Second run of the Floor Press this cycle.  Sets drop to 3, so look to go heavier per set than the 5X5 week.  A safety note:  keep tension and control on the way down to avoid slamming your elbows to the ground.  Slamming will not only kill your elbows, but you run the risk of breaking a wrist.  No one wants that…

Know going in, this AMRAP will be shoulder/tricep intensive through most of the movements.  That said, try as best as you can to shake out the arms during the sit ups
