Day 16: 3 December 2014 - Squat step 2/Leg Lifts step 1

Realizing I've been at this level for 3 weeks, I looked at the progression standard for these exercises to see whether I would be able to move on in a month. The progression standard for both knee tucks and bodyweight jackknife squats is 3x40, so I've got some distance to cover.

To start to close the distance, I've increased my reps for knee tucks to 20 per set, and increased my reps for squats to 30 per set. I'll try to bump it up by 1 rep per set each time until I've hit the progression standard for a week.

Really spent time focusing on squat form, and I think I was making two mistakes.

1. I was using a platform for my hands that was too high. The platform appears to need to be knee height. 
2. I was remaining bent forward far too late on the way up and down. If I make my back as upright as I can without falling over for as much of the exercise as possible, I seem to experience less knee strain and less "popping" on reps.

I'll focus on those aspects next time.

Much less shaking on the knee tucks this time as well. Still trying to find the best back angle and position. I noticed my inner thighs getting sore. Either that's normal, or I'm doing too much of the work with my legs and not enough with my abdomen.

Warm-up:
1x5 Bodyweight Jackknife squat
1x5 Knee Tuck

Main Exercise:
3x30 Bodyweight Jackknife Squats
3x20 Knee Tucks.

Day 15: 2 December 2014 - Push/Pull Step 2

Did the Horizontal pulls with the new TRX knockoff hanging from a door mounted pull-up bar. Not perfect, but one hell of a lot better than the table. Better for my hands as well, since I could use a normal grip on the handles instead of angling my fingers onto a flat surface.

Would like to start doing a set of the inclined push-ups with the straps, because those are tough, but I need to find a better place to hang the straps first.

Warm-up
1x50 Fingertip Wall Push-ups
1x5 Horizontal Pulls

Main Exercises
3x20 Incline Pushups
3x10 Horizontal pulls
