As I mentioned in our last article featuring inspiration pulled to create our Best Jeanist Workout: we now have our very own Mini Workout Database hosting all our My Hero Academia Inspired Workouts here at SHJ!
But I wanted to keep the ball rolling considering how much you guys are loving it.
With that I decided to do both Edgeshot and Best Jeanist in the same week having just recently had our Hawks Workout and Mirko Workout – which happen to be two of the top ranked MHA pros – to have enough to make us a fun listicle featuring all of them!
Even with our Anime Workout Database and mini-databases within, it still can be a bit overwhelming for new members of The SHJ Army, so listicles are always a fun addition!
Edgeshot Stats:
Real Name: Shinya Kamihara
Height: 5’7
Weight: N/A
Anime: My Hero Academia
Powers: Yes
Edgeshot is right around average height among anime males we’ve seen at SHJ.
Although he would definitely be considering way below average if we compared him to male celebrities.
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.

Edgeshot 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.

Edgeshot 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.
To get us started I want to start with Edgeshot’s bio from his Wiki Fandom page here:
Shinya Kamihara, also known as the Ninja Hero: Edgeshot, is the former No. 5 Pro Hero, and the current No. 4 Pro-Hero. He is also the leader of The Lurkers.
Considering we’ve seen so many My Hero Academia characters at this point we should be used to the severe lack of information with our favorite MHA characters bios.
To continue I want to jump right into Edgeshot’s Quirk: Foldabody.
Here’s how his Wiki Fandom explains it:
Foldabody: Edgeshot’s Quirk allows him to make his body and limbs extremely thin and long, effectively allowing him to transform himself into a razor-sharp string. He is able to transform faster than the speed of sound.
Edgeshot can use his Quirk to move around quickly, slip through tight spaces, and pierce targets by folding himself into sharp shapes.
On top of this Edgeshot is extremely smart.
They list his intelligence as one of his abilities as well, stating:
Tactical Intellect: Edgeshot has shown to be very intelligent, and possesses a strategic and analytical mind. When a horde of Nomus began to appear at the Villain’s Hideout, Edgeshot surmised that the unexpected Warping was being performed by somebody else, which was proven to be correct, in the form of All For One.
And even further they tell us a ton about his overall abilities.
Here’s a full excerpt from that:
Overall Abilities: Edgeshot was ranked 5th of Japan’s Pro Heroes, before taking the spot of No. 4 after All Might’s retirement. He fully mastered his Quirk, Foldabody, and incorporates his proficient Quirk handling into his ninja-style very well. Edgeshot flattens his body to pass through extremely tight spaces, including doors, creating secret passages. He can transform any section of his body at will, and often flattens it into multiple shapes to pierce his opponent’s organs. Edgeshot mainly uses his Quirk to strike quickly and incapacitate his opponents. He does this by folding his body into a thin blade that pierces his opponent’s body before they can even react. By cutting off the blood flow to their brain, Edgeshot can knock someone unconscious almost instantly. Edgeshot is also capable of fighting in mid-air by folding his body into a drill-like shape and maneuvering around his target.
As he is ranked highly, Edgeshot is a very powerful hero, which has been proven in his fight against the League of Villains. During the Kamino Incident Edgeshot swiftly pierced the bodies of both Kurogiri and a low-tier Nomu, cutting off the blood circulation to their brains, effectively incapacitating the villains. In Kurogiri’s case, Edgeshot incapacitated him before the former could warp anyone away. Magne noted how she couldn’t even fathom what happened because of the Ninja Hero’s speed. Much later, Edgeshot showcased his camaraderie and mettle by tag-teaming with Endeavor in order to help a struggling All Might subdue the immensely powerful All For One, and emerge unscathed. Most remarkably, he was able to singlehandedly defeat Re-Destro, the former leader of the Meta Liberation Army and an immensely powerful villain, while only retaining moderate injuries.
So clearly Edgeshot is extremely powerful.
The main thing we’ll be looking to work on for this routine is agility.
Edgeshot’s main power is his ability to turn his limbs into razor-sharp string and then he can essentially shoot that at a target and super speed.
With that he also moves around his opponents with parkour-like abilities.
For that reason we’ll be looking to work on agility paired with endurance and parkour training similar to our training to become Best Jeanist with a twist in how we go about achieving that agility and even overall physique.
Get ready.

Edgeshot Workout Routine
Training Volume:
3-5+ days per week
Explanation:
Similar to Best Jeanist’s training we’re going to be utilizing 3 days with weights and then two or more days devoted to parkour training. Instead of following three days revolving around PPL, though, we’re going to have three full body training days with high intensity interval training to finish us off and hit our core as well.
