Bodyweight Workouts: Do the 300 Workout with your Bodyweight
The 300 workouts, from the film “300″ is still a widely popular workout for people who want to challenge themselves with super intense workouts. However, many people are unable to do perform the full 300 workout because they lack a barbell and kettlebell.
Well, you can easily set up your own 300 workout using just your bodyweight. The idea behind the 300 workout is to perform 5-10 exercises with high repetitions each, and to complete the workout as quickly as possible.
The original 300 Workout looked something like this:
- Pullups – 25 reps
- Deadlifts with 135lbs – 50 reps
- Pushups – 50 reps
- 24-inch Box jumps – 50 reps
- Floor wipers – 50 reps
- Single-arm Clean-and-Press with 36lbs Kettlebell – 50 reps
- Pullups – 25 reps
Mens Health, who was the first magazine to publish the workout, actually did come out with a Bodyweight version. It looked something like this:
- 15 bodyweight rows
- 25 bodyweight squats
- 15 pushups
- 50 jumping jacks
- 20 mountain climbers
- 10 close grip pushups
- 15 bodyweight rows
As you can see, this workout only has 150 repetitions. You can double the repetitions to make it 300. There are hundreds of different variations to the this workout that you can perform.
All it takes is a little creativity. For example, if you wanted to create a workout that trained your body to be more explosive, then you can perform a workout like this:
- 30 Chinups
- 50 Squat Jumps
- 30 Clap Pushups
- 100 Jumping Jacks
- 40 Tuck Jumps
- 20 Dive Bombers
- 30 Pullups
