Dragon Ball Z Workouts are some of the Top Anime Inspired Workouts here at SHJ.
We learned recently in our Top Ten Anime Inspired Workout Routines listicle (which happened to be SHJ User Choice) that Dragon Ball Z and My Hero Academia basically dominate the arena here.
But now it’s time to add to that list and grow our DBZ database a bit more.
With the release of our Anime Workout Themed Booklet I wanted to make sure we know where we stand, and now we’ve confirmed it.
When I saw the recent request come through for Master Roshi I was actually a little disappointed in myself that I’ve let it go this far without acknowledging the master himself!
So now it’s time to amend that with his very own slot here at SHJ.
Master Roshi Stats:
Real Name: Master Roshi
Height: 5’5
Weight: 97 lbs.
Anime: Dragon Ball Z
Powers: Yes
I like to think I’d be a perfect cosplay for Master Roshi with his muscles unleashed.
Know what I’m sayin’?
Wolverine was 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.

Master Roshi 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.

Master Roshi 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.
For this one we’re going to start right off with some information about how awesome Master Roshi is.
For that we’ll pull right from his Wiki Fandom:
Master Roshi, also known as the Turtle Hermit and God of Martial Arts, is a master of martial arts, who trained Gohan, Ox-King, Goku, Krillin, and Yamcha. He has a sister named Fortuneteller Baba. He is also a hermit and a pervert.
I mean that brief bio is just too good.
I keep it brief there because they really extend on the information that goes into his strength and abilities.
Here’s what they tell us:
Master Roshi is among one of the strongest humans in history, and the strongest fighter of his generation. A legendary champion of the World Martial Arts Tournament, simply knowing that students of his were competing in the said tournament left all spectators in awe. Despite his advanced age reducing his natural stamina and endurance while also reducing his peak performance, he makes up for it with super efficiency both physically and mentally, able to easily read his opponent’s movements and battle tactics, allowing him to move with minimal needed effort. His experience and intuition have honed his natural instincts to become fully aware of his surroundings to the point practically being able to move against threats automatically. A grandmaster of all martial arts and hand-to-hand combat styles, along with their respective techniques and skills, Roshi is an outstandingly versatile fighter and tactician, able to quickly see through an opponent’s skills and effortlessly change his own methods to best suit the situation. At the same time, he is deceptively strong for his frail-form, able to move at blazing speeds and move massive structures with his bare hands, all while at base power. During his battle with Goku at the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament he still managed to barely beat his student even after having used up almost all of his energy to destroy the moon. In the 22nd tournament, after getting serious and bulking up somewhat he was a match for Tien Shinhan. Once he outputs his absolute maximum might, he was capable of destroying the moon and it was believed by the likes of Yamcha and Krillin that he could kill Great Ape Goku with one Kamehameha. Roshi notes that his perverted ways had held him back all these years, and that putting the energy he once used for them towards combat had greatly increased his power and skill. In the anime, he also stated that Goku and Krillin’s battles had taught him to go beyond his limit.
And his Comic Vine page has an overwhelming long list of abilities as well, but for this we’ll be focusing on on:
- Superhuman Strength
- Superhuman Speed
- Superhuman Agility
- Superhuman Endurance
- Unarmed Combat
For this we’ll be utilizing a mixture of weights and calisthenics to really enhance our sized to become Master Roshi full power!
Think you can handle it?!
