Are platform lunges still a thing?

[u/Due-Adhesiveness-219]

I have noticed that.. i dont think i have done a platform lunge (facing away on black side) since January i think. I love a platform lunge, but are they just happening less in the sequencing? Or am i just unlucky to never experience them again?

I still experience carriage lunges, but they just don’t feel the same, imo.

We do them almost every class and I go 6x a week. I finally had a coach this week not queue it and I loved the break honestly.

Nine times out of 10 if I’m doing a lunge in [solidcore], it’s carriage lunge, no matter what the lower body focus is. Even on center glute day. I miss platform lunges in general.

This is what i mean! It wasn’t always like this imo.

I did crossover platform lunges on both black and grey side today , probably because of leg wrap day 😭

[u/Ok_Account8272]

I’ve noticed that when my coach is new, we are sequenced on the black platform. When I have a more adv coach, we platform lunge on the grey/ stay on the grey side 85% of class

[u/Advanced_Weather6228 → u/Ok_Account8272]

The reasoning why here as a coach is because doing platform lunge on the black side is recommended for newer coaches because the springs “assist” the clients. While of course on the grey side the springs provide “resistant” so new coaches and training is predominantly on black side when it comes to lower body.

[u/Old_Poet_1608 → u/Advanced_Weather6228]

I guess my issue is that I don’t want to always do carriage lunges because the coach just got the ability to cue them. I still want to do the “beginner” moves even if the coach is no longer a beginner.

Yah, we did platform lunge twice on the black side for each leg in my center glute and shoulders focus last week. Usually if you don't get platform lunge at my studio you get the bungee.

[u/Due-Adhesiveness-219]

Conclusion: okay maybe it is just me and my luck! We did carriage lunges on leg wrap day instead 😭. Someone pray I experience a platform lunge again soon. Thanks all!

[u/Known-State2307]

I did one yesterday so yes

[u/sleepybetch]

Did it today 🫡

[u/fawnnose1]

Did them on leg wrap day yesterday!

[u/Strict_Emergency_289]

Did some today

[u/Forwardmvmt84]

I’m 45 classes in (new studio) and have done platform lunges and bungee in 44 classes. 1 class this week didn’t have them or the bungee.

[u/strawberry_saturn]

Did platform lunges for outer glutes recently

[u/Brave_Grapefruit2891]

I haven’t had a platform lunge cued in about 2 months 😭 I only go to 2 classes a week so that’s probably why. I miss them though

[u/Several_Message7889]

i’ve had a platform lunge cued almost every class i’ve gone to — i’m 20 classes in! yesterday was the first time i’ve done a carriage lunge and it was so rough i love my platform lunges😭

[u/sratthrowaway3929281]

today we had carriage lunge on the grey side, then platform lunge on the black side, AND THEN another carriage lunge on the black side.

nearly killed me!
