having been inspired by the movie, i decided to find out more about the training regime the cast and crew had to endure to get their ripped bodies... and frankly i wasn't prepared for what i found out.
this video is basically an introduction and an overview to what they had to go thru... and even that was enough to make me sweat where i sat... my mind can't even comprehend the intensity of the workouts. in fact, as a gauge of their fitness, they designed a fitness test called "300" which comprises of a total of 300 reps broken down as follows:-
“300”
25x Pull-ups +
50x Deadlift of 135 pounds +
50x Push-up +
50x Box Jump @ 24 inch box +
50x Floor Wiper @ 135 pounds (one-count) +
50x Kettle Ball Clean and Press @ 36 pounds (Kettle Ball must touch floor between reps) +
25x Pull-ups
300 reps total
hur hur hur. 25 pull-ups. like real lor =P i can't even do 5 haahahhaa.
if you're interested in reading up more, gym jones is the guy who trained them, he's got a few articles and videos you might wanna check out.
woohoo.

Yeah, but don't forget another essential component. Diet. These guys probably had their diets controlled by some dietician/nutritionist.
yea in fact they said that they had enforced calorie restriction, just enough for muscle recovery... to produce the sinewy tough look
Yeah, and they said after that regime they went through, they felt their muscles being very knotted up. I think they'll need to all go to Thailand for a good thai-massage big time. Heck, i think with the money, they could fly the masseuses (however this is spelt) down.
