Good Behavior: W4 D3

Straight Bridges (bent legs)
1x10
1x12
1x10 - various leg and arm positions

I found it impossible to do a single rep as depicted in the book, with arms straight down from shoulders to hips and legs straight out in front, so I did my reps with my knees bent.  I experimented with starting from the finish position and found that when I dropped my ass down, it didn't rest between my hands like the picture shows.  I wonder if this is due to my body shape, my lack of flexibility, my lack of strength, or if the heels are actually supposed to slide on the floor during this exercise.  Whatever the reason, it's bent legs for me for at least another week.

Wall Handstands
1x42 seconds
1x35 seconds

Holy shit, this is harder than it sounds.  The right arm is funny on this one:  had a hard time keeping the elbow straight.  Weak triceps, or congenital defect?  Time will tell.
