Top 7 Spartan Resources
By popular demand…
Here’s my top 7 favorite Spartan training & motivation resources.
No long, blathering build up.
No messing around.
Here it is…
- Zack Snyder’s “300” Movie – perfect for a nice shot of motivation if you’ve been feeling slack lately
- Mark Ripptoe’s “Starting Strength” DVD and Book
- Spartacus: Gods of the Arena and Blood & Sand (plus other seasons). May be a little too raunchy and excessively violent depending on your tolerance. Think 300 meets Gladiator
- God of War game series for Playstation / PSP. Don’t have much time for gaming these days but if I do, this is what I fire up.
- Prepare for Glory Spartan 300 Poster either for room / office or computer desktop wallpaper.
- Gladiator, Troy and Thor – all great movies that embody the Spartan Essence
- Gladiator and Dark Knight Soundtracks – perfect to pump you up inside or out of the gym
So there you have it.
Anytime you feel your Spartan mojo getting low go through and pick up one of those items.
Some are more expensive than others, but in the end they have all EASILY paid for themselves in terms of the value delivered (keeping you motivated, proper form, faster training benefits, etc).
So I guess in that sense, they were technically “free.”
P.S. What kind of sorry excuse for a Spartan Doctore would I be if I didn’t include A Spartan Rises?
If you’re one of the few sitting on the outside looking in, no more.
It’s time to focus your training and leverage the simplicity and strength of the ancient Spartans for real, lasting change.
