300

In a blatant copy of the Crossfit North Manly WOD from Saturday, Dave and I did the 300 workout today. I love this workout - it's one of the first "Crossfit style" workouts I ever did. I also love the hype and misunderstanding around it. Google "300 workout" and you'll find a ream of sites written by uninformed idiots with a baseless opinion. I find these very amusing as these people obviously have no clue what they're talking about. But, don't let me rant, check out the following article from the creator of the workout (click here). Gym Jones, the bunch who were tasked with training the cast of the movie "300", have a very similar fitness philosophy to Crossfit. Their website is very informative as well. Check it out.

We did a slightly modified version this morning, with Dave scaling down the floor wipers and cleans.

25 pullups
50 deadlifts at 60kg
50 tuck jumps
50 pushups
50 floor wipers at 60kg (1 rep is 1 one each side, so a total of 100 raises)
50 cleans (25 each arm) with a 17.5kg dumbell
25 pullups

I did 18:52, Dave was about a minute behind but he had to wait while I did my last few reps of floor wipers. We did abs after. Great workout. The floor wipers were killer. It's the first time I've done them RX'd.
