If you have watched 300 last weekend and came out of the theatre feeling out of shape or fat your not alone! The Sparta warriors looked unreal! There were no special effects or touch ups; all real muscle. If you’re wondering what kind of training was needed to look like a true Spartan Warrior
Below is the “Test” that each stunt\crew member aim to complete. Only 50% were able to…

“300”
25x Pull-up +
50x Deadlift @ 135# +
50x Push-up +
50x Box Jump @ 24” box +
50x Floor Wiper @ 135# (one-count) +
50x KB Clean and Press @ 36# (KB must touch floor between reps) +
25x Pull-up
300 reps total

Check out a short clip on some of the training
