Box Jump, 20" box (Reps)
Push-press, 75 pounds (Reps)

In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute.The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of "rotate", the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

Add your points and post them to comments.

ATTNETION!!! I just wanted to let everyone know as a part of your membership I am opening up my library to you. There will be $1.00 charge to borrow anything per item (I hate for it to seem like a "nickel and dime"ing you thing but need to recover uptaking fees, ie DVDs get scratched/books lose pages) I have everything you'd ever want to learn more about. If I don't have something you are looking for I'll buy it (that's if I agree that there isn't a better resource out there.) Most recommended books will be: Pose Method of Running, Starting Strength, Enter the Kettlebell, Z-Health Neural Warm-up, Secret of the Shoulders, Ross Enamit's Never Gymless and Infinite Intensity. Email me with any questions.

Nothing like a Saturday morning "Filthy Fifty".
