Storm is definitely one of my favorite mutants.
And, I absolutely loved her portrayal in Apocalypse as well.
She’s freakin’ strong!
And, yeah sure, I’m mainly talking about her powers – but in these new superhero / character based routines we’re doing – that’s what we have to talk about!
We’ve already seen Halle Berry on SHJ, who has portrayed Storm in some of our X-Men movies, and I happen to love her.
Storm Stats:
Height: 5’11
Weight: 127 lbs.
Real Name: Ororo Munroe
Powers: Yes (Mutant)
Storm is actually pretty tall!
Halle Berry, who I mentioned portrays her, is only 5’5!
Supergirl was our shortest at 5’5 before Wasp came in at 5’4, and we had Wonder Woman come in standing 6’0 tall, and Mystique at 5’10; but the average height for female celebrities on the site is generally more-so ranging from 5’4-5’6 – and our Black Widow is just above that at 5’7 with Harley Quinn.
That leaves Storm right up there among the tallest we’ve seen.
But don’t worry, either way.
Not only are these routines for all shapes and sizes – they also work for both men and women – regardless of the gender of the hero!

Storm Diet and Nutrition
**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero, unless I mentioned differently (for example someone like The Hulk may get something specifically different**
Every hero needs to still have a good diet.
Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.
You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.
You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.
Guys like Hugh Jackman and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting daily, and I also use it myself in conjunction with cyclical ketosis.
That being said, I also recommend tracking and paying attention to protein intake.
BUT, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.
Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, Superhumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!
Oh, and if you’re down with calorie counting instead, that’s always an option as well. It’s just important to be aware of specific rules and precision while counting.

Storm Workout Routine Research
So we’re officially at the “fun part” of the article.
This is where I get to research to powers and abilities of the character in order to tell us the “why” and “how” of the workout routine that has been created.
In this case we’re going to have some fun with the weather.
Going straight to the source, Marvel tells us Storm’s abilities are:
Storm is extraordinarily skilled at picking both locks and pockets. Storm is also a gifted hand-to-hand combatant, having been trained extensively by her fellow X-Man Wolverine, and is also an excellent marksman with handguns.
Which is great, because we love adding in the extra fight training for all our character based routines.
Thanks Wolverine.
And, they give us a TON of information about her powers as well.
I’ll do my best to just give the beginning chunk and then add in some other cool information:
Storm is a mutant who possesses the psionic ability to manipulate weather patterns over limited areas. She can stimulate the creation of any form of precipitation such as rain or fog, generate winds in varying degrees of intensity up to and including hurricane force, raise or lower the humidity and temperature in her immediate vicinity, induce lightning and other electrical atmospheric phenomena, and disperse natural storms so as to create clear change. Storm can direct the path of certain atmospheric effects, such as bolts of lightning, with her hands. She has also demonstrated the ability to manipulate ocean currents, though the extent of this ability is still unclear.
She’s also able to fly, which is pretty freakin’ awesome if you ask me.
I’m not sure we’ll be able to train you on that one, though…

Storm Workout Routine
Training Volume:
3+ days per week
Explanation:
We’re talking about Storm here. This routine is pretty brutal. BUT, it’s effective and will leave you sore and wanting more. There are 3 days of programmed training, and the other 1-2 days can be added as activity or mixed martial arts training. All heroes should know how to defend themselves.
What you need to know:
A Superset means you’re performing those movements back to back. If a movement is part of “Superset 1” it’s part of the grouping of movements in that superset and you perform them back to back and then proceed to break and do another set [of those movements] after.
HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. Do one minute ON (sprint 6-10mph) and one minute OFF (walk 2.5-3.3mph) for 25 minutes. That means you go back and forth every minute for the duration. On, off, on, off, etc.
When lifting your initial lifts/compounds (especially), you should be using pyramid training.
Want To Upgrade This Workout?
The Superhero Academy now comes with an Upgrade Your Workout Tool that allows Academy members to turn any SHJ workout into a 4-8 week fully planned regime detailing exact weights to lift and including reverse & traditional pyramid training, straight sets, super sets, progressive overload and more.
