failing to do full reps on certain exercises (self.fitness)

Hello guys, so now I finally managed to get going and work out consistently (currently I've been doing it for 2 weeks) at home with a barbell currently I noticed that particularly when trying to do lunges I cannot complete the sets not even without the barbell.

Would it ok if I cannot complete the sets or would you suggest me to do something else in order to gain the strength to do them?

As well if you could share some YouTube that teaches how to have an integral work out only with a barbell would be great.

Thanks.

It's okay to leave them out of your program too. Squats and deadlifts already cover everything that lunges would. Focus on those movements for a while to strengthen your legs. Then when you're ready, you can either swap one of them out or just add lunges back in.
