The last few weeks we’ve been bringing in new animes to grow our Anime Workouts Database.

Last week we saw some more Seven Deadly Sins and finished off our Top Ten Naruto Workouts, but prior to that we had our first characters from Blue Exorcist, Black Clover, and Kakegurui.

But now it’s time for some Gurren Lagann!

We won’t be starting off with Simon, although I may eventually bring his older character to SHJ, but instead we’re starting off with Kamina and Yoko Littner!

We’ll go over exactly how we’re building out these routines, specifically Kamina (obviously) for this one, in the research section below, but I think there is definitely some fun to be had even outside of their Mechs.

Maybe even with a sword involved…

Kamina Stats:

Real Name: Kamina

Height: 6′

Weight: 163 lbs.

Anime: Gurren Lagann

Powers: No

Kamina is actually fairly tall, especially compared to most Anime characters we’ve seen.

And at 163 lbs. he’s super lean and cut; showing off his abs and chest at all times.

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.

Kamina 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.

Kamina 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’ll be mainly working around Kamina’s physique and fighting experience.

Before I give you the description of his character I’ll start us off with a brief bio from his Wiki Fandom:

Kamina was a young man from Jeeha Village, the founder and first leader of Team Gurren and deuteragonist of the first arc of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

Super brief, but don’t worry, we’re going to dig deeper.

They also give us some good information about his physique appearance:

Kamina is tall and well built, and prides himself on being “manly and tough.” He has short, blue, spiky hair and is frequently seen wearing his trademark red sunglasses that cover his red eyes. His skin is tan, and he has blue-ish tattoos along both of his arms which extend to his shoulders and his upper back. As he holds his sword with him, his symbol of rebellion.

Kamina also has his sword.

Here’s what they tell us about his weaponry:

Kamina originally had a nodachi (his sword), that he had stolen from the Jeeha village chief. In Episode 2, Kamina used a pistol given to him by Gadunka, and in Episode 3, he used her rifle to hunt animals. During his fight with Viral, he used his Nodachi, and a hidden arrow that he had picked up from an animal Viral shot, as well as some assistance from Simon and Gadunka. Kamina’s most valuable weapons were the Gurren and Gurren Lagann. Originally, Kamina couldn’t pilot the Gurren as well as a Beastman, which put him at a disadvantage: Viral could easily beat him one on one until Gurren Lagann was formed. However, thanks to training with Simon, by Episode 8, he had mastered the controls and was an ace pilot.

And, aside from his mech and sword he also has his other abilities.

Here’s what they list for his skills:

Expert Physical Fighter: As shown a number of times, Kamina’s fighting skills are well above those of normal humans. He was able to fight Viral one on one with his Nodachi and, while injured, landed a blow on Viral. He also is shown to be a good fist fighter: one of his punches caused Simon to almost flip over in his seat.

Quick Learner

Mastermind

Endurance and Reflexes

Fighting Spirit

Spiral Power

I cut the majority of the “extra” text but left the information about his expert physical fighting.

Kamina doesn’t have a weight room to train, so we’ll be using calisthenics, cardio, a small amount of weights to act as his sword and gear, and some optional mixed martial arts training to get his physique.

Get ready for some high volume and intensity.
