Tardiness

First and foremost, before this gets thrown up this is not geared towards anyone in particular. With that said, lately, more and more people have been showing up late to class. 5, 10, 15 even 20 minutes late.

Post results/thoughts to comments Nice work today everybody. The workout today was a little tricky, but I hope you all got out of it what was intended. If you pushed hard and didn’t hold back it should have been tough, and the 50 ball slams at the end should have left you worked. Big numbers for many of you on the strict and bench press. Keep…
