Almost 20 years ago, I tried the infamous “300 Workout,” created by trainer Mark Twight for the cast of the movie 300.

It was brutal.

But it was also one of those workouts that challenged you as much mentally as physically.

Here’s the original workout:

Complete the following as fast as possible:

  • 25 Pull-Ups
  • 50 Deadlifts — 135 lbs
  • 50 Push-Ups
  • 50 Box Jumps — 24″
  • 50 Floor Wipers — 135 lbs
  • 50 Kettlebell Clean-and-Presses — 25 per arm
  • 25 Pull-Ups

300 total reps.

Obviously, that workout requires quite a bit of equipment and is very demanding.

So I came up with my own at-home, kettlebell-friendly version:

Complete the following as fast as possible:

  • 25 Single-Arm KB Rows — 2 sets of 12-14 per arm
  • 50 KB Swings
  • 50 Push-Ups — 3 sets of 15-20
  • 50 Squat Jumps
  • 50 Cross-Body Mountain Climbers — 3 sets of 15-20 per side
  • 50 KB Clean-and-Presses — 25 per arm
  • 25 Single-Arm KB Rows — 2 sets of 12-14 per arm

Give it a shot and see how you do.

Break the reps into manageable sets, rest when needed, and focus on good technique.

And if you like this style of training, today’s Fall Training Stock-Up Sale deal is the entirely new, rebuilt-for-2026 version of my 300 Kettlebell Challenge.

It takes the basic idea behind high-rep challenge workouts like this and turns it into a complete 28-day training system you can actually follow.

But the special price is only good through tonight.

After that, the price goes back up and we move on to the next program.

PS – You don’t need to be able to crush all 300 reps straight through to get started.

Scale the workout appropriately, use a weight you can control, and stop if your form starts to break down.

The point is to challenge yourself — not destroy yourself.

And if you want the complete 28-day system, today is your chance to grab the newest version at the lowest price I’m offering:
