Half Pullups
1x12

One late night followed by short sleep will really fuck up a workout. Did some extra GtG sets because of frustration with this seemingly useless step in the progression.
Head Bridges
3x8
Since discovering I can grind up into a head bridge, I'm done with the halfies.

I looked over past Veterano weeks, and discovered that I've been doing uneven squats for months, with virtually no progress. The only reason for this is that I'm giving up early in sets, which I know I have been. I hate this step. I can't get to where I feel like the leg on the ball is assisting, and I'm baffled as to why this step was set before half one-leg squats. It is not fun. At all. However, since the only real reason for my lack of progress is my attitude, I don't have a legitimate reason to skip to the next step. I must grind harder.
NOTE: Since the program only calls for 2 working sets, I tried to sub some half pistols for set 3. Now I understand why uneven squats come first in the series.

1x15 - Full arm extension on this set resulting in need to keep knees at 90 degrees throughout.
1x12 - Hung high as long as I could, continued set at full extension hang.
I could do more if I had a higher bar so that I didn't have to hold myself in a top-of-pullup position to allow my legs to straighten.
Side note - enter some grip work!

Discovered in my quest for strictness that I've been rocking forward, particularly when working my right leg. Cutting that shit out makes these even harder, of course.

Tightened up the form: Head up, pace right, arms close to body, less rest when switching hands.

Pressed for time - cut back on the rest. Speaking of rest; I haven't had enough this week. Also, my impatience with this step has resulted in some pacing issues I'm working to correct.
