I'm on FL2 and am wondering if anyone else has had trouble with their trailing thigh when doing the dynamic lunge exercise? Basically, I've tweaked my thigh twice now (thought it was better, but found out this morning I was wrong).
If this sounds like a technique problem, I'd love to hear about it. I've done lunges as a part of other workouts in the past and have never had this problem.
I'm not sure what you mean by "tweaked." Did you pull it?
If you do a lunge slowly, in front of a mirror, how do your knees track? Do either drift inward or outward?

I did pull it, sadly. I have not noticed how my knees track. As I mentioned, I've done lunges for a while. Perhaps it was the weight. I may have underestimated the pressure on the back leg (in addition to the stretch).
I had the same problem w/ my right quad when it was the trailing leg, but only during static lunges. I had to be really careful to warm up properly and perform them as technically sound and as slowly as possible.
I have some issues with any lunges, doing the static ones right now. My quads get very tight. I think my problem may be that I'm moving my lead leg too far in front.
Not to mention I'm not the most flexible person in the world.
I can do step-ups all day long, but i dread the lunges.

I stretch out after every work out and sometimes in the evening if I watch TV. Figure out a routine that works for you. I do quad and groin stretches, hamstrings, back and abs, then roll it up to some shoulder rolls. That eliminated some running pains I had at least.
