Saturday 2 October

GERARD BUTLER portray Leonidas, the king of Sparta who, along with 300 soldiers, battles to prevent the Persian army from invading all of Greece in Warner Bros. Pictures™ action drama '300' W.O.D.

’300′

25 Pull up

50 Deadlift (60/35)

50 Press up

50 Box jump

50 Floor wiper(60/35)

50  KB clean & press (16/12) (25 each arm)

25 Pull up

This workout is courtesy of Gym Jones and was made famous by the Spartan movie ’300′.  The actors and stunt men were trained intensely for 4 months to create the look required for the movie.  The 300 workout was apparently undertaken by invitation only, by those deemed ready and a lot of hype worldwide was built up as a result of media coverage.  I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing this workout a few times in the last few years,  I recall the feeling after hitting it hard as a mix between that of Fran and the Filthy Fifty.  Can’t wait to do it tomorrow….

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELAINE!!

John Mayhew
I have been a member at CrossFit Birkenhead for the last 2 years and prior to that, CrossFit Birkenhead coach Paul Davies had been training me using CrossFit methods in one-on-one sessions. CrossFit workouts are unparallel to any other workouts in the New Zealand fitness industry today and it is not a new fad that is going to disappear anytime soon. In a CrossFit class members are always educated on best practise and technique is always taught and monitored. As a physician, I have been impressed by Paul’s ability to scale workouts to appropriately suit individual needs. Each CrossFit workout is always different and your body and mind is continually challenged. I have referred my own family and friends to Paul and many of them are now also members of CrossFit Birkenhead.
