Workout: 300

 

 Spartan Workout:

25 x Pull-up  (any grip)
50 x Deadlift @ 60kg 
50 x Push-up  
50 x Box Jump  (24 inch box)
50 x Floor Wiper @ 60kg 
50 x KB Clean and Press @ 16kg (KB to touch floor between reps)
25 x Pull-up (any grip)

= a total of 300 reps.  

This challenge got me exciting about fitness again.  It seemed so fresh and an interesting approach to working out.  I first completed this in late 2006 and have done it about 6 times since, every 4 or 5 months.  The aim is to complete this as quickly as possible, with minimal rest but with quality reps.  

It's not so much a workout, but a challenge, a benchmark of general physical capacity.  Used as a one time test for the actor's in the film 300 devised by Mark Twight of GymJones.

My first attempt at this took around 50 minutes, my best attempt to date 19 minutes.  Good luck!

KB = Kettlebell (substitute with 18kg DumbBell)
