That’s it? you didn’t say “repeat”. Firstly I’d say do that at at least 2x unless you’re a beginner. This is good for getting ripped and having lean muscle. But will not initiate much muscle growth, and will only slightly increase strength. Therefore it is good to mix into your workouts if you are going for a true bodybuilder look.

If it doesn’t cause hypertrophy…and barely increases strength, why is it good to mix in for a bodybuilding look?
If this kind of stuff caused muscle growth then men in the armed services would all be jacked after boot camp from all of the pt.

Fixed that for you.

The second misconception surrounds the idea of the Spartan workout, aka “300”, how frequently it was done or who actually finished it. “300” is a one-time test, an invitation-only challenge undertaken by those deemed ready for it. By the end of our four-month project 17 people had done the workout (Logan and I were two of them). This constitutes about 50% of the cast and stunt crew. We supervised every test, evaluated each rep for quality and only counted those that achieved our standards for form and range of motion. Like many workouts “300” is not hard once you’ve done it but the apprehension built up ahead of it - something we encouraged - was enough to make some guys fear it to the degree that performance was compromised. This workout was a crucible that some passed through and others still have hanging over them.

There is nothing I hate more than finishing an AWESOME workout, only to realize that I was working on my flabby muscles instead of my lean ones… Oh well, live and learn.
OP…not sure what your fascination with Gerard Butler is all about, but Mark Twight of Gym Jones was in charge of getting the actors “in shape” for the movie.
In various interviews that Twight has done since the movie, he has stated repeatedly that the “300” workout was a one time challenge…it was never intended to be a daily or every-other-day workout, as some people made it into.
As a matter of fact, Twight has also stated that he wants to cry when he sees some of the retarded variations of “300” that people and magazines have come up with. He doesn’t understand people’s fascination with that one workout, when he’s trying to promote a whole different level of fitness.
Gerard Butler trained with the rest of the crew…he didn’t have his own workout. The Gym Jones program is similar to Crossfit, but I would say it focuses on longer work capacity efforts. (Or metabolic conditioning, if you prefer that term.)
Twight acknowledged that he did two things to make the actors look bigger. (Note he didn’t say he “made them bigger”…he said he made them “look” bigger.) Number one, he put them all on EXTREMELY STRICT, LOW CALORIE DIETS. They were punished as a group if actors cheated on the diets. Number two, they did high volume circuits with a lot of different exercises and tools…essentially long Crossfit style workouts.
So…there you have it. He took a bunch of guys, and basically turned them into Abercrombie & Fitch models by sweating the fat off of them and starving them at the same time.
If you think Gerard Butler was actually a huge, brawny guy in that movie, then you probably also think the fat guy with the saw blades for hands was real, too…

Actually Butler has stated while he did workout with the crew he also worked out with his own trainer and basically killed himself. That’s probably why he rebounded so quickly and put in a fuck load of weight.

To finish it as fast as possible.

No. I’d try it once in a blue moon just to see how quickly I can do it, but would never put it regularly in a workout program. It would get boring. It lacks any kind of structured progression, and I’m pretty sure you’d get injured if you tried this too often.

It would get just about anyone huffing and puffing, but we all know how shitty you feel after a workout is not necessarily the best indicator of its effectiveness. This just seems arbitrary and has no place in any long term conditioning program.
Have you tried it yet?
