My First 300 Workout
Well after an earlier post “ The 300 Workout” I decided to give it a shot and see how I faired. Let me first say the 300 workout is much more difficult than you would initially believe. I have been lifting weights regularly for over a year, and irregularly for the previous 2-3 years. I consider myself to be in decent physical shape but this 300 workout pretty much chewed me up and spit me out!
Here are the details of my first 300 workout
I started to run into difficulty right off the bat with 25 pullups. For the first 25 pullups I had to do it in 3 sets consisting of 12/8/5.
Next came the 50 135lbs deadlifts. My grip is what ruined me here after 20 reps my hands just couldn’t grip the bar anymore. So I completed the 50 deadlifts in 3 sets of 20/15/15. Note I do not use anything to assist in grip like wrist bands. I believe that building a strong grip is just as important as anything else you are working on.
The 50 pushups I did in two sets of 25/25. Pushups have fortunately always been a strength of mine and I probably could have done a straight set of 50 but I was still out of breath from the pullups and deadlifts. Remember there is very little down time in between exercises
For 50 box jumps I didn’t have a box so had to use a bench press. This wasn’t to difficult and was able to complete in two 25 rep sets.
The floor wipers were extremely difficult and I wasn’t able to complete all 50. I actually lost track counting and just did as many as I could.
The 50 single arm clean and presses I had only grabbed a 35lbs weight which I believe was to light because I was able to complete the clean and press without a problem.
The last set of 25 pullups…… forget it I was spent!.
So there you have my first experience with the 300 workout. I think I will continue with it though because it really tired me out and made me feel like I was working my “whole” body rather than just isolated muscles.
