It’s time for some Suicide Squad workout routines.
Starting with Bloodsport!
With the release of trailers and news of “The Suicide Squat” it only feels right we start preparing now. Bloodsport, who will be played by Idris Elba, is a soldier turned
Not many men can say they have put a Dent in the Man of Steel however, Bloodsport can say he put a HOLE in him!
Bloodsport is credited as the first human to ever shoot the Man of Steel himself.
Bloodsport Stats:
Real Name: Robert DuBoist
Height: 6’1
Weight: 231 lbs.
Comics: DC
Powers: No
Bloodsport is a big man. At just 6’1 his 231 pounds is MASSIVE.
To compare that, we know Dwayne Johnson is around 240 at 6’4!
Vegeta 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.

Bloodsport Diet and Nutrition
**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero, unless I mentioned differently (for example someone like 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 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.

Levi Ackerman Workout Routine Research
Now as you probably know, Mike usually calls this “the fun part”.
And, after writing a few of these superhero themed routines for the site I’m starting to understand why!
Since The Squad Suicide has a release date of 2021, we will be using the comic accurate Wiki to take a look at Bloodsport’s origin and his powerset.
His Comic Wiki states Bloodsports origin as follows:
Bobby DuBois is Bloodsport, a paramilitary-themed supervillain funded by Lex Luthor.
As a young man, Robert DuBois received his draft notice to fight for his country in Vietnam. DuBois was afraid to go however, and fled to Canada. His brother Mickey took Robert’s place and served in the war, tragically losing both of his arms and legs. This realization sent Robert DuBois over the edge and he spent the next twelve years bouncing around various Canadian psychiatric hospitals.
So technically speaking Bloodsport is a paramilitary-themed supervillain, BUT, he also dodged the draft and didn’t go to war.
That being said, multiple Wiki sources explain why Bloodsport took on this military persona, starting with our first Wiki page:
Luthor’s objectives went horribly awry however, as he failed to account for Robert’s psychological instability. Calling himself Bloodsport, DuBois imagined himself as a hard-edged Vietnam War veteran and went out in combat fatigues, slaughtering more than twenty-five innocent civilians just to draw Superman out.
Another variation includes this in his biography, which helps us learn more: “He is mentally ill and obsessed with the Vietnam War”.
The Wiki also adds:
Several years ago, Lex Luthor found DuBois and decided to use him as the instrument through which he could finally kill Superman. He secretly outfitted DuBois with a device that enabled him to teleport any weapon he could imagine directly into his hands. One of these weapons was a gun that fired needles of Green Kryptonite. Luthor’s scientists played on DuBois’ guilt and sent him out to track down Superman.
Bloodsport also doesn’t have any powers.
They list his abilities as such hand to hand combat and firearms, and the best comparison to a bigger named character we can make (although from Marvel, not DC like Bloodsport) would be Punisher.
The biggest of Bloodsports powers and abilities actually came from a piece of equipment that Lex Luthor supplied him (although Bloodsport never truly knew he was a pawn of Luthor’s game) which his Wiki describes as such:
Bloodsport possessed technology which enabled him to automatically summon any weapon he desired from a remote locale.
I won’t be able to teach you to do that!
BUT, we will be training for Bloodsport like mass in this one, so get to lift.
