Workout Routine Expert Craig Ballantyne does the 300 Workout

Craig writes:

CB does the Mens Health 300 movie workout    

Today I did the 300 movie workout from the March issue of Mens Health.

Its a challenging 300 repetition workout put together by a trainer for the lead actor in the 300 movie. Actors name was gerard butler I think.

This isn’t how they did their workouts…it was just a test of his strength-endurance.

Here’s the workout…all exercises are done without rest. Just go, go, go.

Pullups – 25
Deadlifts with 135lbs – 50
Pushups – 50
24-inch Box jumps – 50
Floor wipers – 50
1-arm 36lbs Kettlebell Clean n Press – 50 reps
Pullups – 25

Butler’s time was 18:11.

Remember, he didn’t practice this workout…and neither did I.

My time: 19:07

My butt was kicked by a hollywood actor.

And I don’t plan on doing that any time soon, or really, ever again.

Fortunately, my gym has all the equipment needed. Yours might not.

(Although we only had 44 and 30 pound kb’s – so I did 20 reps with the 44’s and 30 reps with the 30 pound kb’s)

Also, this obviously an advanced workout…you shouldn’t do it unless you are as fit as a college athlete.

Fortunately, this can easily be changed. Appropriate exercises should be subbed in, and you should drop down to 100 total reps – or as .: recommends – 4-6 exercises of 15-25 reps each.

    You’re mistaken, Gerard Butler never did the ‘300’ workout.

    Hey, i started trying to get big in the gym about 6 months ago, i noticed a slight change in my size but nothing to get excited about, would doing these type of exercises get me to the size of the blokes in the film? and have you got any before and after images to show us? that would be interesting!
