The Fastest 300 In Denver

John Hoot did 300 exactly as it was written by Mark Twight, exactly the same way the actors from the movie did it:

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

John's time - 19:54

Ok, not exactly the way they did it - the keen observer will notice he accidentally put the box jumps after the clean and presses instead of after the pushups.  Regardless of the order, John did the full 300 reps with the full weights on everything, and the floor wipers.

At 19:54, John's got the fastest time I've seen.  In fact, at 19:54, he's less than two minutes behind Andrew Pleavin, the actor who played Daxos in the movie 300.  Andrew did 300 in 18:11.

Some people have asked me, how many times did John do 300?  He only did it once.  300 wasn't the workout that got him here, it was just a test.  John eats a steady diet of heavy full body movements at high intensity, all the time.

I'm a specialist in getting my clients lean, fast.  I usually work the hardest clients to lean out - girls who are already in good shape. I like the challenge.  It's actually easier to lean out guys because guys naturally carry more muscle.  My book is about how anyone can get that that lean, rockstar body.

Any chance you could post a sub 20 min workout on You Tube???

I'm still confused as to what a weighted Floor Wiper is!!!

[some dude]

A floor wiper:

lay on your back, have a spotter hand you an olympic bar with 45's on each end with collars (i.e. 135#)

press the bar to lockout like a bench press.

now with your legs together and straight, swing both feet up and touch the right plate. return to the start, and swing up to the left plate, return. This is one rep

its basically leg raises to the bar while lying on your back pressing and holding 135#
