You Don’t Need Complicated Workouts
Saw the new 300 flick this weekend… twice.
So, definitely a worthy sequel.
And for me it was interesting to look back at where I was when I saw the original 300… ya know, about the famous last stand of a group of ancient Spartans who faced an army of overwhelming numbers.
It was a Friday evening one day a few years back when I went to the movie theater with some buddies after an exhausting week.
I was running two different businesses at the time and this was a rare moment for me to unwind.
Settled in my comfy chair, my hands wrapped around a massive tub of buttered popcorn and a gigantic cup of soda, when the movie began.
(Hey, I was feeling a bit depressed.)
The movie blew me away.
Since I was a history major in college, I knew a little about the Spartan battle at Thermopylae that was shown in the movie.
And also the about the upbringing of the Spartans.
Those guys really were the ultimate badasses of the ancient world.
Everyone was in awe of their prowess.
And how did they get that way?
I can tell you how they DIDN’T get that way: they didn’t take steroids, they didn’t do fancy workouts on isolation machines, and they didn’t follow some crazy fad diet, or the theory of the week.
No, the Spartans become the most feared military machine in the ancient world because of their simple approach to fitness, battle, and life.
That’s what the word “Spartan” has come to mean, right?
Simple.
Stripped Down.
Nothing fancy but what works.
It occurred to me right then in the movie theater that I had been overcomplicating my efforts to create the body I had always dreamed about.
That’s when the seed of A Spartan Rises was planted.
Took many more years of trial and error in the “laboratory” of the gym. This time I focused on the simple compound exercises that worked major muscle groups. I focused on just getting stronger.
Because to build muscle, you don’t focus on building muscle.
You focus on building strength – CORRECTLY.
Using “The Spartan Strength Ladder”, a unique way of approaching training that will completely revolutionize your strength gains, giving you unlimited motivation and the will to complete your journey.
Because let’s face it — transforming your body IS a journey. When you choose to build a Spartan body,
you’re making a choice for a different way of life. It’s a different way of looking at yourself.
It’s a life where you don’t have to be ashamed of what you see in the mirror. Where you can stand
before your mate and your children with pride, knowing that you are setting an example of what it
means to be a man.
It’s the kind of pride that doesn’t magically appear overnight … and it’s not something you can buy.
I can’t even give it to you.
Only YOU can forge it.
But I CAN provide you with a proven path for that journey, one that has worked for hundreds of guys.
