Can anyone suggest a weight for the front-rack lunges? I can figure out weights for the other movements pretty easily (and quickly) but I don’t have a good idea for those.

I would say roughly about 40-50% of your 1RM Front Squat. That’s what I used today and felt pretty solid.

1:10×115/20 kg KB/45 sec

10×135/20 kg KB/45 sec
10×155/20 kg KB/45 sec

could start heavier at the lunge

2:first 5 min 45# DB 3 rounds
second 5 min 45# DB 2+3 rounds

2 was heavy
