So I guess what its saying is your doing 300 reps per workout? If that right I say this is garbage. Of course depending on your goals? If your goals are things such as lbm, power, strength, then doing 300 reps is way out there. If you are doing 300 reps with like 25% of your 1rm and simply doing it for cardio reasons then ok, if you like, but I wouldnt waste my time. But thats just my opinion.

I have not, hence the question: "What is it?".

Write your own program out that suits your needs. Dont do something that is by another template.

Either way, it's the reason Butler enlisted the help of Mark Twight, a former world-class mountain climber who, based on personal experience, believes in training as if your life depends on it. In fact, Twight would argue that a good workout should make you feel almost queasy upon hearing what lies ahead. For example, to hasten Butler's mind-body transformation, he created what he calls the "300-rep Spartan workout." (Trust us, 100 reps is plenty hard.) (*2) It goes like this: Without resting between exercises, Butler performs 25 pullups, 50 deadlifts with 135 pounds, 50 pushups, 50 jumps on a 24-inch box, 50 floor wipers (*3), 50 single-arm clean-and-presses using a 36-pound kettle bell, and 25 more pullups. All this, in addition to utilizing other unconventional yet equally taxing training methods, such as tire flipping and gymnastics-style ring training. Sound like hell? It is. In fact, upon receiving his marching orders for a Spartan workout, one of Butler's costars told Twight, "It feels like you just killed my dog."
looks intense. Seems it was ...

Quote:
Of course, the downside to an extreme transformation is just that -- it's extreme. Case in point: During production, Butler would often train with Twight, train with LiCastro, and then do his sword-and-shield work for hours on end. As a result, every joint in his 6'2'' body ached by the time he set down his shield for the last time. And at some point along the way, he became overtrained, a state in which the stress of training has surpassed the body's ability to recover fully from it. (*4) As a result, once filming wrapped, Butler stopped working out as abruptly as he'd started. Understandably, his body -- and mind -- needed a break. But the upshot was that his no-holds-barred training regimen turned into an equally hard-to-shake layoff, one that would last 8 months. Neither approach is healthy long term.

I do dropsets of each excercise that goes 12-8-6 in my push/pull/legs routine. I typically do five different excercises and then cardio. So thats 5 excerises x 26 reps per excercise = 130 total reps.

I agree the 300 workout seems like more of an endurance or overall conditioning. Reminds me of high school football workouts.



I do my best to focus on the task at hand, and give 100% in what I'm doing at the time. Nothing else matters except the task at hand.

I think it's safe to assume these guys were on testosterone while they were overtraining for 8 months.

I'm sure even P-funk agrees with this assessment.

Actually now that I think about it...

They were probably on an 8 month log cycle of mutiple compounds.


And they aren't including his hypertrophy training. You don't get that big with 135, or bodyweight pullups.

“300”
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



Thought that was interesting. I am not a fan of taking a simple template and running with it. You have to make adjustments that fit your goals. And by saying I want to do the 300 program I think is kinda silly.

I could do the 300 program minus the 25 pullups at the end and beggining. I could maybe get 20 chins BW, fuck 25 "pullups."

The rest is easy.

I think it would definitly test your endurance, but for strength and hypertrophy I highly doubt it will do anything for that.

So, in closing, the only way these guys could have gotten that big was by doing high doses of test, maybe some HGH.

If the t.v. adds 15 lbs and you come in lean, it is all an illusion.
I heard they photoshoped a guys abs in frame by frame on The 300.
With photoshop, you need no gear.

I love that... What exactly is the point of deadlifting blindfolded? Is that supposed to make it harder or more effective?

Well the clearly state they never did the same workout twice, so that was either just a test as stated in the article or just one of the workouts they did.

What is the difference between a chin up and a pullup?
