Kraven The Hunter Workout Routine: Train like The Hunter of Spider-Man and Brother of Chameleon

Last updated on October 2nd, 2021 at 06:12 pm

We’ve had a handful of villains, but this one should definitely be fun.

Kraven The Hunter is one of my favorites from the comics.

When I saw him come in as a suggestion I was like “Oh hell yes!”.

Did you know a Kraven The Hunter spin-off movie has been announced and is apparently in the works?

Well, let’s hope it happens because he is a BADASS.

SONY is looking to get it done with or without Spider-Man, just like we saw Venom with Tom Hardy.

Kraven The Hunter Stats:

Height: 6’0

Weight: 235 lbs.

Real Name: Sergei Kravinoff

Powers: Yes

I honestly though Kraven The Hunter would be taller.

I mean he’s not short, but I pictured him to be huge.

Vegeta were tied Wolverine for the shortest spot among comic characters we’ve seen at 5’3, prior to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coming in at 5’2, (and Gimli even shorter) – but Damian Wayne (Robin) is only 5’4.  Goku isn’t that tall either, though, standing only 5’7, with Miles Moralesonly an inch above him.

One Punch Man falls in at 5’9 right there with Ryu, Nightwing at 5’10, and then Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Green Arrow coming in around 5’11 and Beast joining them.

Just above them are Aquaman, Red Hood and Punisher standing only an inch or so taller.

We’ve had Superman and Eddie Brock’s Venom at 6’3, and Captain America, Scorpion and Batman at 6’2, and Carnage at 6’1. Thor and Cyborg are towering over them at 6’6, Thanos and King right there with them at 6’7, Bane at 6’8, and Deathstroke right below at 6’5, and Black Manta at 6’4.

And, of course, Hulk and Broly are both up there with them, and sometimes even portrayed much taller.

Yeah, that means All Might was the tallest at 7’2, only sometimes surpassed by The Hulk – and Zangief just missing the tallest spot at 7’0!

And I say “was” because Doomsday came in at 8’10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.

But, don’t worry if you’re not the same height or weight range.

We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.

Kraven The Hunter Diet and Nutrition

**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero, unless I mentioned differently (for example someone like Hellboy 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 Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.

It’s all about sustainability.

AND, 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!

Kraven The Hunter Workout Routine Research

We’ve made it to “the fun part”.

And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.

This is where I get to break down the “how” and “why” of the workout we’re going to build based on the characters, in this case Kraven The Hunter’s, powers and/or abilities.

Honestly, he’s so dang strong.

His list of powers and abilities are just endless!

But I’m going to give you them nonetheless.

Here’s the list of his powers right from his Wiki page:

Chemical/Magical Enhancement: After Kraven ingested Calypso’s mythical potions, his physiology underwent several changes endowing him with superhuman physical attributes. The powers he gained put him ‘on the top of the food chain’ as they are even greater than those of Captain America, who is himself considered a pinnacle of human evolution. Kraven is better, stronger, faster and more cunning than any human, coupled with his skills, Kraven truly is a dangerous and deadly adversary.

• Superhuman Strength: Kraven was superhumanly strong and was capable of lifting approximately 2 tons. However, due to his fighting experience, his strength is just enough to go toe-to-toe with the likes of Spider-Man.
• Superhuman Speed: Kraven was capable of running and moving at speeds greater than even the finest human athlete. At his peak, Kraven could spring short distances at speeds up to 60 miles per hour.
• Superhuman Stamina: Kraven’s musculature produced less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human. He could exert himself at peak capacity for several hours before fatigue began to impair him.
• Superhuman Durability: Though far from invulnerable, Kraven’s body was somewhat tougher and more resistant to injury than the body of an ordinary human. He could withstand great impacts and blunt force trauma, such as being punched and kicked by Spider-Man, without injury.
• Superhuman Agility: Kraven’s agility, balance, and bodily coordination were enhanced to levels that were beyond the human body’s natural limits. His agility and speed are enough to keep up and even catch up to Spider-Man.
• Superhuman Reflexes: Kraven’s reflexes and reaction time were enhanced to levels that were beyond the human body’s natural limits.
• Extended Longevity: Kraven’s jungle potions drastically altered his natural aging process, causing him to age much slower than an ordinary human. Despite being in his 70’s at the time of his death, Kraven had the physical appearance and vitality of 30 year old man.
• Enhanced Senses: Even before ingesting the serum, Kraven had peak human senses but the ingestion seems to have enhanced them even further. He can see clearly over vast distances, but is still affected by darkness. His sense of hearing is also greatly improved and has very sensitive hearing. His smell is his strongest and most trained sense. Kraven is able to track prey by smell alone and can remember different scents and their owners, much like a dog.

Did I tell you or did I tell you?

There’s even more!

You ready for the abilities?

Here they are from the same Wiki page:

Experienced Combatant: Kraven is a master of many armed and unarmed forms of combat and his skill is great enough to beat Spider-Man in one-on-one combat. He is also a expert knife fighter. His fighting style is very savage in nature and Kraven has developed a unique fighting style by fighting wild and vicious animals with his bare hands. His fighting skills are often enough to defeat Spider-Man in combat, a being with far greater strength than Kraven.

Weapon Specialist: He masters the usage of most melee weapons such as swords, knives, axes, staves and spears. However, due to his hunting experience, he is also skilled with ranged weaponry and has a remarkable skill with rifles and blow darts.

Expert Marksman: Kraven used all sorts of ranged weaponry during his life and as a result he possesses great accuracy and skill with guns and throwing weapons and also blow darts. He rarely misses his target.

Master Tactician and Strategist: Kraven has a brilliant tactical mind and often deploys elaborate traps to surprise his foes. He makes excellent use of his taming skills by incorporating deadly predators into his schemes. Kraven’s observatory skills are top-notch and he can patiently wait for hours just to find the perfect moment to strike. His plots allowed him to outsmart and kidnap the likes of Spider-Man and even Venom. He recently used his tactical skills to haunt the new Scarlet Spider (Kaine) while disguised as Ben Reilly.

Master Hunter and Tracker: Kraven was and still is one of Earth’s best hunters. He possesses astonishing tracking abilities and is even able to track Spider-Man across rooftops. Furthermore he can pick up his prey’s trail from meager details in the area. He also has vast hunting experience, knowing many special hunting methods and animal specific habits. He also developed techniques to track and hunt superpowered individuals like Spider-Man without their notice.

Medical Knowledge: He is very familiar with medicine and with exotic poisons, drugs, plants, tranquilizers and their effect on both animal and human anatomy. He has amassed a great knowledge about animal biology and has moderate knowledge about human anatomy as well.

Master Animal Tamer: Kraven can subdue and train almost any animal. Animals he has trained show fearless loyalty to Kraven and follow his orders almost perfectly. He is able to train two animals and then command them in unison and with flawless synchronization. Due to this skill, most people think he uses some sort of mind control.

Minor Occult Knowledge: During Kraven’s travels throughout the world, he came into contact with numerous tribes and civilizations. Thus he witnessed many of their rituals and has minor skills in their performance. He was able to recreate the Calypso serum for himself and his family.

Was endless the right word?!

Because that’s what it felt like.

Alright but let’s try and focus in on some of the things that will directly effect how we train.

Like these: superhuman strength, speed, stamina, durability, agility, and reflexes – as well as an experienced combatant.

We’re going to be training for a little bit of everything!
