The Movement Plane of a Lunge with Forward Press on a Cable Machine

What is the performance of a lunge with forward press on a cable machine in terms of movement plane?

A lunge with forward press on a cable machine is performed in the sagittal plane.

Understanding the Sagittal Plane

The performance of a lunge with forward press on a cable machine occurs in the sagittal plane, as it involves extension and flexion, which are movements often associated with this plane.

The performance of a lunge with forward press on a cable machine typically falls within the sagittal plane. The sagittal plane separates the body into right and left halves and movements in this plane are of a back and forth nature. When speaking about exercise, movements such as lunges, where there is extension and flexion, are performed in the sagittal plane. For a lunge with a forward press, you are moving mainly front-to-back as you lunge forward and push the cable forward, a key characteristic of the sagittal plane.

It is important to understand the different movement planes in order to properly execute exercises and optimize the benefits of your workout routine.
