Surprisingly I was able to complete the first set within 15 minutes and transitioned into the second set after 1 minute resting time. I was able to keep up the pace up to halfway into my static lunges when I started to lose balance holding up the barbell. This was definitely a big improvement from my last attempt when I had to rest quite a few times even during the first set.

Being able to do that is definitely an achievement that I can mark down as progress regardless of how small it seems.
