Start the dumbbell exercises using the same side hand each time.
- Station 1: One-arm (assisted) dumbbell cleans x 4-6 reps per arm.
- Station 2: Sled – 1 lap (up and back) between the cones for 30-40 yards.
- Station 3: Grab the dumbbell again and perform a one-arm swing x 4-6 reps per arm.
- Station 4: Sled for another lap.
- Station 5: Pick up the dumbbell and perform a free-standing bent over row x 6-8 reps per arm.
- Station 6: Sled for another lap.
- Station 7: Grab the dumbbell again and finish with a set of one-leg DB Romanian deadlifts x 8-12 reps per arm.
Note: On the cleans, use your free arm to assist in getting the dumbbell up to the "racked position" on each rep. Doing so allows you to use a heavier load and get more muscle involved.

Eccentric Exercise
It seems like you've been adding weight to the stack each time you do triceps pushdowns. The veins in your neck stick out like a garden hose as you power through the sticking point, and the cable starts cutting into your neck, just like your idol, Tom Platz. You stop, however, before it cuts through and leaves a bloody mess on the floor.
