One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point. “Fight Gone Bad” 3 Rounds 5 minutes on 1 minute off Push Press (75/55) Box Jump 20″ (all athletes) Wall Ball Shots (20/14) Sumo Dead lift High Pulls (75/55) Calorie Row *coaches note – athletes may start somewhere other than push press, but must move in this order.    Read more
