Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
5 weighted pull-ups

15 squats holding a plate
Juicy steak, sautéed peppers and onions, melty provolone, and a creamy sauce—all wrapped in crisp lettuce.
Dr. Prasad, a noted critic of the government’s Covid-19 vaccine policies, has been appointed to lead the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, replacing Dr. Peter Marks.
Men use 35-lb DB for pull-ups, raise feet on a 30” box, and hold a 45-lb plate.
Women use 25-lb DB for pull-ups, raise feet on a 24” box, and hold a 35-lb plate.

Preparation
Make the Mayo Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. If you want a thinner sauce, stir in 1–2 tsp of heavy cream. Set aside.
Cook the Cheesesteak Filling: Melt butter (1 Tbsp) in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and bell peppers, sautéing for 4–5 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. Push veggies to one side of the pan and add steak. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sear for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through. Mix everything together in the skillet, then place provolone slices over the top. Let melt for 1–2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Assemble the Wraps: Spoon the cheesy steak and veggie mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf.
Drizzle with sauce or serve it on the side for dipping.
Prasad's leadership is expected to bring increased scrutiny to vaccine and gene therapy approvals, a shift that has already shaken biotech markets and raised questions about future vaccine policy directions.

Total: 8 complete rounds.
Notes: As to be expected, pull-ups and push-ups were the restricting factors. Quickly went to pattern of singles for pull-ups and 2 sets of 5 for push-ups. Potential progression for next time, same mods, but stringing together more reps.
