for individuals seeking to progress their lateral subsystem and to increase overall body control. This exercise target multiple muscle groups at once and offers an excellent way to improve balance, strength, and flexibility. This exercise will also challenge stability and muscular strength around the legs, hips, and spine as you move through side-to-side and forward-backward movements. Additionally, this exercise uses shoulder series to promote upper body strength and increases shoulder

exercise. In this video we're doing our lateral lunge, or dynamic lateral lunge
00:00:0800:00:12
with shoulder series. This is a great progression from a video we did earlier
00:00:1200:00:19
called 'Lateral Subsystem Integration'. So, in that video, we did our side step to
00:00:1900:00:24
balance to shoulder series, and we did our step ups to balance to shoulder
00:00:2400:00:29
series. Now we're doing our lunges with shoulder series. I'm going to have my friend Vinnie
00:00:2900:00:38
come out and help me demonstrate this exercise. Now, Vinnie, what I want you
00:00:3800:00:41
to do, is I want you to go into a lateral lunge, make sure when you hit the bottom,
00:00:4100:00:46
that this leg is facing straight forward. So only take as wide of a step as
00:00:4600:00:53
you need to, to ensure that this leg looks just like a squat on the side. I'm going to
00:00:5300:00:59
have you stand up tall and stabilize, and curl. Good. That looked a little easy for
00:00:5900:01:03
Vinnie. So let's take this up a step. Our shoulder series progressions
00:01:0300:01:07
are going to be curl, scaption, and then curl to press. So let's go, lateral lunge
00:01:0700:01:10
with scaption.
00:01:1400:01:19
Nice. Vinnie keeps drawn-in, his glutes are tight, his posture looks good. Let's
00:01:1900:01:27
try curl to press. So, lateral lunge, up nice and tall, draw-in, glutes tight, curl,
00:01:2700:01:32
press. You can see here, Vinnie has just a little bit of restriction here on
00:01:3200:01:36
this side, so what I'm going to have Vinnie do, is I'm going to have him go ahead and
00:01:3600:01:41
stick with scaption. If we keep pressing to do a curl and press, over and over
00:01:4100:01:44
again, he is going to end up with dysfunction and possibly pain on this side,
00:01:4400:01:48
until we get a chance to correct whatever postural dysfunction he has
00:01:4800:01:53
here. So, Vinnie, it did look too easy in your lower body, but we're going to
00:01:5300:01:56
regress your upper body, so we're going to do scaption here, but I want you to
00:01:5600:02:01
do a lateral lunge to balance this time. So Vinnie's going to go into a nice
00:02:0100:02:08
lateral lunge, he's going to balance, glute tight, ab tight, you see we found
00:02:0800:02:11
a progression that challenges Vinnie a little bit. Let's try that one
00:02:1100:02:22
more time. Up tall, glutes tight, abs tight, and scaption. Good. And right back down
00:02:2200:02:27
push off this leg, get it nice and tall, draw-in, glute's tight and scaption.
00:02:2700:02:30
Now, if I wanted to progress him for strength, I would just increase the
00:02:3000:02:35
weight, if I wanted to progress him for stability from here I might add an
00:02:3500:02:41
Airex pad. Now as you can see here guys, the overhead press was a little too much
00:02:4100:02:46
for Vinnie's extensibility, specifically on his right side, so until I fix that
00:02:4600:02:51
I'm going to keep him with scaption, make sure he can do everything with optimal
00:02:5100:02:54
form, and I'm going to work with his lower body progression.
00:02:5400:02:58
How did that feel overall Vinnie? -Good. Alright, so this is our lateral
00:02:5800:03:02
lunge with shoulder series progression. You guys could add Airex pads, dyna-
00:03:0200:03:06
discs if you wanted to increase the stability, or we could increase weight if
00:03:0600:03:10
we wanted to increase strength, and all of this would make a great progression
00:03:1000:03:15
either to lateral subsystem integration, or as a great addition to his resistance
00:03:1500:03:21
training program and our whole body piece of our programming template. Hope you
