Notes: This was a great training day.  I woke up sore and bruised in weird places from Ninja Warrior-ing, but it didn't slow me down any.  I actually started the workout with 1 set of 5 box jumps, and it opened up my hips so well that I really just need to make it a point to always do a jump before I squat.  Difference is night and day.

Way I structured this workout was to double up on presses.  Do I would press-squat-chin-press-load plates on the squat bar-press-squat-chin-press, etc.  It was a good workout that way and made this move fast.

Really happy with how hard I pushed the widowmaker today.  Got past my normal point of turn around.  My breathing seems to be the significant factor for feeling like I'm going to vomit, so something to watch for.

That burpee/swing thing went really well.  Have to remember that.

Tang Soo Do sparring night tonight.  Should be a good workout.
