The movie, 300, gained much attention beyond the just film story
because of the ripped bodies of the actors.
Their workout became very popular and is called the Spartan 300
workout. The actors got themselves
ripped and sculpted by doing these grueling workouts. They performed 50 reps each of six different
exercises with no break between sets, for a total of 300 reps. They constantly used variety in their exercise
movements.
Sample workouts:
• Pullups - 25 reps
• Barbell Deadlift with 135 lbs. - 50 reps

Stay tuned…………..
I tried the Spartan 300 workout. WOW - amazing amazing. I felt it in every muscle in my body (in a good way). I was not able to do all 300 reps without pause. I completed all 300 but when I started losing form, I would pause and then hit through rest of them. Some moves I had to take multiple pauses. Great workout !!!! Look forward to adding to my routine once a week.
