Gerard Butler worked out intensely for 4 months in order to have the body needed for the role in “300”. Some reports say he worked out even harder than professional athletes. To achieve his body, he hired Mark Twight, a former world-class mountain climber. Mark believes that hearing about the workout that lies ahead should make you almost sick. The workouts, which he performed 5 times a week, included Olympic lifts, functional training, and metabolic body movements. One circuit included 25 pull-ups, 50 deadlifts with 135 pounds, 50 pushups, 50 floor wipers, 50 single-arm clean-and-presses using a 36-pound kettle bell, and 25 more pullups and more. This discipline helped him get into the right mentality for the role, as well. His goal was to look “really strong.” Mission accomplished.
He got that result in 4 months? Seriously. I need to get to work.
