The workout is specialized and has a special gym to train in to do it. Mark Twight, a personal trainer, is respsonsible for Butler's shaping up. The constant pushing needs the right person. He's a former world-class mountain climber believes in training as if your life depends on it. The sprints with a bungee-jumping type cord to grab a retreating kettlebell attest to that. Scottish thespian Butler had to train in marathons of varying new types of exercises to get that ultra ripped look.
The 300 workout is the latest in a growig tend of physical fitness towards more naturalistic regimens. For example, to hasten Butler's mind-body transformation, there was created what he calls the "300-rep Spartan workout." For those who know, 100 reps is difficult even for trainers. But no athlete should begin at 300 reps. Strength should be built up. Use sofa and armchairs with hands wrapped in oven mitts to duplicate classical warfare.
This workout is not for newbies or amateurs. Warm-ups and conditioning exercises with yoga poses are required to get muscles flexible enough to perform. The 300 workout has unarguable results. Experts strongly advise working with a trainer before doing the highest amounts of reps. Start in the low numbers and work within your own fitness levels. It goes like this: Without resting between exercises, Perform 25 pullups, 50 deadlifts with 135 pounds, 50 pushups, 50 jumps on a 24-inch box, 50 floor wipers, 50 single-arm clean-and-presses using a 36-pound kettle bell, and 25 more pullups.
