Kendrick Lamar looks to be getting in shape ahead of his upcoming, "Grand National Tour," which he's co-headlining alongside SZA.

Kendrick Lamar was spotted doing a series of pull-ups while working out in California, this week. A video of him getting some reps in at an outdoor park surfaced on social media on Monday. In turn, fans have been having all sorts of reactions to the GNX rapper getting in shape.
