"300 FY"
OPT big Dawg
Why is it called “300 FY”? First, FY means fuck you. And it’s named so because there are a bunch of videos on YouTube showing so called “Spartan training” or “a variation on the 300 Spartan workout”. Some were funny (the one using Thera-Bands made me spit coffee on the keyboard). Another made me wonder if its protagonist preferred what he was doing to working out. But most of the videos made me genuinely sad because they show the margin by which most people have missed the point – and I honestly wish they hadn’t. “300 FY” is simple, and there’s no way to cheat it or modify it. Some AirDynes may be more efficient than others but not too different. How do you do the workout? Saddle up, set the countdown timer for ten minutes, come out of the gate hard, and hold on. If you finish with 300 or more you have done the workout. If you finish with 299 calories you have not done it. No scaling, no changes. It cannot be dragged down to a more easily attainable level. Do what is written: just like the original “300” workout, which was composed as a one-time test, and taken without rehearsal or practice. Gym Jones

no air dyne sub'ed rowing

168 Cals

Tried to keep a 30 cal per minute pace, but that lasted about 2 and a half minutes. Great work out I would like to try it again when i get a air dyne.

A: 195 felt good
B: 25,35,533
C: 3:12

Where I'm at: Strength feels pretty good right now but that has never my weak spot, muscle endurance and body weight movements are my Achilles right now. I have great improvements in the last month and a half but still not were I want to be yet. I think I'm about 1 to 2 months out from being really competitive, but right now if pistols or HSPU came up in a WOD then I would be in trouble.
