Good Behavior: W7 D2
Shoulderstand Squats
1x18
1x16
Little less reps, lot less stress on that vertebrae; call it a fair trade. Still a long way to go, but these felt so much better on my neck. Practice, practice, practice...

Kneeling Pushups
2x25
1x22
Perhaps my assessment last week (feeling like I could have done the 3x30 progression standard) was inaccurate. Thought I'd do 3x25 today; fell a bit short. Could have squeezed out a few more reps, but by the time I got to 20 on the last set I was having to take extra pause time at the top of each rep to rest before the next.
Knee Tucks
2x25 (Intermediate Standard!)
1x15
Only took 7 weeks to hit the intermediate standard! I'm actually excited about that; these weeks just flew by, leaving me with a real sense of progress and accomplishment.

Good Behavior: W6 D3
Moved D3 to Saturday because I got my sleeve finished on Thursday and my arm was swollen and stiff on Friday.
Straight Bridges
3x10
Whoo! I like these... can really feel a bunch of different muscles working. Tri's get a little blasted as well as the back muscles.
Wall Handstands
1x46 seconds
1x45
1x30
These are still pretty fuckin' hard, but felt good enough to add another set.

Good Behavior: W6 D2
Horizontal Pulls
1x10 (Beginner Standard!)
1x5,2(3?)
1x15 - high bar
1x5
Made the move to the low bar. Squeezed out the beginner standard plus a few. Not bad.
Shoulderstand Squats
2x20
Still killing my neck with these, right on that one vertebrae at the base, almost between the tops of my shoulder blades. Did some poking around on the internet and concluded that this isn't uncommon, and that the fix is slow and steady practice - I'll fix it eventually if I don't push too hard and keep my focus on form.

Good Behavior: W6 D1
Kneeling Pushups
3x20 (Intermediate Standard! - 2x15, Progression Standard - 3x30)
I probably could have pushed these to the progression standard, but I wanted to leave some in the tank and continue to take things slowly to perfect my pacing and form. Feels good! Much more satisfying than 20 years ago when I thought of these as sissy pushups; an exercise for girls and little bitches.
