Post-metcon:  Toes-to-bar 3 x 10

Notes:  Very happy that I was able to recover from my arm pain this weekend to be able to press tonight.  My focus tonight was on using proper pressing form.  That means keeping gripping the bar way down in the palm, maintaining a neutral wrist position, and keeping the elbows vertical.  I felt a little bit tentative with the movement, but had zero arm pain.  I think this new technique will allow me to increase pressing numbers.  Decided to opt out of the push press AMRAP so as not to inflame my arms.  Metcon was fun in the team environment.  Which went unbroken throughout.  It was also good to practice toes-to-bar after class.  Emphasis was on driving the feet down rather than allowing a huge swing out front.  Need to start doing more of these.
