With this lift, we are going to be chaining three different exercises into one. The Squat, the Hammer Curl, and the Palms In Overhead Press will all get connected into one repetition.
The Squat Curl Press is a great conditioning exercise.
Lunges are an efficient functional compound exercise. For this variation of the lunge, you are going to be stepping sideways instead of forwards or back.
Now stepping sideways is going to place significantly more work on your inner and outer thighs than the traditional lunge.
This version also requires you to have significantly more hip mobility. If you find you can not get your knee to a 90-degree angle, just go as far down as you comfortably can. With practice and time, your flexibility and mobility with the movement will continue to get better.
If you want to create a V-shaped back, the One Arm Lat Pulldown is going to be one of the tools you are going to need to use to get it.
This exercise targets your lats and is a great way for you to increase the width of your back. If you want to increase the thickness of your back, then check out our Bent Over Barbell Row article.

You are now in the starting position.
Step 3: Keep your legs extended and as straight as possible exhale and raise your feet until your legs form a 90-degree angle with the floor. When your legs reach 90 degrees, squeeze your core and hold this position for one to two seconds.

Step 1: Load a barbell into a squat station. Set the bar on a peg that is just below shoulder height. Load up the barbell with a suitable weight (use a weight that allows you to do the entire range of motion).
Step 2: Move in front of the barbell and grab it using an overhand grip (palms facing away from your body). Have your hands in a wide grip (wider than shoulder width apart). Bend your knees and dip under the barbell and place it slightly below your rear deltoids along your back. Squeeze your shoulder blades down and back towards each other. When you squeeze your shoulders also rotate your arms forwards, so your elbows are pointing down like you are trying to bend the bar across your shoulders.
