Post time to comments.
Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout combines a heavy lunge variation along with a high volume of strict pull-ups. You'll complete a set of strict pull-ups, then perform 10 lunges. Repeat this pattern until you complete 50 reps. Do not do another set of lunges after completing the final pull-up. A blistering pace is not the goal for today. The lunge weight should force you to rest before picking up the bar, and the pull-up volume should force you to rest to complete the reps. The lunges start from the floor. Plan to do at least 10 unbroken reps for the first two sets. If you move quickly, increase the weight. The pull-up volume is challenging, so plan to start with a variation that allows for at least 7 reps to start. Reduce the pull-up volume or cap your effort at 8 attempts. Do not perform more than 7 lunge sets today.

Wanted to use a weight I could complete the 10 reps with each time with no breaks, so that's why I went with 135 lbs. The grip was the limiting factor on the pull-ups or else I wonder if I could have completed in four sets.
Did front rack lunges at 155-170-185 lbs but the latter loads could only go four reps before putting the barbell down. Would have been a brutal 10 reps RXd! Hat's off to you beasts tackling this at that load today!
Very well done, James!
That’s a smashing workout, regardless. Agree…185# lunges are ridiculous.
Nice!
Fast!

21+11+9+9(I was hanging there for a while trying to get that last rep, toeing at the floor)
Had to hold the bar on my shoulders with arms crossed, joints aren't taking front rack willingly. Probably should have cleaned up the form on that last set and taken another round of lunges but my legs are still recovering.
💪🏽. Strong pull-up sets, too.
Great at Rx!
Excellent!

5 rounds of:

- 10 front racked walking lunges @ 135lbs
- 15-20 minutes total / all reps unbroken
- Lunges were what really challenged me!
- Good burner/pump session
Nice work! Surely, the station can afford a pull up bar!

2x50lb KBs in front rack for lunges
Meant to do intermediate but forgot to look at the clock when I hit rep 30, so I kept going and finished 50 at 15:00.
Elbows and wrists were not up for heavy BB in a front rack today and the knees weren't up for weighted walking lunges heavier than what I did. So, figured I'd go somewhere there were KBs/DBs of a bit higher weight than what I have, a higher bar for the pull-ups and a level surface with no asphalt to smack my knees on.
Good call on no asphalt to the knees & great work overall!
Nice work keeping on going. I use knee pads with asphalt, don’t blame you for moving to smoother terrain.

Didn't move very fast...and since PU bar is a part of my rack, had to unload and unrack, then rack and load the bar each round.
Tried lunges, but my knees gave that the thumbs down
Nice work, Rixpress! Gotta listen to the knees!
Still seems fast to me! Nice work.
