For time:
50 Push-ups
50 Pull-ups
75 Sit-ups
75 Kettlebell Swings, 1 "pood" kettlebell (16kg)
150 Air Squats
Perform in any order. The idea is to perform each in as
few sets as possible. All of the reps from each exercise do not have
to be completed before starting some from another exercise.
Keep track of the reps and tally the total sets to completion.
Note time to completion. Final score is total number of sets
multiplied by time in minutes to completion.
Notes:
1. One possible approach is to perform a near max set of push-ups,
go on to the pull-ups, do the same with the sit-ups, etc. After the squats,
go back to the push-ups and run through the list again finishing as much
as you can at each exercise.
2. Seven sets total in ten minutes for a "70" is an excellent score!

Three rounds of:
Jump Rope "double-unders"; 2 minutes
Rest 30 seconds.
Powerclean bodyweight, max reps, no rest.
Rest 5 minutes.
Notes:
1. If you can't double under then jump hard, high, and fast.
2. If you can't powerclean your bodyweight then use less weight (duhhhh..)
3. No rest on the powercleans implies that you don't put the weight down,
though you may pause at hang or rack.

The venerable Dr. Hatfield here describes his training regimen for
Evander Holyfield. The great advantage that Dr. Hatfield brought to
Evander's game is the realization that boxing is anaerobic not aerobic
sport. The periodizaton scheme was of minor import.
http://www.sportsci.org/news/news9709/hatfield.html
Sadly, what Dr. Hatfield artculates in the first three paragraphs of this
article is critical yet not understood by nearly all in the mixed martial
arts community.

Have a partner gently assist you through twenty consecutive muscle-ups.
Switch.
Repeat.
Notes:
1. The most effective spotting/assisting technique is to lift from the
bottom of the feet or about the ribs.
2. This is REALLY tough. Potentially for both.
