Can you handle it?

-The actors in the movie 300 really had those nice ripped bodies- nothing digitally enhanced. I just thought this was pretty cool, and all the guys at my work are trying to do this right now, lol.

The 300 Workout
The workout gets its name from the total number of repetitions. But those 300 reps weren't done daily, as some media accounts report, Twight says. Rather, the 300 workout was the finale of months of training, a kind of graduation test, after actors had weight lifted and trained with tools such as medicine balls and Kettlebells (cast iron weights with handles).

It's daunting, and includes these weight-training moves:

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 -- for a total of 300 reps
There's no rest between movements and the score is based on total time, Twight says.

I'm getting sore just reading that. I may have to see what I can do now and train for it. If I pull it off I'll treat myself by buying a shield and spear. :laugh:
