Wound up and ready to go

Knife draw x 30, Grand Total: 3000
Swedish in the Car
Kanji Review
Intuflow (RPT 7, RPE 2, RPD 1)
FlowFit (RPT 6, RPE 9, RPD 2)
Be Breathed (RPT 7, RPE 5, RPD 2)
Some pullups (well, negatives)

Mrs Chops and I did the first half of Intuflow while the kids were up and running around. I did the last half after my workout. She had gone into non-exercise mode by then, so she didn't finish with me. Felt good, though. However, I think I'm going to start revising my RPT numbers down. The more I do it, the more (minor) problems I see with my form. Nothing horribly wrong, just lots of room for improvement.

I set the timer for 18 minutes today, and I managed 16 reps. It actually took me 17:20, but I felt like dying so I didn't try to squeeze in another rep. Also, it looks like my old timing source was messed up, so disregard all time/rep pairings prior to this. 16 reps in 18 minutes is the new official benchmark. Medium intensity days will continue to be 15 minutes.

I did 10 butterflies after FlowFit to get my breathing under control. As expected, this worked like magic. Someday I'd like to explore the RESET methods, but for now, Be Breathed is working just fine. I felt a little soreness in my lower back on the 10th rep, but other than that, it went really well.

Finished up with some pullups. I did four or five (wasn't counting) with my legs on a chair. Then I did two negatives. I figured that was plenty of work for tonight.
