The 300 workout
This is the workout the actors from "300" had to go through. No machines, no expensive equipment. Just old-school brutal force to build muscles and cut fat in record time. A training aimed at real strength and performance, not even close to the "pussies" bodybuilding. The looks came as a by-product. Quality above quantity: a true bodytweaker spirit!

Few key notes:
- The workout was designed to create strength and power the actors would need to BE real spartan warriors.
- No muscle group concentration: no curls, no extensions, no any of the crap you will be taught in an average gym. Through full-body exercises your neuromuscular system is taught to use all muscles together as teamplayers for real-world tasks.
- Dymanic training. No workout was like the other. New exercises, variations and combinations kept the muscles stimulated.
