Day 36: Priority Training Day

This marks the beginning of week 6 and my progress has hit a new challenge.
1)  I missed one day of logging somewhere in the past week
2)  Priority training day is always on Saturday
3)  Moving to middle grips is a bit more difficult than I anticipated
4)  Consistent rest at night has not been great, though I have had my full 7-8 hours.
5)  The right shoulder flares up from time to time, but stretching does help it immensely

My plan of action is this:
1)  Go to bed the same time every night, rise the same time every morning
2)  Get plenty of good complex carbohydrates on my priority training days
3)  Stretch more often between sessions to keep that right shoulder loosened
4)  Begin to mimic the number of repetitions in movements on secondary training days.  For example, I use the assisted pull up machine and crank out 100 on an easy setting.  Then, as time progresses, gradually take away the assist 5 pounds at a time.

Warm up and cooldown was on treadmill for 10 minute (per usual).

Today, I DID accomplish something and I certainly still look at it as a success.  I completed 100 pull ups on the middle grips in 12 minutes and 50 seconds.  My first attempt I was able to complete 20 pull ups straight without rest.  Thereafter, I cranked out about 10 a few times, then finished out with 5 pull ups at a time.  After that, I focused on these movements:
