300 - The Workout

My trainer started me on this training program last week and I must say that it is totally kicking my butt! It is the same workout that the actors used to get in shape for the movie 300, and also is the number of reps that you perform during each workout.  Here is how it breaks down:

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 is not any scheduled rest between exercises - though you may need it!
