Good Behavior: W14 D2

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!
