I would use the programs just as their titled: a challenge. A challenge is not a workout or a training session designed for long term success.Focus on Convict Conditioning (starting at step 1 for all exercises.follow the planned progressions) and every other week do the 300 Spartan Workout.
Record your time and try to beat it the next workout. Follow for 12 -16 weeks and see what results you create for yourself. My guess is that you will be more than happy if you stick to it.You could follow ETK PM or ROP and hit the 300 Kettlebell Challenge once every 2nd or 3rd week. Again, follow for 12 - 16 weeks.Strength is a skill. Practice it to improve. The same can be said about Flexibility, Mobility or Conditioning.
For a while I did the 300 kb challenge once / week. Very good program for conditioning and fat burn imo. Also it is a whole bunch of fun. It was, of course, not the only thing I did during that time.
But I forget what the rest was (iirc I was doing quite a bit of LIFT sandbagging at the time too).First time on it is the worst because you have no idea how to pace yourself for getting through the whole thing.Don't worry about it being called a challenge. It is a good workout with built in progression (ie. Time decrease and intensity increase).Some months ago I was actually doing a modified version of the 300 (other exercises, presses cut out pretty much) on one of my ROP variety days. Thanks for reminding me of this thing! It seems a perfect fun-day for my current schedule. I would use the programs just as their titled: a challenge.

I don't think Steve designed it as a challenge and I seem to recall him saying he did the workouts 2-3 times/week on top of BJJ practice (EDIT: Steve is of course a FREAK!).The thing is, for the month of April I will focus on endurance and conditioning.
I will have two running days but need something to fill the other three with and 300 seemed like a good idea and a fun change of pace to RoP which I've been doing lately.Last edited by Com. Stefan; at 04:43 AM.
Hi, I am from Australia and just moved to Lund. I saw your post and thought you might be the right person to tell me you can train with Kettlebells here?Any help greatly appreciated.ChrisWelcome to Sweden Kettlebill1. I don't quite live in Lund meself (Malmoe, soon studying in Lund though) and I can't really say if there is any gym that has kettlebells around but I have heard some rumors that one of the 24hr-fitness Spas was going to buy some. I'll ask around and see if such is the case.This is intriguing though. Seems to be a lot of kettlebellers gathering in Lund these days. Seems I need to look into having some sort of RKC classes there.
