Lunge and Pullups on MetCon Monday

Sometimes simple isn't just simple, it might also be elegant. Two exercises alternating ("superset" fashion): one with high volume lunges with relatively low load, one moderate volume with bodyweight pullups, turn out to be a quick dose of intense functional movement. Blast the legs and butt and core using lunges with a bar, blast the upper body with pullups.

It is always odd to me that lunges finish with talk about how fatigued the quad muscles feel, but later the DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) is in the gluts. Really interesting in an exercise geeky sort of way.

Here's Kevin and Joe demonstrating a proper bar lunge, somewhere in the middle of knocking down 150 of 'em. That's 150 each leg, so technically, somewhere in the middle of 300 of 'em.
