Take 15 Minutes to build to a heavy Bench Press Triple and then…….

Every 90 seconds, for 12 minutes (8 sets) of:
Bench Press x 1 rep

Build to a challenging triple, and then use that weight to perform one rep every 90 seconds for 8 sets. Focus on moving the weight as quickly as possible from chest to lockout.

"Desire"
For max reps:
5 Minutes of Burpee Box Jump-Overs (24"/20")

This is a simple test of desire. Touch your chest and thighs to the ground simultaneously, get up, get over the box, fall down and repeat. You may jump laterally over the box, but only your feet may touch the box. If you haven't done it before...can you get 80 reps in the 5 minutes?
