Raiden Tameemon Workout: Train like Humanity’s Fifth Round Rep!

Last updated on October 7th, 2022 at 08:26 pm

Next up in our Record of Ragnarok Inspired Workouts is Raiden Tameemon!

Another fan favorite, you guys had TONS of requests coming in for humanity’s fifth round representative.

I’ll tell you in advance that we’re definitely training with weights for this one, and we’ll also be hitting a ton of ab work as well!

Abs are usually made in the kitchen, and while we can’t just expect to get a 112 pack like Raiden, we need to at least pay homage to his character with an insane core.

Raiden came in among our runner ups among our most powerful Record of Ragnarok characters breakdown, but he definitely comes in as one of the most popular.

He’ll make a great addition to our ROR Quiz once it’s fully added to our Anime Workout Placement Quizzes.

Raiden Tameemon Stats:

Real Name: Raiden Tameemon

Height: N/A

Weight: N/A

Anime: Record Of Ragnarok

Powers: Yes

Raiden is humongous. 

We may not have an exact height and weight for him, but we do know he’s massive.

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.

Raiden Tameemon 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.

Raiden Tameemon 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 Raiden Tameemon I’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page, starting with this:

Raiden Tameemon, birth name Tarōkichi Seki, was Humanity’s representative in the fifth round of Ragnarok, going up against Shiva.

Raiden Tameemon, also known as the “Peerless Rikishi” has the strongest muscles in the history of mankind and was a famous Japanese sumo wrestler; considered to be the best of all time.

Although Raiden was a famous Japanese sumo wrestler, we’re not going to be training to achieve the skills of one.

We’re going to be training around the Raiden we see in Record of Ragnarok, with his absolutely chiseled abs and enormous physique.

If we move down into his abilities we can start by learning about his overall abilities which are shared on his Fandom as follows:

Overall Abilities: Even from an early age, Raiden had extraordinary strength that needed to suppressed at all times in order for him to survive, but even with the limited access to his full strength, he managed to ingrain his name into history as the greatest sumo wrestler to ever live. Raiden also is said to have the strongest muscles in all of Human history.

So basically we’re dealing with a Yujiro Hanma type character of the Record of Ragnarok world.

Which means we’re actually going to be training around strength as a primary goal, but will need to also make sure we’re training around aesthetics as well considering how shredded Raiden is.

If we continue on to Raiden’s physical abilities they break down a long list as follows:

Godlike Strength: He managed to stun Shiva with just two consecutive blows to the head, causing the Hindu God of Destruction to spit up blood. After removing the 100 Seals, his latent force was released, allowing him to fight Shiva at full capacity. Even without the 100 Seals, Raiden’s blows manage to seriously injure Shiva despite him blocking with all four arms, eventually throwing him backwards with the sheer force and dazing him for a long time by hitting him in the gourd. Raiden was also capable of crushing one of Shiva’s arms by concentrating his latent power into his grip.

Godlike Speed & Reflexes: Raiden gave the first blow of the fight by dropkicking Shiva in the face and, after blocking his first punch, quickly countered with that of his own before Shiva could react. Upon releasing his latent strength, the force of Raiden’s jump enabled him to reach Shiva in an instant and overwhelm him with a sequence of strikes that hurled the God backwards before finishing with a powerful blow to the head that the Hindu deity couldn’t block. Then, after taking a barrage of Shiva’s punches, Raiden quickly recovered from the blows and grabbed one of Shiva’s arms before he even noticed; crushing it instantly. He can also become even faster through the utilization of the muscle manipulation ability granted to him by his Völundr.

Immense Durability: Raiden withstood two extremely powerful punches from Shiva that hurled him upwards with little to no apparent damage. He also endured a volley of punches from Shiva with all four of his arms, suffering little damage and even managed to recover quickly afterwards by grabbing onto one of the God’s other arms.

Immense Endurance & Stamina: Raiden continued to fight against Shiva, even through the pain of his uncontrollable muscles and the God of Destruction’s relentless attacks which caused him severe injuries. Even when Shiva burned his flesh, he continued fighting on.

Muscle Control: As a young child, Raiden was able to manipulate his muscles to a degree, creating the 100 Seals so as to prevent his own muscles from constantly breaking his bones whenever he used them. After forming a Völundr with Thrud, Raiden could manipulate his muscles to a much greater degree, allowing him to freely control his physical strength. Raiden is even capable of shifting the mass of his muscles throughout his entire body, allowing him to focus his muscles into certain areas in order to increase the offensive and defensive power of specific body parts.

The Godlike Speed and Reflexes will thankfully comes from our Godlike Strength training, so that pair will go nicely together – but we’ll need to find a way to also work around Immense Stamina and Endurance, which will likely be something we want to tie in while working on our fat loss portion of this (to stay shredded).

So to go over exactly what we’re working with for this one here’s what we have:

• Massive Shredded Physique like Raiden
• Lean and STRONG Core like Raiden
• Godlike Strength
• Godlike Speed
• Immense Endurance (secondary goal)
