We’re back for more My Hero Academia themed workout routines!
Apparently you guys love them that much.
We saw Deku, Asui, Shoto Todoroki, and Ochako Uraraka (having previously seen All Might), and then I jumped over to some Demon Slayer characters.
BUT, you guys came right back at me with two more “must have” My Hero Academia characters: Katsuki Bakugo and Mina Ashido.
Considering you guys are enjoying the anime themed workouts so much, I figure I’ll just keep them coming (having also seen JoJo and Dio from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure last week as well).
Katsuki Bakugo Stats:
Height: 5’7-5’8
Weight: 180 lbs.
Real Name: Katsuki Bakugo
Powers: Yes
Katsuki Bakugo’s height and weight isn’t listed on his main Wiki page like some of our other MHA characters.
But I was lucky enough to find some round-about stats on some other fandom profiles for him.
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 Morales only 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.
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.
Ronan and Sagat are 7’5, and 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.

Katsuki Bakugo 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!
Curious where over a hundred celebs fall in their dietary choices ranging from High Protein and Keto to Vegetarian, Vegan and Intermittent Fasting? Want exclusive celeb meal plans? Check this out.

Katsuki Bakugo 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 Katsuki Bakugo’s, powers and/or abilities.
We’ll start with a bit about his overall abilities and in turn, power level. Here’s what his Wiki Fandom starts with:
Overall Abilities: Katsuki has proven to be one of the strongest students in Class 1-A, earning 3rd place in the Quirk Apprehension Test, while placing first place in both the U.A. Entrance Exam, having the most villain points, and U.A. Sports Festival, although his last opponent, Shoto Todoroki, basically surrendered at the last moment. Katsuki’s fighting style is all-out offense, using his Quirk’s propulsive abilities to close the distance between him and his opponents, followed by a bombardment of close-range attacks that often start with a powerful right hook. Katsuki is able to use his Explosion to propel himself through mid-air, blind opponents, and release long-range blasts, among other applications. Explosion is a versatile Quirk, especially for battle situations, as the recoil caused by the blasts can be exploited by Katsuki for mobility purposes. His overall fighting style and Quirk handling are reminiscent to how Nejire Hado utilizes her Wave Motion Quirk.
During the U.S.J. Incident, Katsuki was able to single-handedly overpower and immobilize Kurogiri, a highly capable villain. At the Sports Festival, he was able to defeat Fumikage Tokoyami and Shoto Todoroki, who are also considered two of the strongest students in Class 1-A (although they had disadvantages respectively in their battles against Katsuki, they still proved to be strong despite their respective limitations).
And on top of his keen intellect, leadership skills and musical talent, his fandom also tells us about something that we’ll definitely have to focus on:
- Enhanced Strength: Katsuki possesses above-average physical strength, as he is can use his Grenade Bracers without any recoil, whereas Izuku nearly dislocated his arm just from using one. Katsuki was also able to use his physical strength to go toe-to-toe with Izuku when the latter is using his Quirk at 5-8%.
His actual quirk isn’t something we can build around, but there’s definitely a lot that he has to utilize to work around it that we can take.
For example, his versatile fighting style comes from his Quirk’s abilities to send him flying all over the place while shooting off his grenades and explosions.
For this we’ll be subbing our own version, which will be a Parkour ability.
His enhanced strength is something else we’ll obviously be focusing on by having our actual in-gym training session revolve around building muscle and strength.
Our Parkour and cardio might hinder this ever so slightly, but it’ll be worth it to become as well rounded as Bakugo in the long run!
Get ready.

Katsuki Bakugo Workout Routine
Training Volume:
5-6 days per week
Explanation:
This routine revolves around building strength 4 days of the week and then Parkour training another 1-2 days per week to make yourself as versatile as Bakugo. The main portion will come to replicate his enhanced strength, but the cardio and calisthenics from the Parkour training will definitely help to lean you out like Bakugo as well.

deberias ponerle imagenes porque no se a que ejercicios te refieres
🙁
They’re very simple and easy movements that can all be Googled. If I put images for every single movement and all THOUSANDS of workouts on the site it would move so low it would be virtually at a snail’s pace and I wouldn’t be able to write as many workouts as I do for people.
doesnt muscles needs time to recovery? so why calisthenics and parkour trainings for Wednesday and Saturday
The calisthenics/parkour training isn’t that intense, but with a high volume routine like this you need 8-10 hours of sleep to give your body the time to recover. I personally prefer training 3-4 days a week, but used to train 6 with great results. It really comes down to how you want to scale it.
thanks for this! I love all of these character workouts, they’re really motivating. 🙂
i am going to be just like Katsuki Bakugo!
