The distance one can cover with an advance-lunge is a function of things such as length of leg. Unless you're talking about flying lunges or something, in which case it'd be muscular strength...
I detect the aroma of exaggeration. ( Or is it epeeists? )

Pick up your sabre, go and stand in front of a mirror, and see how much more intelligent, wise, beautiful, sexy and altogether impressive you look.
