In this workout you have five stations:

Wall-ball (20 pound ball, 8 ft target)
Deadlift High-pull (75 pounds)
Box Jump (20" box)
Push-press (75 pounds)
Row (Calories)

For each round, spend one minute at each station, doing as many repetitions as possible. Repeat for three rounds with a one-minute rest between rounds.
