"300." Kinda.

Did the 300 workout tonight. Time; 26:50.

“300”
25x Pull-up +
50x Deadlift @ 135# +
50x Push-up +
50x Box Jump @ 24” box +
50x Floor Wiper @ 135# (one-count) +
50x KB Clean and Press @ 36# (KB must touch floor between reps) +
25x Pull-up
300 reps total

I made a few changes though:
- Because the imperial system is ridiculous and we don't count in pound weights, I used 60kgs instead of 135 pounds (60 kgs ~= 132.3 lbs)

- Again, due to equipment, the box I used was about 30" high, rather than 24".

- I could only manage eight reps of the floor wiper before my arms gave way with the bar on top. Following this, I finished the set with just the bar (20kgs, ~= 44lbs)

- Similarly, I used a 16kg dumbbell for the KB press instead of a 36lb kettleball (16kgs ~=35.3lbs) because I don't have access to kettleballs.

It was a pretty tough gig. By the time I got to the box jumps I was struggling to keep my dinner(s) down. The last set of pullups took about 4 minutes, alternating between screaming out the remaining reps and keeping the puke back behind my teeth. I'm a little disappointed about how the floor wipers went, but in my defense (i.e., my excuse) I'd been greasing the groove with HSPUs and planches all day, and my shoulders were still hurting from the night before (Waaaaghhh...). All in all though, pretty happy with the effort. Could have gone faster though. I'll do it again in a few months and see how I've grown.
