To be honest, I’m sick of writing workouts for myself. It’s tough to stay motivated because I try to re-write the workout while doing it!
Today, I decided to do a pre-written workout that became popular in 2007, the 300 workout, inspired by the movie 300.
This is the original 300 workout:
- Pull Ups – 25 reps
- Barbell Deadlift with 135-lbs – 50 reps
- Pushups – 50 reps
- 24-inch Box Jumps – 50 reps
- Floor Wipers – 50 reps
- Single-Arm Clean-and-Press with 36 lbs Kettlebell – 50 reps
- Pullups – 25 reps
As you can see, the entire workout consists of 300 total reps.
It’s been a long week and I didn’t want to go to the gym today, so I created my own version using my 30-kg Ultimate Sandbag and chin up bar.
Here is my version:
- Pull Ups – 25 reps
- Ultimate Sandbag High Pull – 50 reps
- Pushups – 50 reps
- Squat Jumps – 50 reps
- Floor Wipers – 50 reps
- Ultimate Sandbag Push Press – 25 reps
- Ultimate Sandbag Bent Over Row – 25 reps
- Chin Ups – 25 reps
Here is the version of the Floor Wiper I did – lie on your back with the Ultimate Sandbag just above your head. Hold the neutral grip handles and straighten out your legs. Lift them off the floor together and bring them at a diagonal toward your left hand. Return them to the starting position and then lift them toward your right hand. That is one rep.
You can set your timer and complete the entire workout as fast as possible. That way, the next time you attempt this workout, use the same weight and see if you can beat your time. I call these time trial sets.
Good luck!
Let me know how you do,
