The Gaines & Fox "3 Exercise, 300 Repetition" Workout



So today marked the end of a long week and, as a treat, Fox and myself thought it wise to challenge ourselves to a nice little bout of 300 repetitions. The idea originally spawned from the well-known "300 Workout" by Gym Jones, but we always strive to be original. This is what we came up with...

3 Exercise, 300 Repetition Workout

100 Tire Flips (1 rep, back and forth)
100 Tire Jump Squats (1 rep, back and forth)
100 Pushups (10 reps, back and forth)

Total Time: 34:37 min.

The tire flips we were able to do with a pace of 20 flips each every 3 minutes, completing all 100 within the first 15 minutes. Then we had a short recovery and water break period, followed by the Jump Squats. For the Jump Squats, we coached each other through to maintain form and ensure that we went down into a controlled, eccentric squat as we caught ourselves at the top of the jump. For the pushups, we made sure to go down to at least a 90 degree bend in the elbows, if not lower.
