The 300

Now I can be honest and say that I do not want to be built like Gerard Butler. However, I have to be honest and say that there is something impressive about the shape he was in when he did the movie The 300.  He, along with many of the men in the movie are something to drool out. 

I was online and found the workout they did to prepare for this movie and said to myself, "I want to do that!"
So I sent a message to my trainer, Brian Hiltbrand, and tell him of my grand idea.  (There has to be some pride when your client emails you and tells you that she wants to do a kick-ass workout)
A week later I come into the gym and Brian gives me the look.  Now for those of you who do not know the look, it is a look that let's you know that you are going to go to your breaking point.

Pullups - 25 reps

Barbell Deadlift with 135 lbs. - 50 reps

Pushups - 50 reps

24-inch Box Jumps - 50 reps

Floor Wipers - 50 reps (With 90 Pound Weight above head)

Single-Arm Clean-and-Press with 36 lbs Kettlebell - 50 reps

Pullups - 25 reps
When I began the workout I felt strong.  When I hit the floor wipers I thought to myself, "Krista, what the heck were you thinking?"  At the end I have to tell you I was so proud of myself.  My goal for next time is to beat my time.  I have to look and see where I put the original time and post it.  Next month I hope to do it again with more weight and faster.   I definitely think you should give the "Original" a try.

I found the workout for all levels and I am going to post below:
