Imagination Time-Call forth images of the lean and mean, jacked and ripped cast of the television show Spartacus . You know the body-type I’m talking about, the taut, toned, chiseled body-fat of 5% physiques that reek of 2-3 HIT workouts per day and scrupulously avoiding all sugars and carbs, while piling on all the paleo-approved goodies that you can choke down. Got those enviable images in mind? Terrific! Before we get to The Gladiator Diet, allow me to ask another question of our Spartacus cast-members. No matter how jacked and ripped these performers are, no matter how much undoubted discipline and hard work that goes into attaining these forms, do we think this translates to true gladiatorial skill? Actual combat prowess? Of course, not. Don’t get me wrong, hard-work is hard-work and we are able to do more with a fit athlete than an unfit athlete, but these performers would be the first to tell you they eat and train to look like warriors not to be warriors....
