The lunges are more for warming my legs up, which I've done over the last several times I've done heavy on front squats and it's worked perfectly, it challenges me enough that my legs and hips are loosened up, but not so much that it affects the weight I can handle on the front squats.  Today they went great, I had a PR in my head before I even started, 245 was damn heavy for me but I got all 3 reps without assitance (Eric was close by) and hit the proper depth each time, it felt great.  I worked out later in the day today, some people were surprised I actually workout I guess, well they know I do just not used to seeing my workout as I usually exercise in the morning or early afternoon.  The back squats was only going to be AMRAP 12 but I had the bar on my back when my supposed time was up, I couldn`t see so I decided to go on and make it 75 for time.  My back was sore going in, it held up fine but I certainly felt it working on those back squats.  Good feeling after this was over!
