300

Unless you've been living in a cave, or have your head buried in the sand, you know that the movie "300" is opening this weekend. The movie is based on Frank Miller's graphic novel (don't say comic book) adaptation of Steven Pressfield's book "Gates of Fire". Frank Miller also wrote the graphic novels which inspired Sin City, in case you're wondering. You can check out one of the funniest reviews I've ever read for a movie here (warning, this review contains "adult language"): http://www.aintitcool.com/node/31520

Anyway, the actors were training with Gym Jones for this movie and a recent article shared one of their workouts. Here's the article if you're interested: http://www.gymjones.com/knowledge.php?id=35

So, we grabbed the workout from the article, adapted it to what we have in the gym and went at it today:

300

Pull-ups x 25

1 Leg Deads x 50 (25 each leg)

Burpees x 50

Tire Jumps x 50

KB Atomic Sit-ups x 50

KB Clean and Press x 50

Pull-ups x 50

It was a pretty motivating workout and I hope that when we go see 300 tomorrow, the guys don't have some sort of assassination plot ready for me!

Keep training hard,

SCRAPPER
