COMMENTS:

This is a great workout! This workout is an adaptation of the workout "300" which was developed by Mark Twight at Gym Jones (http://www.gymjones.com/knowledge.php?id=35) as a sort of graduation "gift" to the stunt men and actors he worked with prior to the movie "300" -- if you haven't seen this movie, I recommend it.

The thing that makes this workout so good is that it blows most of your major muscle groups in such a short period ... when you start to feel the burn in your legs, arms, shoulders, etc. it is best to just slowing down and focusing on making each rep a quality one. It feels great to be able to get through this workout without stopping, and with the knowledge that ever single one of the 300 reps was a quality one!
