Spartan Ab Exercise

[MikeMartial]

Well, probably not done by ancient spartans, but it was done by Gerard Butler as part of his training for 300.

It's a new one to me, so I thought I'd post it up. Found it in an interview in Men's Health. Doesn't give much on the training, but the interview did lead me to believe Butler is seriously ADHD.

Floor Wipes (Video Here)

Lie on the floor holding a 135lb bar straight overhead. Keeping your legs straight, touch your feet to one plate, then lower to the center, and then raise again and touch the other plate. That's one rep.

These sound interesting, and I'll have to try them out.

Im to fucking stupid to get it.

i think that he means lower both legs to the start position as "center", so i guess its like a bench press with leg raises that twist to touch the plates if that helps, or maybe i am just as confused

That is how it sounds to me. Also Gerard Butler is huge as shit in this movie.

I'm giving that a try, if only to scare the crap out of old ladies at my gym.

Mike's taking this Sparta thing too far.

I figure we'll get him some help once dressing in Spartan garb and cursing barbarians.
