Spartan Warrior Training

I was wondering how the actors in 300 trained for the movie. According to this, they underwent an extreme training regiment based on actual physical development rather than just muscle sculpting. By the end of the training, they were literally ready for battle. That’s awesome.

Essentially, the actors were training for performance – and the look came with it.

The average celebrity trainer would have trained the actors to look like Spartan Warriors – Mark Twight put the actors in 300 through workouts that would create the kind of strength and power they would need to be Spartan Warriors.

  4. I appriciate that these actors trained very hard for this role but I doubt very much that they were anywhare the physical and mental fittness of a spartan warrior of old.

  5. Definitely. A few months of training compared to a lifetime of training is no comparison at all really.
