Tasha posted this message to Facebook last week about Wednesday nights training session:

“Tonight’s workout awesome…I really enjoyed this evening..lot’s of fun! I was soaked after the conditioning!! I really pushed myself…:) I’m looking forward to Saturday! May=Marvelous.”

I am inclined to say that Miss Tasha is CORRECT! May is going to be lot’s of fun as we focus on fine tuning our skills and getting stronger at our compound lifts. As you all know, we have 3 training sessions throughout the week: (A) Day (Mon/Tues), (B) Day (Weds/Thurs) and (C) Day (Saturday). Starting this month I am going to list the rough outline of our monthly sessions so that you can have an idea of what you’re in for (or what you missed!)
