Thursday: "300" Workout

Been on DL because of foot for way too long. Sucked. Tryin to get back into it with the oddly revered "300 workout". I thought I would have to swap in something for the box jumps because of foot but it wasn't bothering me at all really during the workout (yet it was going up the stairs and it was definitely after the workout in the locker room) -- I guess stress on other parts of the body made the foot more comfortable...go figure.

300 Reps Total

Did this as RX'd, plus maybe double the clean and press (35lb DB instead of KB)... I always count one-sided/one-armed exercises as a whole rep = both sides. But everyone I've ever seen do this routine, or pieces of the routine, I think has treated each side as a rep and done 25/side. I don't know if that's what's intended by the creators or not, but after the first 20 reps (both sides, one arm at a time), I realized it was very tedious and taking forever so I doubled up for the duration and just did the last 30 two-handed/two DBs.

That said, the workout was much harder than I thought. Easy exercises like push ups get hard when you go right into them from something else, box jumps are easy when you are doing them but once you stop they catch up with ya, I felt like I was gonna upchuck after completion of the floor wipers, and completing 25 pull ups in any reasonable amount of time on both ends was a struggle (especially back end). I think my total time was around an hour, which is where the true rating of the performance comes in I guess. I had to load weights and set up box jump and risers for the wipers - everything wasn't laid out for me, but I did break a lot for water and during most exercises. (Do better next time - shoot for inside of 30min subtracting 'set up' time if necessary.)
