It is a good workout. I'm 80 kilos and my best 1RM bench is 160 so I feel like I've got some decent strength and ability in the gym but this workout kicked my butt and then laughed at me.
for all the critics saying the 300 workout is lame or ineffective. go ahead and try doing squats, pullups, pushups, deadlifts, floor wipers (or ab work) with no rest in between. super set everything. tell me how you feel. i'll have the puke bucket ready. its a great way to build muscle and lose fat without doing any cardio. and thats the point. build as much muscle as fast as possible with the least amount of fat. the 300 workout is great for building muscle and burning fat.
dude the workout is somewhere online.. you can download it and folow it, but you better already be in good shape, it doesnt start out at the begining.
@nickfromdtown1992 i'm no expert but i always thought 100% should be about normal for most people. You "should" be able to lift your own body weight. maybe 85% for people who cant?
A lot of the muscularity and definiton is CGI--that is in the director's journal. I feel sorry for the people that go out and buy acai berry. Stanozol/Winstrol , Deca and Dianabol were probably used liberally, as well.
It was not CGI -.-. The only special effects used regarding their physiques was adding a good layer of oil and dirt, similar to how a bodybuilder would apply oil before a contest. Couple this with controlled lighting on the set, and voila you have it.
Also LOL, why does everyone cling to the hope that they used steroids. What don't you all get about this? Most of the guys came in already in shape, all gym jones did is drop their bodyfat down to sub 8% levels.
@dmnddwg. nope. i watched the special features. its not in there. one of the guitarists in a band from my city was a stand in. he looked just like he did in the movie. its not cgi.
the don't mention that the actors got so bit because they took supplements using a brazilian acai berry called absoluteacaiberry. It increases metabolism and makes you burn calories at an alarming rate, no proven side effects.
Doesnt this "fuck up" your back ? who would want to look "cut" and walk around in utter pain ? or wheelchair.... (" hey everybody, check out my abs, and wheels" )
i agree, the actors were already in shape before the movie and this work out all it did was to rip them a little more and that's it. the rest was camera angles and air brush...make up..ect..
Yeh - but it depends what you want to work more on lower or upper abs - lower abs is better is you slightly bend the legs and raise your ass off the floor and touch the plates not just get near them. he is doing a side to side motion - more for obliques than a pure up/down motion better for lower abs strength & core. You have to go past 20 to get an awesome burn. There is no point to this low side to to side twist - you are better off with russian twists for obliques than this one.
my bad man for atacking you like that, you're right about the ab activation in deads, but I still stand behind that deadlifts hit your lower back and legs and I won't believe you maxed the hs crunch with 200 pounds on your chest until I see it.
Well it's not from the deadlifts, because deadlifts are purely a lower back and leg exercise they might have a little bit of ab involvement, but not much.
The record by an actor was 18:11? Am I correct? I'm preparing to smoke it. I'm going to attempt the whole thing tomorrow and see where I stand. Train for it for about 2 weeks, and then hit it again.
For building pure strength, one would isolate more than doing compound movements. Compound movements are great for metcon and to stimulate the body hormone wise. Personally, I found holding the weight was far more difficult than doing the leg wipers.
Your an idiot. Compound movements build more strength than isolation. Example a body builder would do more isolation movements. A Power Lifter would do more compound movements.
lol just another trendy workout. i love people who defend gym jones principles so blindly by just regurgitating his statements with no real grasp of actual physiology. his pre-exhuast lower/upper approaches are counter-productive more than anything. any real strength/conditioning coach will tell u same. look at who Twight has trained, and his own resume rofl. his only expertise is in climbing
No offence to anyone who does them, but there is a lot of redundancy in the exercise. If it's an abdominal exercise, then what's the fuckin' point of the barbell? If it's a chest exercise, then what's the fuckin' point of the abdominal movement?
You can do better with dumbbells for a chest exercise and with hanging leg raises for an abdominal exercise.
who says you will get hurt doing this, you know your not supposed to start at 135 pounds right? start at a lower weight then work your way up over time
wow, anyone who says these arent hard as shit is a total retard. the fact that you are sustaining a static hold of 135 pounds while shredding your core is the secret behind this exercise. the blood rushing to your arms while holding the barbell provides less for your abs/legs to work with, thus making it harder
the heels of the foots never touch'es the floor. It's a constant work for the different pasts of the abs during the entire exercise. The barbell hold is used only to keep the upper body fixed.
The static hold of the barbell forces the upper body to balance as the lower body twists. I challenge anyone to try and do a set of 50 of these fuckin' things and then tell me your whole abdominal wall is not sore.
It makes sense I guess though, if you're going to spend time doing leg raises you could have more full-body load by doing something with your arms at the same time. A static hold's good because unlike something isotonic it wouldn't distract focus from the leg raising.
I don't understand the point of this exercise. It's a static barbell hold (which is all well and good) with some leg raises.
Combining exercises is interesting and it saves time I guess but there's not exactly anything unique about this, it's not as if this actually works your abs harder. There's no reason to think that.
Pikey, I don't think you really quite grasp how much these workouts actually get the person in SHAPE. Not simply making their abs look nice. Those in Gym Jones are highly committed individuals that are in extreme shape, perhaps some of the best in the world.
Also, it's not about 'coming up' with anything. They are innovative because they use tested and applied methods and have developed training programs for maximum performance and efficiency of the body.
Who are Gym Jones and what is Xfit? I rather have abs the way of Brad Pitt than those from 300. In 300 you can easily see the make up on their bellies.
Gym Jones are the guys who were responsible for training the actors and stuntmen for 300. CrossFit is (in my limited knowledge) both a gym and a training method. There are commonalities between the Gym Jones and CrossFit workouts. I'm not knowledgeable enough to say who came up with what, and frankly, I don't care.
Finally, with or without makeup, the 300 cast was in great shape. Even the director went through the training regimen.
Thanks frog. Lookit, 300 cast is shure big, but nothing out of this world. It looks so flashy because is not ordinary to see 50 guys almost naked in good shape, unless you are a football player. But I would definitely not go for the 300 routine, only the floorwipers perhaps.

first of all it is not a benchpress exercise. The barbell is keeping your body in the right position, so you can't cheat.
Your triceps are working hard to keep the barbell up. and the weights on the barbell are some sort of guideline for your feet.

Combining exercises is interesting and it saves time I guess but there's not exactly anything unique about this, it's not as if this actually works your abs harder. There's no reason to think that.

Pikey, I don't think you really quite grasp how much these workouts actually get the person in SHAPE. Not simply making their abs look nice. Those in Gym Jones are highly committed individuals that are in extreme shape, perhaps some of the best in the world.
Also, it's not about 'coming up' with anything. They are innovative because they use tested and applied methods and have developed training programs for maximum performance and efficiency of the body.

In Gym Jones' defense, these guys use what works. And it does.

Who are Gym Jones and what is Xfit? I rather have abs the way of Brad Pitt than those from 300. In 300 you can easily see the make up on their bellies.

Gym Jones are the guys who were responsible for training the actors and stuntmen for 300. CrossFit is (in my limited knowledge) both a gym and a training method. There are commonalities between the Gym Jones and CrossFit workouts. I'm not knowledgeable enough to say who came up with what, and frankly, I don't care.
Finally, with or without makeup, the 300 cast was in great shape. Even the director went through the training regimen.

Thanks frog. Lookit, 300 cast is shure big, but nothing out of this world. It looks so flashy because is not ordinary to see 50 guys almost naked in good shape, unless you are a football player. But I would definitely not go for the 300 routine, only the floorwipers perhaps.
