Barbell Walking Lunges

You don't have to have an upright torso for these despite what many personal trainers still say. Instead use a torso angle that best allows you to keep a neutral spine and engaged core while maximizing range of motion and avoiding knee discomfort. Too often staying upright can only be done at the expense of an aggressive lumbar arch.

Lunges can be done with a vertical shin for more glute emphasis or with a forward knee for more quad focus, though all forms of lunges hammer quads. Emphasize the quad dominant version by allowing your knee to travel as far past the toe as your ankle mobility will allow and your knee with tolerate (free of discomfort).

Maintain firm heel contact with the ground on each stride. Pissing off your knees will shut down your quad training, so use the form combining the best quad emphasis with knee happiness. Stop touching your back knee to the ground. The extra little range of motion isn't worth the impact on your kneecap.

Do 3-4 sets to failure at about 10-15 reps per leg. – Andrew Coates

How do you put the weight down afterwards? Back on the rack or drop it. Behind you
