Thread: The iron challenges!

Just for a bit of fun and to give adam and josh something to fight about lol here is a place to lay down challenges to the other members of the brotherhood.

the first being the original 300 rep workout. this is bad ass. oh and you have to complete it in under 20 mins. the workout is as follows.

Pull ups x25
floor sweepers x50 / 40kg barbell
Deadlifts 60kg x50
Kettlebell clean and jerk 15kg x50
pressups x50
24" box jumps x 50
pull ups x25

its supposed to be the ultimate cutting tool. i used it for two months and got good results. yes i was fatter than my first pics at one point lol. i never managed to get it under 20 mins tho.

what are floor sweepers. i dont think i can jump on a box that high lol.

If I admit to not being able to do half of that list, will I get kicked out the Brotherhood? haha
Pull-ups...have to be assisted LOL and if I did 50 x 60kg dead-lifts, I would be spending the rest of the 20 minutes in the back of an Ambulance!

This was created as more of a test than a workout - check the Gym Jones site for details.

Either way it's an interesting first challenge! Might have a crack at it in a week or two.

floor sweepers are when you lay on the floor holding a barbell out in front of you. then lift your legs to touch one end of the bar then back down then up to the opposite side then down again. thats one rep repeat 50 times.
i have done the workout but it took like an hour and some serious rest between sets.

oh weights are optional so go lighter if you need to.

So wud u just do this as just a 1 off then? I need sumfin like this really i hardly ever change my routine, i just swap the exercises n the order i do them in! And i can only do about 10-12 chin ups n probly wont manage 50 press ups, do u just carry on til u get there? Floor sweepers luk fun!

doesnt matter how many sets it takes to get there. The point is to do it faster each time you do it. when i first looked at doing it it took me like 7 sets and like 20 mins just to finish the pullups lol its all about setting a standard and trying to smash it. oh and floorsweepers are lethal. but box jumps are worse lol.
