The actual real 300 workout (gymjones.com)

Someone posted a workout that purported (incorrectly) to be the one used by the actors in 300. The post was deleted before I could offer a correction, so here's a description of the actual program those guys were on.

The actors in that film trained at a gym called Gym Jones, run by Mark Twight, one of the strongest American alpine climbers of his day. The directors wanted them to look sinewy and jacked, not big, so they put them on a caloric restriction diet (they had to do reps to earn food, on a schedule designed for weight loss). The actual exercises they had to do were changed constantly to prevent their bodies from becoming accustomed to any one thing, so there really is no "300 workout" at all.
