Who wants to be like the 300 Spartans?

Today's your lucky day

In the video on this page, is a peak at the workout which the actors of Frank Miller's 300 were put through, prior to the shooting of the movie

Yeah I saw this, looks intense, but one of the guys isn't holding the bar straight when he's lifting the weight over his head

 

[Woodt]

Ha, I reckon it was a doss really. I mean getting that big, it's easy.

 

[Starcraftmazter]

What's a "doss" ?

 

[evolution]

Soooo...I take it were over Brad Pitt in Fight Club and now are wanting to looking like Spartans?

 

[Streamline]

From i've seen there it looks pretty sweet, i wouldn't mind givn' that shi t a go, although i wouldn't last day.

This training looks pretty hard, but if your goals are hypertrophy, there are more effective ways to go about it.

These guys probably did this type of training primarilly for street cred. This method of training also got them to channel their "inner-warriors" more effectively, as some article I read stated.

 

[ShaftedTwice]

I don't believe it. All special effects.

 

[Starcraftmazter]

LOL Shafted, I'm sure it's not ALL fake. The workouts do look quite effective methinks. And a lot of actors do this type of thing nowdays.

PS. I've never actually watched Fight Club, why does everyone always mention it

And what if you're a guy

 

[Karky]

because it was actually quite a good movie. You should see it, theres a suprise at the end.

Read Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde first though.

If you consider the skinny Abercrombie models hawt I guess so. What I wonder is why doesn't anyone mention his physique when he was in Troy when he was actually carrying a bit of muscle rather than in FC where he prob weighed 130 lbs soaking wet.

 

[LeiYunFat]

It was all attitude.

SCM, it was effective in that it made these guys special and distinguished from the crowd of actors that curl and bench their way to movie roles. Hence, the "street cred". If you're looking to just build muscle, there are other, more effective ways of getting there.

The actual 300 workout, the one with 300 reps of different compound excercises, wasnt meant as a workout though, it was actually a test that they did at the end to see how fast each person could get through it. The record for the cast was 18 mins i think.

The rest of the training they showed in the video looks pretty intenese though

 

[ShaftedTwice]

That'd be funny if they were all really like 120lbs but computer generated to what they looked like in the movie.

I can picture a bunch of nerds huddled shouting "for sparta!"

Truly comical - isn't it?

 

[Woodt]

In athletics at school some kids totally took the piss by shouting "This is Sparta" while throwing javelins. It was hilarious to watch.

 

[Starcraftmazter]

LOL!!!!

That movie is totally revolutionising the world >_>
