300 Challenge Workout Using Heavy Dumbbells…by Brad Campbell

Challenge workouts rock because the competition – even though it’s only against yourself – really forces you to work a lot harder than you otherwise might.  If you’re having a hard time getting to the right intensity level in some of these workouts, I think you’ll find that by adding a challenge, you’ll be able to step up your game and really go balls to the wall (sorry for the expression).

You’ve probably already tried the 300 workout or the body weight 300 challenge I listed on that same blog post.  Both of those are tough, but this 300 challenge workout with heavy dumbbells really takes it to another level of difficulty.

Using heavy weights with compound movements, for extremely high reps, you’ll be throwing total madness at your body.  This leads to substantial spikes in metabolic rate and much more efficient and prolonged fat-burning over the next few days.

Just to give you an idea…I was using 45-lb dumbbells throughout this challenge workout.  Most girls should try and shoot for starting out with 20 or 25-lb dumbbells and most guys will want to try starting with 40-lb dumbbells or so.  You shouldn’t be able to get all 50 reps of any exercise straight through – if you can, you need to increase the weight you’re using.

Make sure and wear a stopwatch during the workout.  Start the timer with the very first rep and don’t stop it until you’ve completed all 300 reps.  Record the date you completed the workout, along with your time total time.  That way when you repeat this challenge routine, you’ll have a little friendly competition with yourself to see if you can beat your previous time.

If you continue to improve upon your total time, then you’re getting in better shape and your body will be forced to burn more fat, build extra lean muscle and look more and more ripped.  This will take you a little longer than the typical 8-15 minute workouts and it’ll require even more heart to get through it with  a decent time.

I think this is probably the most lactic acid I’ve felt during the filming of any of these workouts so far.  This challenge routine is the real deal.  Get your heavy dumbbells and a stopwatch and let’s see what you can do.  Go ahead and leave your times in the comments section, along with any stories you might have about the workout.  Use this a maximum of once every 2 weeks, since it’s hella hard.
