Good Behavior: W16 D1

Close Pushups
2x12
1x10

It'll certainly take some practice to find the optimal hand position for these.  Lots of pressure on the pinky side of the wrist, and a lot more pressure on the elbows than previous pushups.  Hands too close together and my chest hits my forearms before it can get to my hands, too far apart and my hands want to roll.

Flat Bent Knee Raises
1x30
2x20

Starting to pick up steam, or just a good day?  We'll see next week :)

Good Behavior: W15 D3

Sleep quality and quantity last night was shit.  Got probably 3 hours of light 'n lousy.  Here we go.

Angled Bridges
1x12
1x10
1x8

Lost some reps, but not sweating it.  These are really challenging, bad sleep or no.  Still dialing in the technique.

Half Pullups

Took a lot more rest between sets today

Stick with these at least another week, on principle.

Flat Bent Leg Raises

Discovered I may not have been doing a real pause at the top, and corrected that bullshit.  Jesus these burn.

Good Behavior: W14 D3

Angled Bridges

2x10

I've decided I hate these.  Of course that means that I must not rush them.  Perhaps by the end, I will love them.

Wall Handstands
1x1 min 25 sec
1x55 sec
1x53 sec

Really starting to make strides here.  2-3 more weeks and I'll have it in the bag.

Half Pullups
1x8
1x6
1x5

Also, 1x6.  Re-read some Convict Conditioning today; the part about pullups.  It says to use the grip that seems to "help you" the most.  So after my 3 working sets, I switched to an underhand grip and easily cranked out another 6.  Probably could have done 8.  No question that for me the underhand grip is easier (something I've known for years), but I prefer to work the overhand grip in my sets because it is extremely challenging.  Interesting note:  These half pullups are blasting my biceps (especially that 4th, underhand grip, set) like I don't remember pullups ever doing.

Half Squats
2x50  (Progression Standard!)

Woo!  Checked myself in the mirror; I think I might have been an inch or two shy of actual half squats last time.  Also focused on knee alignment today, making sure they didn't start tracking in.  My hip flexors and inner thighs feel punished!

Good Behavior: W14 D1

Full Pushups

2x20 (Progression Standard*)

1x8

*One or two reps on the second set had the tiniest wobble, and there were a few reps throughout both sets that probably could have been slower.  Gonna hit these again next week and make 'em perfect.

Flat Bent Leg Raises

1x35 - Didn't check book before working out today.  Book calls for sets of 30, not 35.

Half Squats

Hit the standard on the first try, but it wouldn't hurt to stay here another week.  Very burny.  We'll see :)

Supported Squats
3x30 (Progression Standard!)

Glad I moved up to this exercise, as it proved easy, just like the jackknife squats did.  Excited to progress to the first of the unassisted squat moves next week :)

Half Pullups
1x8
2x5

Two more reps than last week.  I like seeing progress every week, no matter how small.  Makes me feel like the goals are inevitably attainable.

Good Behavior: W12 D1

Half Pushups
2x25 (Progression Standard!)

Feels weird to only need to do 2 sets... like I'm slacking.  These are way harder than the last step though.  Next week I get to become a real boy and start doing full pushups :)

Flat Bent Leg Raises
1x20
2x15 (Intermediate Standard - 2x15)

I know I said I might not move up to this step this week.  I'm glad I did.  These are tough for me, but they feel awesome.  Finally, an ab exercise that feels like an ab exercise instead of just setting my hip flexors on fire.
