Are you referring to the Warrior Lunge? The one where you hold your hands over your head and lunge forward? I'm not, but I do a walking lunge variation with my hands over my head, just not the static stretch. I don't have any difficulty with that but I also do the reverse variation where your back foot comes back at an angle (7 o'clock or 11 o'clock) behind the front foot. I think its called the Cross Overhead Reverse Lunge.
In that one I do have difficulty keeping my shin straight up and down when the left leg is forward. In fact, now that I think about it, it's the same motion/weakness that I've been describing on the step-ups.
