W.O.W. #2: The 300 Workout!


Congratulations to last week's winners: Brad and Anita.

And now on to this weekend's challenge. Be warned: this is not for the faint of heart!

"300 Workout"

100 Reps Back Squat 
Men: 185 lbs Barbell Squats
Women have 2 options:
-Freemotion Squat Machine for women not familiar with barbell squats (@ 120 lbs)
-If you're experienced with Barbell Squats, do them @ 115-135 lbs
*Perform deep squats by letting your hamstring go past parallel to the ground as you squat down.

100 Push-ups 
Men: 35 lb plate on back
Women: bodyweight
*Let chest touch the ground and lock elbows at the top when performing push-ups.

100 Pull-ups
Men: Bodyweight
Women: set up machine weight to where you can do 12 pull-ups only (12th rep is the last you can do and no more)
*From the hang position, pull self up and let chin pass above the handles and lock out elbows at the bottom.


*I suggest breaking up each exercise into 10 sets x 10 reps (10 squats, 10 push-ups, 10 pull-ups and keep moving until you've completed 10 sets)
*Record the time it takes you to finish 300 Reps

Who can beat my time? 18:29
