The "300" Workout
Supposedly, this is the workout that the actors in the movie 300 used to get their lean physiques. It looks pretty brutal, especially the pull-ups and the "floor wipers". I might try it just for a switch up though. I doubt I can do the 50 reps each exercise calls for though. Basically, it's a 300 rep workout with no rest, switching exercises after 50 reps (25 with pull-ups).

My goal is to be able to do this by the end of the summer. I'm starting by doing a 150 rep version, then month by month trying to build up to 200, 250, and finally, 300.

So have you already been working on it? I just discovered it yesterday and it looks like a great challenge. I like your approach to it. The only thing I'm missing in my garage gym is a pull-up bar but that's an easy fix.

Interestingly enough, the gym where the actors were working out is in Salt Lake-- Gym Jones.

So I did my "150" today. Don't suppose there's any chance in hades that I'll be able to pull off the 300 by the end of the summer.
Oh well-- it will be interesting to see how close I can get.

How long did it take you to complete it? Did you use the same amount of weight and just lower the reps?

We'll see how it goes.

How many times/wk are you going to do this workout? Are the floorwipers as dangerous as they look?

I do the floor wipers beneath a squat rack, set a couple of inches below where the bar will be with my arms fully extended. Maybe that's cheating. I dunno.
