I did the 200 rep version today (in 10 1/2 minutes) and I think I understand now why the 300 is such a ballyhooed workout. It's not an exercise of strength, per se-- it's one of endurance. I did 17 pull-ups to start the thing off in one set with little difficulty. I could only squeeze out 10 at the end before I had to stop, take a few breaths, and crank out the last seven.
I have also gained a newfound respect for dead lifts. Once upon a time, I shrugged them off as the inferior little sibling of squats and cleans. I have since changed my mind.
