Sunday I was lame and didn't workout. Today I went to the midday WOD, which was

Front Squats 2-2-2-1-1-1 (105-115-125-135-145[f]-135)

Really tried to focus on form and keeping an upright back. I then skipped the metcon because I felt a little woozy after not having eaten breakfast in preparation for the WOD. D'oh. I went home, ate, studied for a few hours, and then started my upper body strength template odyssey. Don't have appropriate sized dumbbells at the house, so I did day 2 of Brian's recommended rotation, which was

3 rounds

5 ring pushups w/ 1 sec pause at top
3 10-sec flexed arm hangs
5 HSPU negatives

Maybe it's because I haven't done anything pullup-related since Sectionals, but the flexed arm hangs were definitely the hardest movement of the bunch, closely followed by ring pushups. It was a little disheartening to suck as much as I did, but I'm looking forward to making slow-but-steady progress in this arena.
