I think most people that can do 80lb dumbell lunges and not have their grip at least be an issue, usually have the overall body strength to do lunges with a heavier weight. Try doing 125lb lunges and see how your grip holds up. Also, lunges are not the same as farmers walks, the fact that you are eccentrically lowering your body, usually not very slowly, and rising again puts more stress on the forearm than if you are undulating slightly while walking…
