Ha alright. Dumbells are a lot more convenient with doing lunges because you hold them at the side and they counter weight, so it's straight down and up and not swaying with a barbell up high (see vid below). Maybe just go with 2x10kgs or 2x15kgs because trust me these cause pain.FFS i won't be doing 20kg dumbells

Ahhh too easy. I'll give them a go with 12's I think. My balance is s**t so the barbell might have to wait

I do these all the time. 15kg in each hand is enough for me, because I usually do them after sets of back and front squats.

I like them, one of the better leg movements I can do. I was up to 85kg at last work out... my butt hurts for days after!

where does it originate - the lead knee or torso do you think?
and where is the load placed during these exercises?

Torso - been noted when I asked to check form, a definate lean forward in the torso. PTs advised to keep torso as upright as possible.
Weight is held in each hand via dumbells

core weakness but it might be the placement of the load - try 1 db held in front or bb on shoulders (front or back)
or lighten the load
but could be weak something else (glutes) that shifts you forward and presents at the torso
can you get a video up?

Bit hard to get a video up, but I'll try the other techniques you've suggested.
I have actually lightened the load quite a bit to keep the torso upright, to the point where is just supplements other leg exercises

take a vid on your phone, upload to youtube and post on here - too easy
won't need to be the highest quality but good enough to see what's going on

Are walking lunges vastly superior to doing them on the spot? I do them on the spot just so I don't get in other people's way.

Walking ones help the balance and core abit more. But if you don't have the space, on the spots fine

they train different qualities
walking lunges you travle forward the whole time so there's a deceleration component to stop you from smashing your knee into the floor
dynamic lunges is a step up from walking lunges as they both have a deceleration component but you need to push back on these so it's adds in an acceleration component
either are fine but definitely space dependant

I used to use dumbbells for walking lunges as well, but was sick of making sure the wrist was perfectly straight whilst also keeping my balance. Am using 8/10 kg kettle weights - depends how much I need to walk the next day.
I'm find it easier to just focus on balance and core instead of worrying about my wrist moving around.

Bit off topic but looking to swim laps for something different, would bike short skins be appropriate attire?

you can also raise the toes on a mat or 2 and do the same thing
make sure your knee tracks in line with your big/2nd toe and that your arch doesn't collaspe as you move forward
do multiple times a day if you can

Compared to nudity, absolutely
You don't have budgie smugglers? UnAustralian...
Well that was the next option. Might go with the skins, think they should do the job.

Why not pick yourself up a pair of these speedos? Has the modesty you want and is also great quality. Mine have lasted 10+ years. I imagine skins would be uncomfortable when wet.

Cheers vonn. Undecided, the budgie smugglers may enhance my iliac furrow too, so undecided which way to go.

Well, if it helps, the ocean is ******* cold in winter.
