KAllen Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 While at my gym, which is at the Univ. I work at, they had a sign up for the "300 Challenge". It includes the following:25 pullups50 deadlifts50 pushups50 floorwipes(whatever that is)50 box jumps50 kettleball clean & press25 pullupsTime Limit: 40minsPrize: T-shirtI thought this is totally cool. I just wish I could complete it. If they do it next year...I'll give it a try. I can do some of them, but I'm nowhere near close enough to do all of them.

So Late So Soon Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 That seems like a lot of fun though I wouldn't be able to do the pull-ups Quote Well I guess it's only life, it's only natural We all spend a little while going down the rabbit hole Link to comment
Corbab Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 That's pretty hardcore. Sounds fun, but I'd be toasted on the pullups. Incidentally, what are the DL and KB weights?Oh, and also, a floor wipe is an ab exercise. Lay on your back with your hands anchored (usually on a barbell/post) and kick your feet up towards your head and over to one side. Then do it on the other side. They're hellish while you're doing them, but you feel like a badass afterwards. Quote Never think of pain or danger or enemies a moment longer than is necessary to fight them. -Ayn Rand Amongst those less skilled you can see all this energy escaping through contorted faces, gritted teeth and tight shoulders that consume huge amounts of effort but contribute nothing to achieving the task.

Lachy Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I could *maybe* do a 150 challenge But I'm also curious what the weights are for the DL and KBs. Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment
Max Power Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I'd hate to do 50 deadlifts at any weight, I could see form going out the window pretty quick there.

Rooks Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Yeah. Definitely a long term goal. Gotta tear it up to do that. Quote Link to comment
bigm141414 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 The floorwipers are the only thing I would have an issue with. Everything else is mostly doable (although the 25 pullups at the beginning and end would take me a while).

Everything else is mostly doable (although the 25 pullups at the beginning and end would take me a while).I feel the same, but if they're a challenge at the start, can you imagine the second set at the end?

Aluminae Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 The 300 was my intro into weight lifting....a capable trainer I had at the time encouraged me to try it with close to the full weight when I had no business doing this. Here is my advice.Definitely watch out most for your form on the Deadlift, as you will want to be done very quickly. Start with lower weight; it is still a badass workout....Make sure you force breaths on floor sweepers, as it will make them infinitely easier....Try to drop you time by running between stations....sounds crazy, but I dropped a few minutes this way....I went from 45 min to now around 20. It is very doable and easily trainable. I still love it 3 years later! Quote Link to comment

KillerGriller Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 do you alternate arms for the kettlebell C&P or do you do all 25 on one side, then do the other 25 on the other side Quote Scout: STR: 20.5 | DEX: 13 | STA: 28 | CON: 13.5 | WIS: 8 | CHA: 4http://51feetunder.wordpress.com/ - Running, Rock & Roll, Rock Climbing and PhotographyFitocracy ProfileTwitter Latest Challenge Link to comment

KAllen Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I go workout tomorrow after my shift. I'll try and find the answers to the DL & KB weight and swapage of sides.

AgentsSka Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Gang - in the NF Blog Post that CoreyD linked to, there is a video from Men's Fitness Mag that answers all these questions & more.He is clearly doing the Dead Lifts with 135lbs. And, he says 25 Kettle Bell Presses with each arm.Also, on the Floor Wipers, he isn't just holding onto a bar to do them. He's holding up the 135 lbs above him (the peak of the bench press) while doing them. For me, it's between the Floor Wipers and the Pull Ups as to what will take me the longest to finish.Here is the video: Quote Current Challenge || Previous:: 2020 Reset There are a ton of previous challenges that I'm not linking "Freaking pansies.

KAllen Posted April 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Well...I was going to ask today, however, my gym (actually in the intrmural center at a university) was closed because of a drama workshop. The coolness of it was it was teaching stage swordmanship and fighting will be all weekend.

KAllen Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Allright...found out yesterday...all weight is in pounds, if you don't speak pounds then you should!!! Its like engines are measured in cubic inches NOT liters. Cokes are measured in liters. Actually nothing should be measured in liters....the metric system is totally unrealistic, like celcius and global warming...total bunk!!!Deadlifts is 135lbKettleball clean & press is a 35lbFloorwipes use the 135lb as well Quote "A sharp knife is nothing without a sharp eye" - Koloth "Ya can't grill it until ya kill it" - Uncle Ted "If it ain't Metal...IT'S CRAP!!!" - Dee Snider Link to comment
Ryan Sannar Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I think I'll set this as a benchmark. Do it in like 6 months. Quote Link to comment
