the 300's workout..what did you do?

[the GUNSHOW]

well today I did my 1st 300's workout is was hard! I did it in 34min
I dont know if that's good or not but it killed me.. so what time did you all get?/did you like it?

[SilentBob187]

I think sub-20 minutes is where some of the guys in the movie got to. 34 minutes isn't bad at all though. Just doing the work is a chore in itself. The time is just icing on the cake. I think when I was doing it I was in the low 30s as well.

[the GUNSHOW]

well I really like this workout I think it will help me with my MMA..today I had my workout partner for this one and it was only my 2int time to do the 300's but I got it over with in 25min but for the life of me I cant beat him he got done in 24min but I dont feel bad
he is 6ft1" 198lb and a marine so I think I did good....by the end of the 10weeks I would like to be in the 20/19min range

You do realize that this was a one time "test" all the actors involved did, and wast meant to be done repeatedly over and over again, every time you w/o. Or are you just doing it every couple weeks or so, to mix things up and challenge yourself?

[the GUNSHOW]

no I did not know that, my trainer said we are doing it 2X a week 6 to 10 week I say 6 to 10 b/c we some times find some thing new to do before the workout is over. but we are going to be doing this 2X a week and on the other days we do other things.

[brk_nemesis]

If you can do it w/o overtraining and see results, by all means, good luck.

But the original 300 w/o was simply a test that all the actors and I believe the guys who trained them as well, all completed at the end of the training, to gauge how far they have come, right before shooting the film. Much of their workout had to do with the power lifts, poly metrics, and strongman lifts, including bungee cord runs, tire flips, and that sort of stuff.

hmmm I did not know that..but it is helping my MMA I can fight for a longer time now

Anybody got a link to the W/O?

I'm tempted to try it out.....I caught some of it on "the making of", but never knew there was an actual routine for us non-spartans to try

Well, it is supposed to be based on how fast you get all that done, without resting. It probably looks quite intimidating to "beginners," but I will agree it doesn't look that hard. But then again, the few people I know that have done it, simply b/c of the movie, were all individuals that were not experienced lifters.

[the GUNSHOW]

if you do it on your own time it's not that bad but you try to do it fast

[tnubs]

I did it in higher 30's. Then puked. I won't do it again unless I take my time with it. D*mn lactic acid is a b*tch.
