Captain America

So recently at school, we were required to design a workout program for a specific athlete or super-hero of choice.  I chose Captain America to design a short workout program for.  The following is an snippet of the project that I would like to share and a workout that I believe you all will enjoy!  The workout is rather difficult, however, its over arching goals are general.  That being said it is designed for an all around athlete with developmental characteristics than an athlete would need.  Hope you all enjoy this workout!  Give me feed back if you end up trying it out.
