I really wanted to keep us going by adding more Jojos to our Anime Workouts Database, but you guys pushed for some villains as well!
But, don’t worry, we’ll DEFINITELY be getting more Jojos as well.
We’ve already seen quite a few, and even added our Giorno Giovanna Inspired Workout this week – but now we’re prepping to work our way into a list of The Most Powerful Jojo Characters of All Time!
From there I even want to be able to get a mini-workout-database and a Workout Placement Quiz up for you guys considering we’ll have quite a few Jojo Inspired Workouts for you guys to choose from.
Quizzes and mini-databases are always nice for being able to sort through some of the best workouts in any given series.
Kars Stats:
Real Name: Kars
Height: 6’8
Weight: N/A
Anime: Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure
Powers: Yes
Kars is huge.
He comes in at a stature that we’re more used to seeing compared to our Jojo characters like Jonathan and Jotaro – and we can assume his weight is pushing 300 lbs. at 6’8 with the amount of muscle he has.
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.

Kars Diet and Nutrition
**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero.**
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.

Kars 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 on our Kars research we’re going to be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page.
They start off his initial bio section with this:
Kars is the main antagonist of Part 2, Battle Tendency.
Kars is the leader of the Pillar Men, and the designer of the Stone Mask. His goal is to evolve further to become immune to the sun’s rays, and thus he seeks the Red Stone of Aja to empower his Masks, battling the Ripple users for its possession. He is ranked 1st out of all the Pillar Men.
As the creator of the Stone Masks and Vampires, Kars is one of the more influential characters in the series, his invention having far reaching repercussions for a number of major characters, such as Dio Brando, the Joestar Family and the Zeppeli Family.
Kars is extremely powerful.
When they move into his powers and abilities section they begin by telling us about the powers we likely won’t be able to utilize in our training but are worth mentioning to gauge the overall power he has:
Light Mode or Brilliant Bone Blade: Kars’ power is that of light; he is able to produce bladed appendages from his arms and legs and use these to reflect blinding light toward his enemies. The light comes from the tiny, shark teeth-like claws running along the edge of the blade much like a chainsaw. It is from the reflections of these claws that gives Kars’ Light Slip Blades their shining intensity. In this mode, Kars’ blades are sharp enough to cut through most objects, including an automobile and several bullets at blinding speeds.
Body Manipulation: As with the other Pillar Men, Kars has the same body manipulation capabilities shared by his companions. Once he becomes the Ultimate Being, Kars’ shapeshifting abilities are enhanced with access to the genetic code of all of Earth’s known life forms along with reactive evolution. As a result, previous Pillar Man abilities like absorption become functionally obsolete.
Ultimate Form Abilities: As the Ultimate Life Form, Kars acquires multiple abilities and skills:
- Biology Manipulation: As the Ultimate Life Form, Kars’ body contains the DNA of every organism to ever live on the Earth. He can manipulate his entire body on a cellular level to gain the traits of any life-form. He can even detach parts of himself and transform them into separate organisms that act independently of himself, such as turning his hand into a flesh-eating squirrel or turning his feathers into armadillo-scale projectiles that morph into piranhas and octopus tentacles to bring down Joseph’s plane.
- Flight: By transforming his arms into bird-like wings, Kars can fly through the air at close to 240 km/h.
- Reactive Evolution: Kars can also alter his body to withstand extreme conditions, as seen when he evolved a continuous layer of inorganic porous material to survive being submerged in magma.
From there they go into some powers we’re more used to see here at SHJ that are a bit further outside the Jojo Universe:
- Superhuman Intelligence: Kars is an extremely intelligent and cunning individual, even by the high standards of his species. He was the one who created the Stone Mask, studying the Pillar Men’s brains to unlock untapped power. In battle, Kars is methodical and observant, able to analyze the enemy’s plan and plan accordingly with cunning and ruthlessness. Kars has also mastered his godly powers quickly, using the power of Earth’s fauna and even its most obscure properties to his advantage. In every setback, Kars manages to quickly find a counter or a way to exploit it and reverse the situation. After he transforms into the Ultimate Life Form, his IQ is stated to be 400; a level far, far higher than that of even the most intelligent human.
- Superhuman Senses: Kars can sense the heat and air pressure around him by forming antennae. His vision is akin to an astronomical telescope, and he is able to hear anything from whale calls to bat screams.
- Superhuman Strength: Kars possesses incredible strength, which we have seen him go up to 900 kg/cm2.
- Regeneration: Kars can heal any wound in a short period of time.
- Immortality: Kars is invincible, immortal, and nigh indestructible. He does not age, is self-sustaining, and is described as more beautiful than a Greek sculpture. Additionally, his previous weakness to UV light is completely negated, along with his weakness to Hamon.
We’re not going to be training for immortality, regeneration (unless you count recovering from our workouts) or sense – and intelligence is on you – BUT we will be training around superhuman strength AND Kars’ insane physique.
That means we’re going to be getting a weightlifting routine that focuses on getting STRONG, BIG and LEAN!
Check out all The SHJ Programs and start unleashing your inner SuperHuman.
Kars Workout Routine
Training Volume:
4 days per week
Explanation:
For this one we’re going to be training revolving around a 4 day split that works around all our major compound lifts. You’ll have the option to tack on additional training using some SHJ resources, but you only need 4 days for this one being that we’ll be lifting heavy and at a high volume and will want all the recovery you can get to allow your muscles to grow!
The Superhero Academy now comes with an Upgrade Your Workout Tool that allows Academy members to turn any SHJ workout into a 4-8 week fully planned regime detailing exact weights to lift and including reverse & tradition pyramid training, straight sets, super sets, progressive overload and more.
