300 The Movie WallpaperEver wondered how those guys in the movie 300 got so unbelieveably ripped? Well, they achieved it by being able to do this workout!

The 300 Workout, brought to us by Gerard Butler of Men’s Health Magazine, is an advanced grueling routine that will let you know quickly if you’re a real man or not! Folks, do NOT try this at home unless you are already in great shape.

Ballantyne put together this workout video series for you to follow along with and — provided you’re fit like a king– try for yourself.

“One actor from 300, Andrew Pleavin, completed the workout in 18 minutes,11 seconds,” says Ballantyne. “He didn’t practice this workout…and neither did I. My time? 19:07. My butt was kicked by a Hollywood actor!”

“It’s a brutal workout, starting out strong and slowing down, finishing at a crawl,” explains Ballantyne. “I don’t plan on doing that any time soon or, really, ever again.”

For a Spartan-sized challenge to your daily routine, consider this your new fitness gauntlet:

  1. Pullups – 25 reps
  2. Deadlifts with 135lbs – 50 reps
  3. Pushups – 50 reps
  4. 24-inch Box jumps – 50 reps
  5. Floor wipers – 50 reps
  6. Single-arm Clean-and-Press with 36lbs Kettlebell – 50 reps
  7. Pullups – 25 reps


Of course, if you haven’t seen the movie yet – do it! It is freakin awesome! Definitely one of my favorites of all time, and here is the 300 Movie Trailer to give you a taste:
