Just started the 300 workout today.

[Wherestherackat]

And I spewed some projectile vomit on the mirror doing 50 24inch box jumps. Great work out. Great vomit.

I didn't even feel it brewing in my stomach. It just kind of flew out... lol...

[jblaisuri]

just so you know, it's not supposed to be a workout. it's more of a fitness test. the guys in 300 did that at the end of their couple months of training, not on a regular basis.

still. strong pukes.

Particularly floor sweepers. Those guys take up so much room.

Word. I'm only doing it twice a week. Trying to cut some body fat and bring up symmetry in lagging body parts.

No need to be a douche bag again just because you have a bloody ass from getting rammed by a dude. lol, chill out queer.

[BloodFart]

first off man im not mad and im not talking bout you. i'm talking bout the morons that saw 300 and said "holy **** ima get ripped like them by doing this workout." i assume your not one of these idiots, and seein someone do it is fine. crossfit or the 300 fitness test is hard work. but when an entourage of people doing this takes up all the room it's irritating.

lol, for sure. Sorry for ripping so quick. But definately agree with the entourage of people doing it. I would get pissed as well. Beach body boys deserve a 45 to the dome and a quick neutering. I personally just got bored with my routines and decided to take it easy for a while.

[BloodFart]

its cool dude, but yeah that work out style will give the best endurance possible, i did it for wrestling and could do sets of 100 pushups and never gassed out during a wrestling match. it's perfect fr a change up or to take a week off from bodybuilding.

[Ctuna98]

It's a cool conditioning workout I would say I did it last year once a month anc it was fun to do.

[southernsilk]

XD@first post

[headhuntr]

I did a few variations of the 300 workout a couple of times. They are pretty damn intense. You shouldn't do them more than once or twice a week though and it shouldn't be your method of workout. As someone said above, it's more of a fitness test than a workout routine. Great for endurance though. It's a fun switch up of things.

[DoWork13]

This may just occupy my Sunday. This looks really intense! Cool facts and info from the articles.

[PH3NOM]

Just finished the 300 workout...with all the prescribed reps and excercises...and that was the closest i came to vomiting during training...

24 mins total time....****ing beat now

[beanboy502]

this is not a workout or a program that was meant to be done every other week, it was meant to test the athletes, stuntmen and actors who put they're fitness on the line in training for the movie.
it is in no way meant to be approached from a bodybuilding point of view.

read up on gym jones and its training philosophies before trying it again.
www.gymjones.com

still fair play if you completed it honestly using full reps & ROM

[doofusdave]

Tried it today just as something different to do and totally had my ass kicked. Can't say that I legitimately finished it because I had to break up all the sets into smaller subsets to get 'em done. But I gave every last ounce of energy and made the required reps in the end, so I'm feeling pretty good about it.

As was said previously, definitely a conditioning workout (which is why I routinely see guys from the football team here doing it) as opposed to a mass building workout. But I'm gonna throw it into the mix every few weeks just to see if I can improve or not.

[UkraineKielbasa]

If only they hadn't called it The 300 Workout it but perhaps The 300 Final Challenge or something, it could have prevented a lot of explaining that its not a "workout".

[PH3NOM]

Who cares what its called. Im not too fond of doing doggcrapp training just cuz of the title, but it dont matter...its the principles of the training style. For example the 300 encourages improved conditioning and a self test. I throw it into every single week one day...it is my "kick the tires and light the fires" work out.

I commend your diligence in trying something hard to test yourself every week. If you don't mind me saying, I think you should try a different test every week. The point behind the Gym Jones type of training is to constantly do different things to test yourself. Doing the same workout every week will only make you better at the workout. Your body adapts, and you must give it new tests. If you look at the schedule on the gym jones website, you'll find the workouts they do daily. Some you may like, some you may not, but they're almost always different or at least variations. Give it a look if you're interested. I'm fond of these three, but there are dozens, if not hundreds, of others.

"Meritorious"
30x Handstand Pushups (or push press @ 115#)
40x Pull ups
50x Kettle Bell swing @ 53# (I use a dumbell)
60x situp (feet anchored)
70x Burpees

"Those Burpee's Suck"
10x Pull Up
20x Kettle Bell Swing @ 53# (or dumbell)
30x Box Jump @24" box
40x Push Up
50x Situp
60x Burpee
10x Pull Up

"More than 200"
3 rounds of
25x Box Jump @24" box
25x Knees to Elbows
25x Thruster
25x Push up


Move through them like you would "300". No timed breaks between exercises, but rest if you have to catch your breath. Keep working hard dude.
Peace.


"If the day's workout prescribes hard work (as opposed to recovery or "conversational" intensity) and you can read a magazine, or talk, or take a sip of your favorite sports drink, or recognize it's your phone that's ringing, or if you're not feeling dizzy, then you are not working hard. Avoiding hard work isn't wrong but it should not be confused with embracing effort, mouth wide open and giving it a bit of tongue ..."

[TheSovereign]

hmm this is very interesting.... im curious to try it sometime. you actually probably could do it as a workout if you really wanted to. things like circuit training help build ur endurance. some MMA fighters like Rich Franklin lift 3x per week, each workout has apx 1500 reps.. non stop, no rest, jog from one station to the next.

im not sayn' the 300 test is easy (i've never tried it) but its not inconceivable to do it two or three times per week.

BUT whoeva mentioned changing up ur workout.. ur right on the money, "tricking" ur body by doing a different routine every so often makes it work harder and as a result u become stronger :-D

[catty112]

Fall season for rugby is less than a month away, Im thinking about throwing this in instead of my weight lifting sessions a couple times, what you guys think?

Dude, you hit it righ on the nail. Ps. Those workouts u have listed look like death and i love nothing more than feeling that state of body where your gonna vomit cuz u just kicked ur own damn ass haha...this is my type of training! Along with olympic lifts ofcourse haha. But hey thx alot for reminding me about the tricking ur body system. Great point. Repped!!! oh and lastly, what section do they mention where the workouts are?

[wisdoms_folly]

The daily workouts are under "schedule" at the top of the Gym Jones home page. I have a ton of other ones written down in my notebook. Let me know if you need some more ideas.

Peace

p.s. repped back

It's amazing for cardio dude, especially if you push the pace. Don't totally neglect weights though, as they're still your best bet for gaining pure strength. But if you wanna get your wind or your muscle endurance up, it'll definately help. Don't forget to mix it up though, like I said before; doing the same workout over and over will only get you better at that workout. Variation is key.

Good luck with Rugby man, I hope this helps =)
