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.

Angled Bridges

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.

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!
