When someone suggested a She-Hulk workout for the ladies I instantly agreed.
There’s this negative notion towards getting JACKED as a lady and for some reason some women think if they lift weights they’ll end up looking “manly” or like She-Hulk for example.
This is just not the case.
So, then what the heck is this routine for if we’re not going to be looking like She-Hulk?
Oh man, am I glad you asked.
We’ve already seen a workout for The Hulk (multiple if I’m being honest), and now it’s time to give the ladies a program to get STRONG.
SUPER strong to be precise.
She-Hulk Stats:
Height: 5’10 Jen Walters, 6’7 She-Hulk
Weight: 150 lbs Jen Walters, 700 lbs She-Hulk
Real Name: Jennifer Walters
Powers: Yes
She-Hulk is officially the tallest woman character we’ve seen.
Even as Jen Walters she’s pretty tall…
Supergirl and Erza Scarlet were our shortest at 5’5 before Wasp came in at 5’4 and Kale, Anna and Nina Williams matching her there. BUT, now we have Caulifla at 4’8!
We had Wonder Woman come in standing 6’0 tall, Hawkgirl at 5’9, Mystique and Sonya Blade at 5’10, and Storm 5’11.
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 and Poison Ivy at 5’8.
And, the tallest we’d seen before She-Hulk was Starfire at 6’4!
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!

She-Hulk 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 (Greek Gods, 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.

She-Hulk Workout Routine Research
Drum roll please.
We’ve officially made it to “the fun part”.
This is where I get to tell you guys the “how” and “why” of the routine we’re about to build by discussing the characters (in this case She-Hulk’s) powers and abilities.
For that we’re going to use a mixture of Wikipedia, Marvel Wiki and Marvel.com. The combination has proven to be pretty damn good.
Let’s start with a word from our friends over at Marvel:
After getting a blood transfusion from her cousin Bruce Banner, Jennifer Walters gained all the powers of the Hulk – and all the problems. But while she gained massive strength, she never lost her passion for justice.
Oh, did you not know She-Hulk was Bruce Banner’s, AKA The Hulk’s, cousin?
Figured I’d fill you in on that one, if you missed the title of this article.
Next on the list is She-Hulks Wikipedia page, giving us, in full agreement with Marvel, her powers and abilities:
- Superhuman strength, speed, durability and endurance
- Regenerative healing factor
Alright, I really want to point something out here.
She-Hulk is not JUST strong. She’s also fast, durable and has a ton of endurance.
That means we’re not JUST training to be strong. We’re also training to be fast, durable and have a ton of endurance…
Oh, fun fact before we get into the workout. She-Hulk’s Marvel Wiki page tells us she has been:
Private attorney, adventurer; formerly bounty hunter, S.H.I.E.L.D.agent, actress, mine slave, Magistra of the Living Tribunal, NYC Assistant District Attorney with a Law degree from UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles)
Pretty awesome, eh?
That fits right in with Marvel’s last line about never losing her “passion for justice.”.
Let’s do this, shall we?
