Yo balconybro, on my 2nd superset I lunge. And with 12 reps each legs for 4 sets my legs are smashed. How the Fuck can I do 2 more leg supersets? I must just be incredibly weak or something. Same with triceps that day, I start with skullcrushers and with 4 sets of 12 of those even with the curved bar, my tri's are pretty

If you're just starting out you likely are weak in those muscles and you're probably also running into CNS fatigue as well. Your body simply isn't used to exerting that much energy for sustained amounts of time yet.
The only way around this is to force yourself to complete the next sets/movements no matter how low the weights are. If you're lunging with dumbells in each hand, you may have to drop all weight and do non-weighted lunges, the movement alone is still enough to engage the muscle.
Or in the case of skullcrushers, instead of using the curved bar do them one arm at a time with dumbells, going down to 5lb dumbells if you have to.
This program emphasizes volume (completing sufficient number of sets/reps). Adjust the weight however necessary to finish all 4 sets (or 3 sets if you're just starting out) in the 8-12 rep range for each of the chosen movements.

Yeah, it's Randy again btw. But yeah I was just doing bodyweight lunges and I'm just so weak I barely completed the 4 sets and that was only my second super set. So I have a lot of work to do

Good to know you're sticking with it Randy. Don't get discouraged, and don't stop when you're hella adore the next few days. The soreness stops being a problem after a few weeks and your endurance will grow every single workout. The first 6 months lifting are the best as practically every workout you'll notice being able to do more reps, sets, or weight than the previous time you hit that muscle ~4 days prior.
