Thoughts:
This workout hit the Back and Forearms pretty heavily.  The Pull-ups were brutal; A little additional weight combined with some diminished strength made me seriously doubt whether I could even complete this workout. (Seriously, I almost quit twice on the first set of Pull-ups, but taking a step back I could see that it would become more manageable if I could just get though the first couple sets.) I tried to do 5 at a time. I used to be pretty good at Pull-ups, which makes me think about how much better a position I would be in if I had continued to workout and stay in shape.

Lesson:
Why start if your not going to commit? (Workouts, relationships, jobs, spiritual walk: It's all applicable)
