First, set the safety rails in the rack to about a foot or so off the ground. Set a barbell on the rails then load up a moderate weight. The first time you do it, start light to get the feel for the exercise.

Stand in front of the barbell, squat down and grab it with an overhand grip (I grab it about the same width as for bench press, using the smooth rings as a guide).

Once you've gripped the bar, stand up, bringing the weight up behind you so it's resting on the backs of your thighs.

Now step your right leg forward into a typical lunge position stance.

Go down into the lunge with the barbell resting on your right thigh (your back leg, basically).

Now the fun begins...instead of standing upright, keep your torso leaning forward. And as you stand up and straighten your front leg, straighten your back leg, PUSHING THE BARBELL UP AND BACK as you do so.

Basically, even though your left leg is forward, it's the RIGHT leg that actually is working directly against the resistance of the barbell. The harder you push to straighten your leg, the stronger the contraction you'll get in the quads.
