Fight Gone Bad

Warning: This is an aggressive workout. You probably won't like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the strength or dedication to be able to finish a workout of this quality and depth.


Fight Gone Bad:
3 rounds of:
1:00 Wall-ball, 20lb ball (reps)
1:00 Sumo Deadlift, 75lbs (reps)
1:00 Box Jumps, 20" box (reps)
1:00 Push-press, 75 lbs (reps)
1:00 Treadmill, 10mph & 7% incline (Calories)
1:00 Rest
Add up your total points.

Scoring: One point for each rep, except on the treadmill where each Calorie is one point. Ten bonus points for correctly identifying that which the warning references.

NB - I modified this workout from the Crossfit original such that, while I moved from one exercise to the next as fast as possible, I made sure to give a full minute for each exercise. During rounds 1 and 2, that ended up being about 10-15 seconds between exercises. In round 3 it was more like 20-25 seconds between exercises. I also substituted the treadmill for the rower since ours has a busted display. The treadmill is much harder, IMO, since its speed is constant and it doesn't care how much wind you're sucking.
