1. You're a douchebag for abusing reply.
2. A FLOP? A 70 million dollar weekend is a FLOP? The best-ever March debut is a flop? The third-best weekend for an R-rated movie EVER?
You are an idiot. - squeevey, on 10/12/2007, -4/+155How do I do this with the wii?
- Grub, on 10/12/2007, -4/+150I once did a sit-up ....
- joeshlub, on 10/12/2007, -3/+124I just wish it were possible to do training to this extent in your own home, or even in a gym for that matter. This is some pretty rigorous stuff that I'd definitely like to do.

Tie a 20 lbs weight to both the wiimote and the nunchuck, and put a 50lbs weight in a backpack on your back. Now, go beat Twilight Princess in one sitting, err, standing. - mortigon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+120The UPS guys would be built like Spartans after having to deliver all of those
- mandarin, on 10/12/2007, -7/+111you want to get manboobs?
- Sornos, on 10/12/2007, -2/+100Just do a lot of sit ups while screaming catch phrases from the movie.

RAARR! - dcbebop, on 10/12/2007, -7/+99*****.
- eleven, on 10/12/2007, -0/+89I would, if it came bundled with all the equipment. Come-on I want a giant tire too!
- UO07, on 10/12/2007, -3/+71If that guy made a training video I would buy it.
- Electrox3d, on 10/12/2007, -11/+70Military.... in Canada? ... phfmf... phahahahaha!
- crombenevolant, on 10/12/2007, -1/+59They ate nothing but the flesh of vanquished warriors. It really helps motivate you.
- Panace9, on 10/12/2007, -3/+53I hope you are just a troll and not that uneducated about this subject.
Genetics does have to do with it, you can base your training on your genetics, in that some have more Slow twitch muscle fibers (endurance fibers, responding better to higher rep ranges) and others fast twitch( responding to lower rep ranges)...others middle of the road.
Some ectomorphs require higher caloric intake as their bodies don't extract enough nutrients and calories from their food and some endomorphs are at the opposite end of the spectrum and require lower caloric intake as they extract too many calories from their foods resulting in excess bodyfat. - rubberbrush, on 10/12/2007, -7/+49"Kettlebells" sounds like Peter Pan's gay lover...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+45@woody
Playing xbox live won't get you a body like the guys in 300. - ghost116, on 10/12/2007, -0/+40This movie is so testosteronic your eyes will get boners
- Achilles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+34Right. If my veins are not popping out as they were before, get smashed. Got it.
- XedLos, on 10/12/2007, -2/+35Yeah i can relate same workout i do. *Flexes* Just kidding i doubt i would last a day working out like that
- devilspy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+33Did you even bother to read the article attached to the video? You miss the point of the article/video. It's not about size, you don't have to be big to be ripped and have some serious strength.
"The average celebrity trainer would have trained the actors to look like Spartan Warriors - Mark Twight put the actors in 300 through workouts that would create the kind of strength and power they would need to be Spartan Warriors." - monergism, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33A movie that glorifies being a man. The fact that it's a blockbuster makes me smile.
We are not meant to be veal calves. - Eric21, on 10/12/2007, -10/+40digg users can only envy..
- dcbebop, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31@Walker2323
Wish I could digg you up more. Effin hilarious. - Endies, on 10/12/2007, -4/+33Yeah, and fat people are born fat. It's a disease, they can't change it. Right?
- woody56292, on 10/12/2007, -9/+38this was on xbox live.... still digging though cause it is some amazing training.
- FakeFakerson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28My friends actually do the tire training. They got a used bulldozer tire from some tire place. Only problem was, they wouldn't just sell them the tire to use for working out, the guy said there were liabilities involved and he'd have to prove he was using it for a bulldozer. His dad who owns a construction company had to swing by and pick up the tire. Really costly though, I think it was just shy of a grand.
- tastypastry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25Never forget guys, round is a shape.
- Walker2323, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25If you want some great detailed instruction on this type of workout, go to:
www.crossfit.com
It's an awesome site with a TON of information. All the military guys are working out like this these days (at least in Canada). - kevintmckay, on 10/12/2007, -9/+32joeshlub,
You can do this at home
http://www.simplefit.org/workouts.html - crombenevolant, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24Now if I can just get someone to pay me to work out constantly like these guys did. Otherwise I keep running into that whole sleep/work constraint.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+30Anyone and everyone can get a body like that.
People just have ***** diets and fail to alternate between weight lifting and cardio.
Seriously, the typical unattractive fat 50 year old woman could transform herself into HOT SEXY in a year if she puts in enough effort. - mortigon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22It looks way cooler when you flip a tire
- sully213, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20Watching 300 and seeing the not just 6-packs, but whole freaking 24-packs on these guys just made me look down at my "keg" and remind me that I *really* need to start going to the gym again. I used to go fairly regularly and then just got busy with life and put back on all the weight I lost ;(
- teeheehee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20@zybch "I did half of one. Does that count?"
Depends on the algorithm you choose. - dopplerdog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Boot camp? Me too. I started November last year, going 3 times a week at 6AM for an hour each session, plus an hour solo on the weekends. In that time, I went from barely doing 15 situps in a minute and 15 pushups in a minute, to 45 situps/min and 38 pushups/min. Blood pressure has dropped from 130/80 to 110/60, rest pulse from 65 to 50, body fat from around 21% to 16%. I can now see arm definition and abs definition (I have obliques!), though still short of a six pack. I've had to drop jeans size 3 times. All in just over 4 months time.
What's truly amazing is that I'm now much fitter than newbies at boot camp who are in their 20s, whereas I've just turned 41. Aiming for 10% body fat with no weight loss, even if it takes me all year. I'm gonna get the six pack I never had in my 20s, even if I'm already in my 40s.
A lot credit goes to my wife, who came back from cancer 6 years ago to becoming one of the fittest people I know - she could probably outrace me without breaking a sweat. A source of inspiration :-) - mortigon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Ahnold does. You got a problem?
- Lemon, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21Hey Kevin, can we have a 300 section on Digg please.
- narmer65, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17As mentioned in the comments below, visit www.crossfit.com. They have very detailed instructional videos for the exercises they do. Not only that they provide a different workout every day (called the WOD) following a 3 days of work 1 day of rest methodology.
Oh, and it's absolutely free. Crossfit is sometimes referred as open source fitness. There are several trainers and gyms that take the crossfit methodologies, tweak them for there own needs and offer there version to the public. The 300 workout is an example. Just like open source software, many of these trainers will offer there routines to the public for free but you can pay for training (give the software away for free pay for support). - soul12, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18watching yourself in the mirror isn't wholly because of vanity, looking at the mirror while lifting weights assist in correcting your form
- IHOLDMYPOOPIN, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16All you need for the same type of effect as all those exercises at home is: get a power rack, a 45lb olympic style bar and some plate weights.
Tire flip = sumo deadlift...You don't need a freakin' tire. To get the added cardio of moving the tire a certain distance just do a sprint after each rep.
You can do all the exercises you want, but those guys had to have had awesome diets to get as lean as some of them were. - haastyle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14its great that you can lift more, but try doing it in the time limit they do, no rest in between sets, just one exercise after another. This promotes real athletic performance, this kind of workout is much harder on the body than just lifting heavy weights and resting for a minute or so and lifting again.
- MoFoKeR, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15definitely and then ate half gallon of rocky road ice cream :( sad inside laughing in the outside lol
- etruscan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15I admire the effort put in here, but perhaps the makeup department could have afforded the same sort of attention to detail. They couldn't have covered up Lena Headey's vaccination scar? They removed her tattoos - what makeup artist neglected to take out that little tidbit of 20th century?
- johal55, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15They forgot to mention the diet these guys had to follow which is 90% of getting to look like that.
- KarthVader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13After watching the trailers and seeing that workout featurette, how many of you looked at yourself and thought, "fatass"? I know I did.
- alexforcefive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12half = a sit-down? I do mad reps of those :p
- kevintmckay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Crossfit kicks ass, I have been doing it for about a year and it made this lard ass geek lean and hard here is a simplified version that requires not equip for for starting out.
http://www.simplefit.org/ - jimmiss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Wow do I need to get in shape again. I feel guilty now.
