Andy Whitfield Gets “Gladiator Ripped” to play Spartacus

Everyone has seen the “Men’s Health Workout” for these guys, but I have taken it a step further.
I have strategically combined the “Spartacus Workout” with a weight training program that will leave you lean and ripped, with a solid muscular base. You’ll be strengthening and defining muscles while making them denser and harder, for a sharp angular look. Let’s take a look at the workout program for achieving this look and how to put a twist on it to maximize your results.

The Spartacus Workout – Interval Circuit Training

When “Spartacus” was re-made recently, the actors were put through a specific training method referred to as CrossFit style training or weighted interval circuit training, a full body workout method. Unlike traditional body builder bulked up shape, the actors needed a lean athletic shape to be more convincing in their roles.

The “Spartacus Workout” works every muscle in your body with high energy repetition intervals and fast action movements, all with little down time. This exercise routine increases muscular strength and definition and burns body fat more efficiently, both much more valuable over all in a workout than doing cardiovascular exercise by using a treadmill or elliptical machine for what feels like tedious hours on end.

This workout is simple, doesn’t involve a lot of equipment and is something you can do or take anywhere. The necessary pieces are a pair of light dumb bells and one separate dumb bell of a slightly heavier weight. Gentlemen, I recommend a pair of 15 pound dumb bells for your light set one 25-30 pound dumb bell for the slightly heavier individual one. This workout is also great for women seeking muscle tone and a lean sculpted Megan Fox like body.

Although you may notice slight increases in your muscle mass, overall muscle gain is not your ultimate goal. If you already have a good set of strengthened muscles, these exercises will help tone and define the muscular shape you have and will increase your muscle stamina.

The Spartacus Workout is 41 minutes of high impact interval exercises that will challenge and move your entire body It consists of a cycle of 10 movements, each performed for 1 minute, with a 15 second rest period between each move. You do this for three full rounds of the cycle to complete the workout, and there is a two minute rest period in between each round.
  • To help you keep track of time and keep you going, Google “Spartacus Workout Muse” which is free to download. It is a 42 minute track which gives the appropriate start and stop times for each exercise as well as a good pounding beat to get your heart pumping. It is a perfect workout soundtrack.

The 10 Movements:

  1. Goblet Squat (Using heavier DB)
  2. Mountain Climbers
  3. Single-arm DB Swing (30 seconds each arm)
  4. Alternating T-Pushups
  5. Split Jumps
  6. Bentover DB Row
  7. DB Side-lunge and Touch
  8. Renegade Row
  9. Forward-lunge and Twist (Using heavier DB)
  10. Overhead DB Press
To find out more about performing the movements, please refer to “Andy Whitfield’s Spartacus Workout and Diet Plan” at Hollywood Body Fitness. The number of repetitions is not what is important in this case, perform each movement without ceasing, if you can, until the minute mark has passed. Take 15 seconds to rest and start the next movement.
Below is my personal recommendation for incorporating the Spartacus Workout into your regular weekly weight training routine. By working out with both forms, your body will increase its strength and gain lean muscle mass as well as definition.
Hybrid Training Plan – Incorporating Your Regular Weight Training with the Spartacus Interval Workout

Monday – Work your Chest and Back

Tuesday – “Spartacus”

Wednesday – Work your Shoulders

Thursday – “Spartacus”

Friday – Time for your Arms, Biceps and Triceps

Saturday – “Spartacus”

Sunday – Let your body have a day off to rest and recover

This workout plan is designed to burn body fat quickly as well as strengthening and maintaining the muscle definition you already have. The loss of body fat will help enhance your muscular definition and allow for the illusion of larger muscles without the serious bodybuilding routine.

The Spartacus Diet Plan will enhance your work out by giving you the best “get lean” program, designed to maximize this program’s results.

I use the rotation workout routine listed above every week and I am incredibly pleased with the results. It gives me an “Adonis-Like” aesthetically pleasing physique. This workout is not for “casual exercisers”, it is designed for people who are already in fairly decent shape. However this is a workout that anyone can perform, just go at your own pace and build up speed as you get stronger and faster.
