In case you couldn't tell from the title,this is going to be a 6 week challenge inspired by the movie 300 aka the most badass movie of badasserie that there is. A little back story. Felt that the last challenge taught my alot and showed me that I can do great things when I put my mind to it. I enjoyed all of the exercises that I did, however I found myself getting stuck in the same old routine, squats->rows->Deadlifts->curls->pullups ect. I wanted something new/different/exciting/shiny as well as something that would cut down my time in the gym (at the end of the chalenge a normal gym time for me was 2-3 hours). I started doing research and I came to realize that I wanted the Kettlebell, it engages many more muscles than the other excercises that I was doing, and it is something new to learn. While looking for a book to describe and teach me proper kettlebell edicit, I came across The Spartan Warrior Workout: Get Action Movie Ripped in 30 Days. So I initially picked up the book because I wanted a laugh. A book that claims to take you from where you are to action movie ripped in 1 month? come on gotta be good for a laugh. The more I read in it though, the more of it made sense. The workouts seemed solid (and very intense, just reading some made my body ache) and the different levels for the pullups/pushups/deadlifts ect were awesome. So after reading through the book in the book store {1) its not a very big book and 2) I am that guy} I bought the book and made the decision to become a spartan. I have completed 2 of the workouts so far and I can honestly say they were different from eachother and they challenged me in ways I didn't know were possible. I will post my actual goals and my workouts from yesterday later tonight but I just wanted to get this going now. THIS IS NERD FITNESS!!!!!
