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.
1x17
1x16

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

Good Behavior: W12 D2

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.
