Its not my workout, and I don't know a lot about the background, but the gist of it is Gerard Butler (of 300) did this workout where he would do 300 reps.
Its kind of a neat idea because you could tailor it to fit your needs.
Here is an example of something I might do
50 Clean Pulls
50 Snatch Pulls
50 Overhead Presses
50 Fron't Squats
50 Back Squat
50 Incline Presses
You do this with minimal rest. I think it's more important to do the reps than to do a heavier weight. You would be suprised doing all that with just the bar with no rest would be excruciatingly challenging for most.
So you do this the first time with no weight and say you knock it out in 12 minutes. Well next time you try to up the intensity and try and keep cutting time off of it till you get to a point where you might want to add 10-20 lbs and then you do it agian get your time and keep cutting the time down.
For some who don't know Crossfit is a workout system designed for active people who don't have a lot of time. It also was influenced by Navy seals to some degree to create "usable" strength and functionability. Each day they post a workout and it explains it. here is the link

They also have some pretty motivating video's on youtube. It's impressive to see some of these chicks get down and dirty with weight and really get after it. (kinda sexy)
