The “300” workouts

Are you ready for a program that gives you 300 reps per workout!!!

Below are 10 different workouts that force you to complete 300 reps every session.

Each workout has 2 rounds of 3 exercises (Mortal Kombat style). You will be forming Tri-sets 5 times in round 1 and twice in round 2.

Instructions:

  • Round 1 - Perform 3 lifts back-to-back-to-back, completing 10 reps for each exercise. Rest and repeat 5 times! This will total 150 reps.

  • Round 2 - Perform 3 exercises back-to-back-to-back for only 2 cycles, but with 25 reps each cycle for another 150 total reps.

Character Trait Trained:

Courage

"What we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn't think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know." — Arnold Schwarzenegger.


Lifting Lingo in this workout:

  • The Tri-Set Defined: Three exercises performed back-to-back-to-back with zero rest.

  • The Giant Set Defined: Four or more exercises performed back-to-back-to-back with zero rest.

The Goal: Total Hypertrophy. By hitting the muscle from multiple different angles in a single set, we ensure maximum fiber recruitment and metabolic stress.

Technical Note:

  • Single-Sided Exercises: When performing movements for one side at a time (like Jefferson Rows or Bulgarian Split-Squats), you must complete the reps for both the Right and Left sides to count as 1 full rep on your log.
