    The 300 Workout

    The workout gets its name from the total number of repetitions. But those 300 reps weren't done daily. The 300 workout was the finale of months of training, a kind of graduation test, after actors had weight lifted and trained with tools such as medicine balls and Kettlebells (cast iron weights with handles).

    It's daunting, and includes these weight-training moves:
    • 25 pull-ups
    • 50 deadlifts at 135 pounds
    • 50 push-ups
    • 50 box jumps with a 24-inch box
    • 50 "floor wipers" (a core and shoulders exercise at 135 pounds)
    • 50 "clean and press" at 36 pounds (a weight-lifting exercise)
    • 25 more pull-ups -- for a total of 300 reps

    There's no rest between movements and the score is based on total time.

    Everything looks pretty easy except for these. I think the most I can get out are like 18 reps at a time. 25 non stop and then 25 more later?

      If they're in "decent" shape to begin with why don't they just fix their damn diets and do some cardio - it isn't like they were actually in a real war...

                  at 280 they are a bit hard for me too. the 300 wo is a crossfit wod and with that many pull ups you can do jumping pull ups off a box as long as you are going thru the full range of motion.

                      have you tried to learn the kipping pullup? it makes them alot easier to do. i went from not being even close to doing one pullup to about 5 now.

                              LOL me too. I could do everything else in 1-2 sets but pull ups would take at least 10 sets probably more like 15.
