Each week we’ve been sticking to a mini-theme here to go with our Unofficial Workout Booklet launches, and this week we’re hitting JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
And how could we do that without Gappy?
We’ve seen some of The Most Powerful JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Characters, and while Gappy didn’t quite make the cut, he is one of the most popular characters among all of the JoJo Universe.
He’s going to definitely be a great addition to our JoJo Inspired Workouts, larger Anime Workouts Database, and even our new JoJo Workout Placement Quiz!
But, he won’t be the only awesome JoJo character that makes it to SHJ this week!
Gappy Stats:
Real Name: Josefumi Kujo
Height: 6’0-6’2
Weight: 140-160 lbs.
Anime: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
Powers: Yes
Gappy’s height and weight are guesstimates compared to other characters, but they do fall into a range fitting of his slender appearance.
Although his height does make him slightly above average when compared to other anime male characters we’ve seen.
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.

Gappy 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.

Gappy 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.
Getting right into it, to start our research into Gappy, we’re going to be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page:
The tentatively-named Josuke Higashikata is the protagonist of JoJolion. He is the eighth JoJo of the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure series.
Josuke is a young man afflicted with retrograde amnesia, lacking any memories prior to being discovered by Yasuho Hirose near the Wall Eyes in Morioh Town. He dedicates himself to discovering his former identity and those originally associated with him.
Josuke’s original identity was that of Josefumi Kujo, and became his current self after fusing with the man Yoshikage Kira. Josuke is a Stand User and retains his original identity’s Soft & Wet.
This can be a bit confusing, BUT that’s why we’re breaking it down here.
When we move into his powers and abilities they start us off with:
Soft & Wet is Josuke’s Stand. Initially belonging to Josefumi, Josuke retains it after the fusion with Kira, albeit with some minor differences.
Its primary ability (“Plunder”) is to steal some aspect or property of a target; to be contained in one or more small soap bubbles (bearing the image of his birthmark), which may be returned or transferred to other objects. This ability has been used both offensively and strategically. Soft & Wet also demonstrates above-average strength, and the capacity for rapid melee attack common to humanoid Stands.
They continue this breakdown by stating:
Like him, Josuke’s Stand is described as a fusion of Yoshikage Kira’s Killer Queen and the original Soft & Wet belonging to Josefumi Kujo.
During his fight with Yotsuyu Yagiyama, Josuke decides to “use [his] soap bubbles for offense rather than defense…” Soft & Wet is shown to be able to surround and contain objects by creating a soap bubble and punching it into said object. The bubble bursts but then reforms around the target; Josuke is then able to make the bubble and object inside float anywhere he wants to, just like his regular soap bubbles.
By combining strikes with his bubbles, he is able to ‘inject’ one of his soap bubbles into the flesh of his opponents, causing superficial damage when he pops them. The explosive property of the bubbles was first demonstrated against the A. Phex Brothers, and described by them as being very similar to Kira’s ability.
On top of all this they also mention that Gappy is extremely smart and has great hand to hand combat skills.
Considering he’s not our big a jacked Joestar like Jonathan, Joseph or Jotaro – we’re actually going to be sticking to calisthenics for this one.
That should be good to get the lean and toned physique that we see him with.
For this we’re going to be scaling down our Assassin Calisthenics 90 Day System (which has even been used to train new U.S. Marines) severly – to more of a beginner-intermediate level.
So get ready for some moderate intensity, but scaled accordingly for beginners to use as well!
