May I just state for the record that David named this workout, not me. I'm quite content, actually...
I got there a bit later than usual due to a work commitment so I'm not sure what the warm ups for others were; I got in about 3-5 minutes of jump rope and I'm sure David did the same.
Our main workout included new exercises and was quite challenging. 20 min. AMSAP:
10 each of:
Renegade rows
Kettlebell pulls
dumbbell leg lifts (ouch)
60# push-press (ouch)
rubber-band style twists (what were these called?)
dumbbell half-jumps
four rounds for us all (albeit David and Phil got part-way into the next round and I didn't)
6 minutes of medicine ball throwing
6 30-sec rounds of planks.
Tai chi class for David and Phil, kung fu class for Lucas (did chie chuan 20 times--good for me but painful)
The extracurricular fitness endeavors of a couple Kung Fu blackbelts who are committed to high-level fitness.

A workout without arguments
Looking to push hard on the tabatas I created a high-aerobic workout which did have me winded at many points. Warmed up with some jumprope and 30-sec bag work rounds then:
:20/:10 tabatas x 8
Bicycles
Mountain climbers
Jumping jacks with weight
Twists with various weight medicine balls
Blasters
push-ups
V-ups
Yes, that's SEVEN sets. I'd like to get back up to eight myself.
Warm down with one-minute medicine ball toss rounds X 7 since I lost count of the number of rounds...

Two guys, a Kettle bell and a Dungeon.
Well all that was left since people either had to work for a liven or had to Slack off was Phil and I. We had a pretty good work out and it was all Phil's idea. So he can only blame himself for the pain.
Pre-Warm up: 5mins of Jump Rope and 5 mins of Rowing. (only David did this)
Warm up : 4 rounds of bag work for both Phil and David
AMSAP for about 20 mins:
(There is a snafu with the timer which paused a min in so we had to guess after it restarted)
A set consisted of 10 Reps of:
Push-Ups
Twists w/ 14lb medi ball
Squats
Arm I (70 lbs push pulls and 35 lb Kettle Bell)
Wheel of Pain
Side Squats with 12lb Medi Ball
The totals were: 6 sets for David and 5 sets for Phil.
Cool down was Yang Dagger a few times.
