PULL UPS (overhand, alternate medium and wide grip, explosive concentric speed): 2 sets of 10 reps

No PR's, didn't even hit any gym bests, but I got the work in even though it was late and I really didn't feel like it after running around all day. That's a good day at the gym.

Here's what those jump squats look like; this is a video from back around 6 months ago when I first started doing them:
