part one is reminiscent of training i was doing around a year and a half ago. not a lot of intensity but no bs either. i had been neglecting the front squat and wanted to see how i would hold up at this load. the goal was perfect form on all 30 reps and i'd say i achieved it on 25 or so. the last one or two in each set saw some slight upper body bend with very little drop in the elbow position. the strict pullup is something i used to do a lot and was always relatively good at. when my shoulder was still a problem i couldn't do the movement and am not sure the last time i incorporated it. mountain athlete situps fall in the same category, a great movement but somewhat hard to do "for time". the weather was too nice not to finish the day with something outside of the garage, hence the run. took it pretty slow. someone told me i should take a step back and have some "fun" with my training. so, even though i thought i was, i'm going to be open minded and try.
