Zag de naam 300 voorbij komen. De gasten van 300 trainden bij gym jones, daar worden ze in ieder geval stevig aangepakt op een soort van crossfit manier, en hoor je hoe ze te werk gingen. En voor een enkele tienduizenden dollars, wie is er dan niet super gemotiveerd om binnen no-time een superlichaam te kweken? Beetje zinnen leren, en trainen, eten en slapen.. Het eerste stukje dus ff over wat de know-it-all's allemaal zeggen, dan bewijst gym jones het tegendeel (althans, een mooie weerlegging) in 't volledige artikel (link.)
Here are a few quotes pulled from the forum of a website, whose owner also purports to have an idea about what it took for the guys to do what they did. Not that his imagination is wrong, he just doesn’t know. Plenty of other quotes may be pulled from know-it-all fitness sites but these few offer the fodder needed for the rant that follows.
“Many of you will know from your own experiences (and common sense) that 8 weeks of training will not transform you from a normal guy into the actors in 300. Nor will 2 or 3 years without roids. Sorry, but thats just the way it is.”
“The actors in 300 are not normal guys, they all will have trained and juiced for years before this and have already been massively well developed.”
“Note, these guys didn't get this athletically trimmed in a couple months. 6 months minimum with diet.”
“Anyone who thinks that these guys went from "normal" to what they were in the film in anything less than years is very naive, probably through no real fault of there own... Furthermore the vast majority if not all of them will have taken steroids”
“No amount of training, bodybuilding or otherwise, would allow you to develop a physique anywhere near as good as these guys without gear. Go to your local gym and see how many people come close.”
