A1. Bench Press @ 32X2- 5 reps x 3; rest 10 sec
Put two 35# plates on what I think was a 15# training bar (85#).  Felt a little more comfortable than I expected even though I had to struggle a little on the last rep of each set but felt unsure about going up in weight.

A2. Strict Pull Up Cluster- 1.1.1 x 3; rest 2 min
Couldn't even get a strict chin up so I did negatives again and just tried to stretch it out into about 10 seconds since there were only three each set.  That worked until the the last round and then had to drop a little faster because arms were failing.

B1. Ring Dip Negatives @ 51A1- 5 reps x 3; rest 10 sec
I definitely couldn't have done these faster than tempo.  Even at 5 seconds down I was a little afraid I would fall on my face.

B2. Ring Rows @ 31X1- 5 reps x 3; rest 2 min
First round wasn't quite touching my chest.  Adjusted my feet for second round and was able to move a little further back down on third round.

C1. HS Hold- max reps x 3; rest 10 sec
1.  1 minute. Fell once getting up.  Felt weird--too flat against the wall and could tell my arms were at weird angle in front of me but wasn't sure what to do.  Tried to adjust hands and ended up with one still to the side and one facing out from the wall.  Felt terrible.
2. 1 minute 20 seconds.  Fell once getting up. Hands still to the side but in trying to adjust ended up discovering I could shove myself up with my shoulders and felt them lock in to a comfortable position.
3.  1 minute. No fall.  Could shove up a lot further than I thought with my shoulders and still have to figure out how to get my hands in the right position when I get up and how to consistently get up without just flopping up there and hoping I don't fall.

C2. Powell Raise @ 30X0- 8 reps/arm x 3; rest 2 min
Definitely glad I was advised not to go over 10# on these.  Accidently did 5 reps on first round so tried to compensate a little by doing 9 reps on last two rounds.
