Why can't today be Friday?

Knife draw x 30, Grand Total: 2940
Swedish Podcasts
Intuflow (RPT 7, RPE 2, RPD 1)
FlowFit (RPT 5, RPE 9, RPD 3)

Started out with Intuflow today. Felt pretty good, but I stopped after the 4CBD, since I would be doing spinal rocks and quad hops as a part of FlowFit. I did do the breathing squats and such after FlowFit, to try and get my breath back. I also re-did shoulders, elbows, and wrists after FlowFit, as compensation.

Since today was a High Intensity day, I did 18 minutes of FlowFit, which came out to 14 reps (I had just finished the first movement of rep 15, the quad hop, when time ran out). I felt relatively good about my technique, for the second time doing the exercises, except for two movements. One's kind of hard to describe, so I won't try. The other is a spinal rock to deck squat, which means you squat down until your butt is as low as it will go, then you roll backwards along your spine until you're up on your shoulders. Roll back forward, and when your feet hit the ground, continue the roll by standing straight up. Today I actually felt like I was closer to pulling it off than I was yesterday, but I have a feeling that it will still be a while before I can do it.

After FlowFit, I did one set of five screwing pressups, which is the basic RMAX sophistication of the regular pushup. This didn't feel bad at all, and since I'm not really taxing my chest or arms much with the current FlowFit exercises, I'll probably work on these, aiming for five sets of five reps.

Finally, after screwing pressups, I did some pullups. Sort of. I did one set of three negatives, with my feet on a chair to assist in the initial pull up to the bar. Then I did another set of two. Somewhere in all that, I also did a little Be Breathed. In fact, I managed a full Butterfly twice, but my lower back feels a little tender after FlowFit, so I decided not to overdo the Be Breathed today.

Only 30 knife draws again. I'm hoping that if I take it easy, the damn finger will heal. Also, no kanji today. My brain can't take it. Swedish was limited to listening to various podcasts as background noise at work.
