Repeated lunges in squash: a guide for adult players
Reaching a deep front-corner nick, then having to lunge again two shots later. The useful decision is whether the next gym session should support repeated lunges, or protect the next match.
What this situation asks
Reaching a deep front-corner nick, then having to lunge again two shots later. That setting asks for repeat lunging and getting back, without promising to fix technique. This is a reading of the sport, not a sets-and-reps prescription.
The next-session trade-off
A reasonable option is to keep lower-body strength moderate when the week already contains a lot of corner lunges. The trade-off is clear: extra gym lunges can make the next T-recovery slower instead of cleaner.
