But those 300 reps weren't done daily, as some media accounts report, Twight says. 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 (cast iron weights with handles). It's daunting, and includes these weight-training moves: 25 pull-ups 50 deadlifts at 135 pounds 50 push-ups 50 box jumps with a 24-inch box 50 "floor wipers" (a core and shoulders exercise at 135 pounds) 50 "clean and press" at 36 pounds (a weight-lifting exercise) 25 more pull-ups -- for a total of 300 reps Have fun. -------------- I see the words you are typing, but all I read is clickclickclick - One should not lift like a man or a woman, lift like a human.

They take into account that they will be working and schedule meals and there workouts accordingley. Never use the excuse that they dont have to work as a reason that they can get any bigger, stronger or fitter than you can. Your workout generally wouldn't/shouldn't take more than an hr. Its not like because they dont have jobs that there going to be working out 8 hrs a day while your at work. Meals can always be planned into the day. This sounds like an attack but i just dont like it when someone uses circumstances as the reason they cant be as good as someone else, sure it may help to have more free time but its not an excuse! -------------- OBSESSION is a word the lazy use to describe the DEDICATED
	2007/06/01, 07:26 AM danny - I'm not speaking of body builders in general, i'm referring to actors that land rolls like this. I applaud those that balance working and and working out as i know it is difficult but rewarding. I'm just saying it would be nice to be able to have the luxury of always having personal trainers and fully stocked gyms and meal planners and personal assistants and chefs etc. at your disposal at any given time of the day like many actors do. I don't mean anything as an attack, and I apologize if it was considered as such.

They followed crossfit principles, and trained hard 2-4x per day. Like mcouta said, they were paid to train. When you have nothing else going on in your life, this is effective. However, with scheduling restrictions etc, there are other, better ways to do this. -------------- Mortal by birth. Strongman by the grace of god. Blood Guts Sweat Chalk
