*Results: 19 Rounds + 1 Deadlift

This was a long rough workout and I did it alone. There were times in this workout that I thought 30 minutes was impossible and other times that I thought I wasn't moving fast enough. I finished round 15 at around the 17 minute mark, so I was moving at a decent pace. I thought the deadlifts would be a non-issue and the push-ups would be what slowed me down, but I was wrong. In the later rounds the deadlifts became an issue; I didn't want to chalk up for every round, so I could only do 1 or 2 reps before dropping the bar and resetting. I did my last 3 rounds of push-ups unbroken and my last 2 rounds of deadlifts at singles. Box jumps were a breeze as I expected, I no rep'd myself 3 times on the box jumps for not holding games standards.
