Re-Destro Workout Routine: Train like Grand Commander of the Meta Liberation Army!

Re-Destro is SUCH a cool character and villain.

He became even cooler after battling another fan-favorite villain: Shigaraki!

Shigaraki came in as number four and Re-Destro came in on our runner ups on our list of The Most Powerful My Hero Academia Characters – and Re-Destro didn’t quite make our list of the most popular My Hero Academia characters, but his popularity continues to increase as people catch up on the series.

Soon we’re going to have to make a list of the most powerful villains! 

Either way I’m sure The SHJ Army will be super excited to get Re-Destro as an answer on The My Hero Academia Workout Placement Quiz.

Re-Destro Stats:

Real Name: Rikiya Yotsubashi

Height: N/A (Listed as “Tall”)

Weight: N/A (But Muscular)

Anime: My Hero Academia

Powers: Yes

There’s no exact listing for Re-Destro’s height and weight, but we do know he’s fairly tall.

We also know he could be as big as some of our behemoths within our Anime Workout Database with his quirk.

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.

Re-Destro 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.

Re-Destro 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 learn more about Re-Destro we’re going to be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page, which leads us off with:

Rikiya Yotsubashi, also known by his alias Re-Destro, is the President and CEO of the Detnerat Company, a lifestyle support company, and was also the Grand Commander of the modern Meta Liberation Army, which he ran in secret. He is also the descendant of the infamous villain Destro and the primary antagonist of the Meta Liberation Army Arc.

Rikiya later merged his organization with the League of Villains to form a union known as the Paranormal Liberation Front. He stepped down as leader to give the position of Grand Commander to Tomura Shigaraki and became one of the group’s nine lieutenants.

Part of Re-Destro’s power is going to come from his influence over the Meta Liberation Army, but he’s also extremely powerful.

Here’s how they break down his overall abilities before we even discuss his Quirk: Stress:

Overall Abilities: Being the leader of the Meta Liberation Army, Rikiya is a highly respected and powerful individual, with a very proficient handle on his Meta Ability. When facing the formidable villain Twice backed by clones of the League of Villains whom the latter created using his Quirk, Double, Rikiya stood in place and nonchalantly defeated most of Twice’s clones almost instantly. In his Stress form, Rikiya was easily able to overpower Tomura, the headmen of the League, as well as destroy most of the latter’s left hand. Even when Tomura was undergoing an awakening and an increase in physical aptitude, Rikiya was still able to best Tomura; by taking his Meta ability to a higher output, Rikiya sent Tomura flying across Deika City.

Since losing his legs to Tomura, Rikiya has been forced to wear prosthetics. These legs struggle to hold the full weight of his Stress Quirk, as shown during his clash with Tsukuyomi when the latter managed to overpower Rikiya after his legs snapped. This happened later, during his fight against Edgeshot.

• Enhanced Durability: Re-Destro possesses great endurance as he was able to survive the fall caused by Tomura destroying his tower and emerged from it unharmed. This feat made Tomura realize he was the leader from his survival and causal ignorance of the act. Even his clone could withstand many heroes’ attacks, despite being less durable than the original.
• Enhanced Reflexes: Even without his quirk active, Re-Destro is fast, agile and reactionary enough to dodge multiple assaults from many of the remaining clones with catlike finesse.

As I mentioned, they also go on to talk more about his powers that come from his tactical intellect, the fact that he’s a corporate CEO, and his leadership skills – but for the sake of this workout we’ll be moving directly into his Quirk: Stress.

Here’s what they tell us about that:

Stress: Rikiya’s Meta Ability allows him to store up any fear, anger and/or frustration he feels and convert it into raw power. When Re-Destro accesses this meta ability, his size and strength increase significantly.

Due to him having to contain his stress in order to fully use his Meta Ability in combat, it has the side effect of him developing early male pattern baldness.

• Enhanced Strength: Thanks to the use of his Meta Ability, Rikiya gains a massive increase in physical strength. A lone finger was enough to destroy a Double of Twice and his hulking arm annihilated several League of Villains clones with a simple swing of his arm, the force of which generating a shockwave as a result. Rikiya was even able to effortlessly destroy the majority of Tomura’s left hand with two of his enlarged fingers.
• Enhanced Speed: By activating his Quirk only on a single finger, Rikiya was able to attack fast enough to completely destroy a clone of Twice before he could react. When he used his Quirk on his entire arm he was able to unleash an attack fast enough to destroy multiple clones of Twice and other members of the League of Villains, with the exception of Tomura Shigaraki.

So clearly we’re going to be training to become massive, but we’ll also be training to be fast and for a super lean and muscular aesthetic like we see Re-Destro show off in the show.

That means you need to be ready to lift heavy weight, because lucky for us – the speed will come with it.

Explanation:

For this one we’re going to be lifting HEAVY. We’ll still tack on some endurance work, but the main portion of this is going to be powerlifting and working around compound lifts.
