How many rotations can you do within 15 minutes? One point each station.
Back extension 15 reps with 25 lb. plate
Muscle-up
Deadlift/High-pull X 10 reps 50% body weight

How many passes of this circuit can you make in 20 minutes?
Count each element (Box jump, Muscle-up, Leg raise) as a single point,
so that, for instance, four complete circuits and once more 20 box jumps
and one more muscle-up would be 14 points. If you still can't do the
muscle-up substitute twenty assisted pull-up and dips.
Box Jump 20" X 20 jumps
Muscle-up
Hanging leg raise, toes to bar X10
Five rounds for time of:
25 Squats
10 Pull-ups
10 Dips
Submit time and level of assistance for pull-ups and dips.
If assisted, keep assistance at same level throughout workout.
Total time and assistance amount is excellent indicator of your overall fitness.
Rush through!
5 Sets of pull-ups. Fast-slow-fast-slow-fast.
The fast ones are fast and sloppy; the slow ones are excruciatingly perfect.
This is, of course, high rep and low rep, alternating.
The following circuit contains three elements and is a powerful whole body workout.
Each element is 45 seconds with a fifteen second rotation
(not one second more or you start over).
Make five rotations. That's exactly fifteen minutes.
If you don't know the elements you haven't been paying attention.

Time five muscle-ups and 50 box jumps on 20" plyo box.
We're interested in both times and decay rate from first to second effort.
If you can't do muscle-ups, substitute fifteen pull-ups and twenty dips for each muscle-up.
If you can't do pull-ups and dips use assistance device (Cybex, Gravitron, etc.)
If you mix muscle-ups and pull-ups/dips report numbers of each with time.
Repeat this circuit three times with no rest. Push hard; make each set a worthy effort.
Use your judgement on the reps. Great athletes will make each set a challenge and
execute the movements with great control and technique.
Max heart rates are readily available here. For you fighters, this is a fight.
