Thread: Exercise for Men: The 300 Workout

We've all seen the movie 300 and did you ever wonder who those guys got their 6 pack abs and macho bodies? Well, here's how they did it.

The actors and stuntmen was whipped into shape for 8-12 weeks. The 300 Workout means 300 repetitions and this was how it was broken down:

25 pull-ups

50 deadlifts at 135 pounds

50 push-ups

50 box jumps with a 24-inch box

50 "floor wipers" (a core and shoulders exercise at 135 pounds)

50 "clean and press" at 36 pounds (a weight-lifting exercise)

25 more pull-ups

What's more, there are no rest between these movements. For the actors and stuntmen, they were required 90 mins - 2hrs a day, 5 days a week of training plus fight training.


This workout is obviously too intense and not everybody can do this. At least we know it works right?

Ouch! These routine looks really painful. Oh well, no pain, no gain right? They did have a perfect macho body.

I think after that movie, every man want to have a body just like them.. lol.. Looking that their workout, I'm not surprised why they had such a good looking body.. especially the abs..
