What they were training is to prepare for the вЂњ300вЂќ test. Rather, the 300 workout was the finale of months of training, a kind of graduation test, after actors had weight lifted and trained with tools such as medicine balls and Kettlebells. But, those 300 reps are not done every day. вЂњ300вЂќ workout gets its name from the total number of repetitions.

King Xerxes (left) is not really that tall in real life. Some were disappointed to learn that hard work is magicвЂ¦вЂќ Like what Twight wrote, вЂњThe typical interviewer wants to know about the вЂњmagicвЂќ workout the cast did to make them look so good. These actors have shed their sweat and tears to get bodies like that. When I watched the preview of this movie, I thought the production team was relying computers alone to shape the actorвЂ™s bodies. They wanted to create the conditions of the Greek warriors, shaping the modern man into a warrior look alike. One of the more interesting purposes behind this workout scheme is that the trainers did not want to turn the actors into bodybuilders. These men were trained eight to ten weeks. Twight warns that his Spartan workout is not for the faint-hearted, nor the out-of-shape. No funky music, no air conditioning, no mirrors and no comfortable place to sit. Gym Jones, where the crew was trained, is a no-frills gym. 300 actors were trained by him under his brainchild program which has the same name, 300. Wonder who Mark Twight is? Mark Twight is an exercise guru and former world-class mountain climber who clings to the вЂњno pain, no gainвЂќ mantra. While surfing the Net for 300 movie posters, came to know Mark Twight with his so called 300 workout. The director has successfully shown that Spartan army was not only cruel, but also ripped with muscle built from the hardships. I almost dropped my balls after I found out about the training routine the crew has gone through. Most girls may drool over the actorsвЂ™ solid body shapes because this movie really shows lots of man-flesh. What really impressed me is not so much on the story, but the actorsвЂ™ body shapes. If you like Matrix with lots of blood, you will like 300. Almost all battle scene features at least one long shot that varies from super slow motion to super fast motion repeatedly. Lots of slow motion shots and gimmicky Matrix-style battle scenes. It is about how Spartan King Leonidas and 300 Spartans fight to the last man against Persian King Xerxes and his army of over one million soldiers. Just in case you wonder what 300 movie is about вЂ“ it is actually a film adaptation of the graphic novel 300 by Frank Miller. Not really the review on the movie itself, but something else. Hope it is not too late for me to write about 300. Many have written about this movie and some are still talking about it. Most of you have probably watched 300 movie.
