Good Behavior: W14 D3

Angled Bridges
1x14
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

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

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!

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

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