Notes:  Nice to see class continuing the trend of upper body strength work on Tuesdays.  Goal was to work up to a 3 RM on the final set of press.  I tied a personal record by hitting 135#.  Obviously, upper body strength isn't a major focus right now during the squat cycle, but I'm glad to see that I'm at least maintaining maximum upper body strength.  I plan to start incorporating much more pressing during my Saturday workouts.  Metcon was fine, but it left my abs ridiculously sore -- I was actually cramping during the workout.  Threw in some pull-ups at the end in an effort to begin adding more gymnastics volume.  These, along with toes-to-bar, will be a major point of emphasis this year.
