We finally got around to watching the movie, "300", last night. It was pretty good, quite entertaining. Very inspiring to train hard. If you don't have time to watch the 2 hour 300 movie, check out the 90 second 300 workout here
And here's a question I get all the time...about the story behind my involvement with the 300:
Q: did you come up with "the 300 workout" or was that something you got from somewhere else. Also, how often would a person do that? It seems to me that a person would train for all the parts of it, then attempt a PB of the 300 workout once a month, or once a week or something like that.
Answer:
I had nothing to do with the development of the workout.
This workout was designed by a trainer, Mark Twight, who worked with actors from the movie.
The workout was featured in Men's Health magazine, however they didn't put photos of the exercises in the magazine, so I did a video of the exercises, which we also uploaded to youtube and got 200K views so far.
But its not my workout. Although I gave it a try.
You are right, something that should only be done once in a while as a challenge. Kind of like running a marathon. You shouldn't do it every week but you can train for it every workout.
It should be something you get psyched up to do, like a powerlifting meet.
It doesn't mean you can't train hard in prep for it, it just means don't do the same 300 workout three days a week.
I think I've said that enough now, if you choose to disregard what I say, well...,
