    Last time I got 7 rounds, but I did the sub with the 10 pullups/dips, which just takes more time.

    Hey all
    Is anybody interested in doing the Level 2 cert or have any of you registered yet?
    I had a few people ask me about holding review sessions to practice for the Level 2. Jennifer Hunter and Gillian Mounsey said they might offer their expertise as well.
    Email me if you are interested in attending some of these sessions. I’m just trying to gauge people’s interest right now. These sessions would be free.
