Warmup:
  3 x 10/10 Pushups/Inverted Rows

50 Leaning DB Rows @ 65# (25 ea) (12-12-10-10-8)
Rest with 10 Bent Rows @ 135#

Notes:
"Rest with..." means that each time you stop an exercise to rest (i.e. after my first 6 reps of bench press), before you can rest, you must execute a set of the noted exercise... so my 205# Bench Press workout looked like this: 6 reps BP, 10 pushups, rest, 5 reps BP, 10 pushups, rest, 4 reps BP, 10 pushups, rest, 3 reps BP, 10 pushups, rest, 2 reps BP, 10 pushups.  These are treated as supersets, so don't take a break until the second exercise set is complete.

Notes:
GHD Situp = Situp using a GHD bench.  If you don't have access to one do an unsupported situp.
CTGU = Combined Turkish Getup.  Heavier weight goes in normal hand (one held overhead).  Bottom hand carries lighter weight.
Breathing Ladder = 1 rep, 1 deep breath, 2 reps, 2 deep breaths, etc. until top number is reached.  Once a ladder is finished, start the next... this is done continuously.  Control breathing as much as possible during recovery.  The longer this takes you, the better.
