802 lunges. Are you fucking kidding me. Damn man. You mad!

 

i'm going to add weight next time.. 10 lb plate in my backpack @ 400 each leg..

How long do the lunges take? What is the primary purpose of them?

they make my legs feel bionic.. each lunge stretches out the glutes, hamstrings, quads, calfs/plantar-foot, hip flexors, etc.. so thats basically 800 stretches + strengthening.. i also go deep on each so im really focusing mostly on the glutes.. im trying to make my glutes RIDICULOUSLY strong, which i've come to realize these lunges are really doing that.. when i do lunges in such a high volume, the next few days i have so much glute/hamstring/quads tonus its amazing.. even if im sore my acceleration on sprints is crazy.. another thing they target, is conditioning/lactic acid tolerance.. heart rate is up pretty high during the session and there's alot of lactic acid going off and on throughout... my legs have also gotten bigger (glutes/quads/thigh) since doing this many lunges, i can literally feel my legs growing.. it's just a really intense stimulus, that many lunges in a very deep position.

since doing them my SLRVJ's (left and right leg) have also gotten so much stronger, without me even focusing on them..

i need to drop a vid soon of how i do them because i land pretty deep on the ball of my foot or midfoot, in a long lunge..

my legs feel much more powerful since ive been doing these long walking lunge sessions..

peace



edit: it takes about 3-4 minutes per 100 i'd guess (takes me a song length or a little more to get 100 usually), then 1 minute or so rest in between..

i first time i did like 100-200, i was sore for 7 days.. now i do 400 each leg and im only sore for about one day.. meaning my preparedness/work capacity is through the roof.. ithink the goal would be to have only one day soreness (doing 400 each leg) or so using 20-40 lb in my backpack/weighted vest.. that would be some beast strength/work capacity.

Ya that would be crazy to do 800 lunges with weight. 800 lunges bodyweight is damn impressive though, couldn't imagine doing that.

in one week, .5" gain on vmo/quad!! a little bit (.25") on thigh..

niceee

BW = 162
soreness = glutes/hams
aches/injuries = left heel a bit, knot in my right upper back

workout:
- 3-4 miles of interval sprints, 10-20 yarders.. felt real good on acceleration for most of them.. was toast at the end
- .73 mile jog home in 4:50, couldn't push myself, bitchmode, legs dead
- pushups on handles + rear delt/upper back work

stupid knot in my back bleh!

peace

ps: this will be an ongoing project, should be fun, just started it:

Also, about your exercise index, I think it would look better to have it in a list form with hidden links..

was going to sleep but forgot to log my workout
