- AAdd a pause at the bottom of the full-depth lunge to build control there

- CWork in the range the client controls, then extend it gradually
- DReduce the reps per set while keeping the full lunge depth
Show answer and explanations
Answer
C
Because the client controls a shorter lunge well, training in that range and extending it gradually builds control before the hardest part of the range is loaded.
A
A pause lengthens time in the very position where control is lost.
B
A gaze cue may help posture, but it does not address control at the bottom of the range.
D
Fewer repetitions reduce volume but keep the full depth, which is the range the client cannot yet control.
C
Because the client controls a shorter lunge well, training in that range and extending it gradually builds control before the hardest part of the range is loaded.
