We’re closing out the week with a couple more gigantic One Piece characters.
Our One Piece Inspired Workouts and larger Anime Workouts Database has been blowing up with popularity, so I’m going to keep them coming.
It also is perfect timing considering we just dropped our Unofficial One Piece Workout Booklet as well.
We have become pretty used to monster sized characters coming out of One Piece, but Kaido is on a whole new level compared to most characters we’ve seen.
Kaido is also one of The Most Powerful One Piece Characters of All Time – and you guys have been asking for him to his our databases for quite a bit now.
So it’s time to get HUGE.
But no cheating by picking all the answers in our One Piece Workout Placement Quiz that relate to becoming a giant behemoth like Kaido!
Kaido Stats:
Real Name: Kaido
Height: 23’4
Weight: N/A
Anime: One Piece
Powers: Yes
Kaido is absolutely ginormous.
We’ve seen one or two other anime characters that are just outrageously tall within our databases, and Kaido is joining them.
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.

Kaido 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.

Kaido 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 jump head first into our research for Kaido we’re going to be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page.
They start with a lot of information within his bio section, but it’s all pretty awesome so I won’t be making any cuts:
Kaidou of the Beasts, renowned as the world’s “Strongest Creature”, is the Governor-General of the Beasts Pirates and one of the Four Emperors ruling over the New World. He is also the father of Yamato.
From his base on Onigashima, Kaidou has occupied Wano Country along with his crew and once allied with Wano’s shogun, Kurozumi Orochi, until Kaidou decided to dispose of him for his New Onigashima Project. Decades ago before the formation of his own crew, Kaidou was an apprentice in the legendary Rocks Pirates, where he ate the rare Mythical Zoan fruit, the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu. He is currently in an alliance with his former Rocks crewmate and fellow Emperor, Big Mom.
Kaidou was first referred to by Monkey D. Garp in the Post-Enies Lobby Arc and then directly mentioned by Gecko Moria in the Thriller Bark Arc, with his status as one of the Four Emperors revealed after the Straw Hat Pirates defeated Moria. Thus, Kaidou is the third Emperor mentioned by name and the last to debut. Before he debuted in person, his voice was heard in a flashback that Kozuki Momonosuke had when first disembarking on Dressrosa.
He is the primary antagonist of the Wano Country Arc and one of the central antagonists of the Four Emperors Saga.
You read that right.
Kaido is known as the world’s “Strongest Creature”, so if it wasn’t already obvious that we’re going to be training around strength and size, I hope it is now.
When we move into his powers and abilities we learn even more about just how powerful Kaido is.
Here’s how they break it down to begin:
Befitting his muscle bulk, Kaidou is legendary for his supreme physical power as the strongest creature in the world. He is capable of swinging his kanabo hard enough to send a normal-sized person flying into the distance in one blow, and he broke past the tremendous defensive power of Luffy’s Gear Fourth with great ease. He once sunk nine enormous prison ships singlehandedly. Sengoku once said that even as a mere apprentice in the Rocks Pirates, Kaidou was able to earn respect his vicious companions through his strength alone.
The most remarkable, Kaidou possesses nigh-indestructible durability, even without using Busoshoku Haki. He took multiple powerful hits from Luffy’s Gear Third while in his dragon form and transformed back into his human form after being pummeled into the ground, and proceeded to receive a barrage of Gear Fourth hits that were even more powerful, yet he felt nothing more than annoyance, received no injuries, and was able to quickly get back up and counterattack without issue. This all changed once Luffy was able to improve his Busoshoku Haki from his training while in Udon and made Kaidou bleed with his newest Gear Third technique, which used advanced-grade Busoshoku Haki yet the damage was still low.
They continue on to talk about his incredible speed as well.
They say:
Despite his enormous size, Kaidou is extremely fast in combat and can move from one spot to another almost instantaneously. He completely blitzed Luffy in an instant while attacking him and appearing behind him afterwards. Another testament to his speed, he was fast enough to nearly once again blitz Luffy despite the latter perceiving the future using Kenbunshoku Haki, only barely avoiding a head-on attack.
And, just to get the full gist of his power, I also want to share a brief snippet about his Devil Fruit power as well:
Kaidou ate the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu, a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a full serpentine Azure Dragon and a human-dragon hybrid at will. His full Beast Form is massive, roughly half the size of a small town, with extremely durable, blue scales.
While we WILL be training around Kaido’s insane size, strength and speed – we WON’T be learning or training to unlock any abilities that allow us to turn into a human-dragon hybrid, unfortunately.
For this I’m going to be doing a bit of a mix by pulling from our Behemoth Program 90 Day System – and our 90 Day Systems have even been used to help train new U.S. Marines, so we won’t be messing around.
I’ll also be training around a bit of a powerlifting style with extra accessory work to really prioritize the strength gain.
So get ready for a ton of volume and heavy lifting!
