Spartan was as strong as an ox and as fit as a fiddle, he was so courageous that when he looked fear in the face he laughed at it with a big, gutsy guffaw. Motivated by strength, self-discipline and plenty of female admirers, Spartan flexed his bulging, athletic muscles wherever he went, much to the annoyance of his flimsier, weedier-looking rivals.  

It's no longer acceptable to don a long Spartan skirt, a big brass shield and pop out to shed testosterone-fuelled chaos across the land, but a well-toned torso and rippling six-pack will never go out of fashion.
