185 x 18 x 2 sets

DB Alternating Lunges
30's x 10 + 8 each leg
25's x 10 + 8 each leg

This workout wasn't the best timing on my part. For the first time in a few weeks I made it to the gym on Monday and Wednesday. This just happened to correspond with moving into week 5 of my workout and repeating a lot of the same exercises, again in a high rep range.

Doing 18 rep sets of lunges is not my idea of fun, but doing 18 sets of squats followed by lunges is just cruel. :p

As you can see above, I was not able to complete the lunges without a small rest at 10 reps. I had the same problem during the rows. I have a really hard time picking the correct weight when doing really high reps.
Bench press was better and I was able to use the same weight I used for 15 reps the other day.

I didn't feel like waiting for the machine so I decided to skip the standing calf raises and do some ab work and cardio instead.
