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 Kettlebell 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.
