    300 spartan training and diet?

    I've been reading the gym jones site and stuff on 300, and it really contradicts with traditional bodybuilding. They train hard as hell(and by that i don't mean 6 reps of heavy weight), their diets weren't anything close to bulking diets. It makes sense too, that lots of hard work beats a little heavy lifting and alot of resting and eating.

    I've been skeptical about traditional bodybuilding for a long time...Soccer players have huge calves and they didn't get them by lifting heavy weights and eating tons. Swimmers often have great physiques, and swimming is "just cardio" in the world of bodybuilding and isn't supposed to build muscle. Now the 300 training comes along, and these guys look like real warriors. I'm sure plenty of people on this site want to look like them. Except the few who actually want to look like pro bodybuilders. And they got there ALOT faster than "bodybuilders" who have similar physiques. So maybe the traditional approach is not what i should be doing?

    Thoughts on this? Also does anyone know where i can find more exact details on the 300 diet and training?

    edit: http://www.gymjones.com/knowledge.php that's the gym jones site, it contains articles on 300 and other stuff

    very well thought out statement

    im with you on this, i never really thought about it the way you just stated it.

    if you find out any information on their diet, and workout, or workouts i should say since they never did the same thing twice, let us know.

    well you see the thing about athletes is that they are train with weights too.
    im a football player but that doesn't mean im buff cause of football practice, im buff because i lift a lot of weight. and as for getting big faster its another story. you gotta work hard man likeHARD. i bet you think you work hard now but if you had a trainer pushing you nonstop i bet you would work harder. and really more work equals more gains. i dont believe in overtraining.

    Funny, I was wondering the exact same thing. Gerard Butler (King Leonidas) said that he never worked out and ate healthy before the film. He also said that he got rid of fat while also putting on muscle... I don't get it.

    it is possible to put muscle on and lose fat, just not at higher rates.

    the reason they got so ripped was because they did alot of cardio, that was also muscle training. like when you do bungie coards and running, helluva workout for legs if you ever played football or track, but also great for the heart and works your endurance.

    and they did upper body training as soon as they finished there cardio, lower body.

    which meant all their blood was in their legs, not up top, which forced them to work harder on their muscles.


    and this isnt even a dent of how they got to where theya re....id love to know everything.

    Gerard Butler didnt workout before during his career.. but he DID workout for the movie.. He clearly stated in an interview that he started preparing a year before the filming began. They did do a lot of cardio to become ripped, but they needed to build muslce mass. NO WAY could they have looked the way they did without building some muscle.

    Swimmers have a very skinny build.. Sure through all the swimming they do, they are bound to put on SOME mass.. but not much at all...

    Football players do lift.. Most of them are huge and believe me its not because of football practise.

    You have a good build (from what i can see in your avatar) Im suprised your knowledge about these certain things is kinda limited.

    Nah i know swimmers aren't HUGE and football players do lift as well, but if someone ONLY lifts he'll probably be smaller AND less cut than a football player who lifts and trains for football.

    What i'm saying is lots hard training pays off in losing fat as well as building muscle, and the guys playing the spartans are a clear example of that. Which is why i'm really curious to know their exact training and diet. I just know their diets weren't bulking diets.

    By the way i checked out the articles on mens health on gerard butler, and i've seen the 300 rep thing.

    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

    That isn't what they did for training though, it was more of a test/goal. On the gym jones site it says their training was different all the time, always changing, 3-5 days a week.

    I worked them out...i've done high rep stuff, low rep stuff(not knowing what's best). Weighted crunches, leg lifts, etc. Then i went on a serious cut(boxing or running every day for cardio, only veggies for carbs with exception of breakfast and around workout). How they look is genetic though, i think. Everyones abs look different.

    that workout is insane. i tried it a while back, i had to stop in the middle of box jumps cuz i was about to yak
    Hah that actually makes me want to give it a shot more, i like really intense stuff.

    King Leo is prob 6'2" + also so hes going to have a much larger frame than someone who is 5'6-5'10. Also hes prob like 35 years old man and I would argue that he has played some type of sport or does some type of activty throughout his youth and into his middle agedness. Old men with big frames can sometime be very strong without even having to work out in the gym 4 times a week.

    All the other spartans I can guarantee had a substantial amount of muscle from BB at least a year before the filming and even training for the movie.

    As far as abs go - abs you can work out very often they are sorta like calves. Combined with intense cardio and lots of core strength exercises and cut dieting your body fat is going to plumment and your abs will show. Since you can work abs pretty much every day if you have to (might not be best - aka overtraining) they are going to get very shreaded.

    Also remember, this film was created in a movie studio - I'm not saying that they werent jacked - but - computers can do fantastic things. They edit photos for playboy, cosmo, AF - why not 300? Again, im not saying they werent muscular but I'm sure they did a few touch ups here and there.

    I read on gym jones that they ate below their caloric needs to give the look that they were a ragged group of soldiers who lived off the land rather than plump.

    not true...i saw a program on television that shows before an after....lots of the spartans were chubby and had a large amount of fat....and they too managed great physiques.

    But they definitely made muscle gains and cut fat simultaneously, and if they ate below maintenance level(and burned alot through training), that means caloric excess is not necessary to build muscle, no? I remember reading that they did improve their lifts and pack on muscle, and the progress pictures i saw show more than just loss of fat.

    I just read that article on 300 from that website you gave us. They said they ate barely enough food for them to recover from their workouts, and all of them usually had a new workout everytime to keep their body's guessing.

    You can still have alot of muscle and be fat. Just burn off some of the fat(doesnt actually happen, muscle cells just shrink) and wham your going to have a more muscular body. Even if you dont actually put on any more muscle as long as you have muscles under your fat and you burn off your fat your going to look more jacked. Your skin will be tighter and your muscles will show through.

    Yes, but these guys did alot more than just lose fat. If these guys were all HUGE when coming in, yes, they would all just need to cut for a while. But they weren't all the same when coming in, some were fat while others needed MORE muscle, etc.

    I seem to recall reading somewhere a while back one of these guys added 100 pounds to their dead lift. Went from somewhere around 280 lbs to 380 lbs. Don't remember exactly what it was, or where I read it. But after what I have read, and seeing a few pictures. Some of these guys defiantly looked as if they put on muscle and increased their strength rather than just shaving off body fat to reveal what was already beneath.

It makes sense too, that lots of hard work beats a little heavy lifting and alot of resting and eating.

    I've been skeptical about traditional bodybuilding for a long time...Soccer players have huge calves and they didn't get them by lifting heavy weights and eating tons. Swimmers often have great physiques, and swimming is "just cardio" in the world of bodybuilding and isn't supposed to build muscle. Now the 300 training comes along, and these guys look like real warriors. I'm sure plenty of people on this site want to look like them. Except the few who actually want to look like pro bodybuilders. And they got there ALOT faster than "bodybuilders" who have similar physiques. So maybe the traditional approach is not what i should be doing?

    Thoughts on this? Also does anyone know where i can find more exact details on the 300 diet and training?

    edit: http://www.gymjones.com/knowledge.php that's the gym jones site, it contains articles on 300 and other stuff


    I'd like to see a spartan trying to do a 3x deadlift... They look athletic, yes, but not terribly strong.

    This reminds me of Bruce Lee's training. This guy would wake up at 7:00am, run for almost 8-10 miles. Then do strength training whether it'd be weights, bag, or any other conditioning he does. Then he'd spar, box, and just practice over and over again until literally 12:00pm. He would train 5hours each day, along w/ the movies and teaching that he did. Not to mention the fact that his diet was definitely not that of a BBer's and he would eat traditional Chinese food. Once he studied nutrition he ate more veggies and actually started eating protein shakes/supplements also. It just goes to show that molds were meant to be broken, and certain norms arent always right.

    Wink hmmmm....

    Along with the training they've done I wouldn't be surprised if there was a little test, tren, winstrol, and some t3 involved. And for those actors over 30 its pretty easy to get a script for test these days. High protien/low fat/ and some carb cycling and there you go!
