This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Sung Jinwoo at SHJ.
He was requested so much he became our first ever character to hit SHJ that was from a webcomic (that was yet to be made into a manga or anime).
Our original Sung Jinwoo Inspired Workout is based around weight training (albeit nothing too intense), and tones of people have utilized it with some amazing results, but we also have a ton of people in The SHJ Army that are our bodyweight trainers asking for a calisthenics version.
So here we are!
It’s time to train to level up like Sung Jinwoo, but this time strictly with bodyweight movements!
Sung Jinwoo Stats:
Real Name: Sung Jinwoo
Height: (approximate fan guessimate) 6โ1
Weight: N/A
Manga:ย Solo Leveling
Powers: Yes
Sung Jinwoo is actually pretty tall – nearing the point of being considered a behemoth among our Anime Workouts Database – yet just missing the mark.
Although he’d technically be right around average height if we compare him to male superheroes and celebrities.
Wolverineย was the shortest spot among comic characters weโve seen at 5โ3, prior to theย Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesย coming in at 5โ2, (andย Gimliย even shorter) โ butย Damian Wayneย (Robin) is only 5โ4.ย ย Gokuย isnโt that tall either, though, standing only 5โ7, withย Miles Moralesย only an inch above him.
One Punch Manย falls in at 5โ9 right there withย Ryu,ย Nightwingย at 5โ10, and thenย Spider-Man,ย Daredevil, andย Green Arrowย coming in around 5โ11 andย Beastย joining them.
Weโve hadย Supermanย and Eddie Brockโsย Venomย at 6โ3, andย Captain America,ย Scorpionย andย Batmanย at 6โ2, and Carnage at 6โ1.ย Thorย andย Cyborgย are towering over them at 6โ6,ย Thanosย andย Kingย right there with them at 6โ7,ย Baneย at 6โ8, andย Deathstrokeย right below at 6โ5, andย Black Mantaย at 6โ4.
Ronanย andย Sagatย are 7โ5, andย Doomsdayย came in at 8โ10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.
But, donโt worry if youโre not the same height or weight range.
We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.

Sung Jinwoo 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 donโt think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.
You canโt out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.
You can start by checking outย The Nutrition Pillarsย on the site, but Iโll break down some more information for you guys as well.
Guys likeย Dwayne Johnsonย andย Kevin Hartย incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals,ย Hugh Jackman,ย Tom Hopper,ย Benedict Cumberbatchย andย Terry Crewsย utilizeย intermittent fastingย (something I use daily as well),ย Ariana Grande,ย Mustafa Shakirย andย Madelaine Petschย areย vegans,ย Brandon Routhย andย Frank Grilloย opt forย paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.
Itโs all about sustainability.
AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is whatโs important.
Which is why ourย Academyย 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?ย Check this out.

Sung Jinwoo Calisthenics Routine Research
Weโve made it to โthe fun partโ.
And, if you donโt know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.
To learn more about Sung Jinwoo to be able to build out this routine weโre going to be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page, which leads us off with this bio for him:
Sung Jinwooย is the main protagonist ofย Solo Leveling. Originally an infamously weak E-Rank Hunter, he got the chance of a lifetime when he was selected as the Player of theย System, giving him the unique ability to grow in strength without restraint. As a result, by taking advantage of the opportunities offered to him by the System, Jinwoo eventually rose to power as humanityโs greatest hunter and the second Shadow Monarch.
In terms of his appearance, which we normally donโt cover considering we usually have ample amount of pictures and see the characters in the anime, they give us this for Jinwoo:
Jinwoo is a handsome and muscular young man with gray eyes, black hair, and sharp facial features. When using his powers or agitated, his eyes glow bright purple. He is almost always seen wearing dark colors, particularly black.
When we then move into his abilities we can really start to see what weโre going to be training around, although we already know weโre going to have to factor in the fact that Jinwoo is big and muscular.
Hereโs how they start off his abilities section:
As the vessel of the Shadow Monarch, Jinwoo is the strongest hunter in the world and completely outclasses the sevenย Rulersโ vessels in raw power.
From there he has a LONG list of abilities.
We wonโt be able to use all of it to build out our routine, but Iโm going to break down the full list:
- Immense Strength:ย Jinwoo possesses incomparably immense levels of physical strength. As a testament to this, he was able to quash theย Statue of God, beatย Thomas Andreย to the brink of death while still holding back, kill theย Beast Monarchย in four hits, and sliceย Antaresย almost completely in half during their fight.
- Immense Durability:ย Jinwoo possesses incomparably immense levels of physical durability.
- Armor Creation:ย By concentrating his powers around himself, Jinwoo can generate jet-black armor onto his body.
- Immunity:ย If Jinwoo is affected by a debuff, this buff automatically removes it from his status, as displayed when it prevented him from being stunned by Baranโs lightning breath attack.
- Detoxification:ย If Jinwoo is poisoned, this buff automatically purges the said poison from his body, as displayed when it was able to almost instantly cleanse him of the Ant Kingโs paralysis poison. However, as the System detects alcohol as a poison, Jinwoo canโt get drunk.
- Tenacity:ย If Jinwooโs health falls below 30%, this buff reduces all further damage taken by 50% in an attempt to keep him alive.
- Longevity:ย Jinwoo is immune to all diseases, poisonous substances, and any abnormalities to his status. This buff also grants him a regenerative healing factor, which accelerates exponentially when he sleeps.
- Stealth:ย Jinwoo is able to camouflage with his surroundings and hide all traces of presence, essentially turning himself both physically and magically invisible.
- Bloodlust:ย Jinwoo is able to magically intimidate a target into submission.
- Quicksilver:ย Jinwoo is able to increase his speed by 30% for a short burst.
- Mutilation:ย Jinwoo rips a target to shreds with his daggers. Due to his immense strength, most targets suffer grievous injuries on the first strike.
- Dagger Rush:ย Jinwoo barrages a target with his daggers from all directions.
- Rulerโs Authority:ย Jinwoo is able to move and control objects via telekinesis.
- Dragonโs Fear:ย Jinwoo is able to release a mana-infused shout from his soul that drives anyone weaker than him into a state of intense despair and panic.
- Shadow Extraction:ย Jinwoo is able to extract shadows from the corpses of his enemies and add them to his army.
- Shadow Preservation:ย Jinwoo is able to preserve his shadows in storage and monitor them by perceiving their senses.
- Shadow Exchange:ย Jinwoo is able to use shadows as portals to travel vast distances in an instant.
- Monarchโs Domain:ย Jinwoo is able to buff the strength of all of his active shadows by 50% in battle.
In the our original Sung Jinwoo Workout, which was built around weight training, we focused in on his immense strength as the number one goal of our routine.
For this one we will still make it a primary focus, but we’ll be doing that with calisthenics training.
So the goals for our Sung Jinwoo Inspired Calisthenics Workout are as follows:
- Sung Jinwoo’s Lean and Toned Muscular Aesthetic
- Sung Jinwoo’s Immense Strength
- Sung Jinwoo’s Hunter Endurance
We’ll be following a similar structure to our original routine, but this time with strictly bodyweight training to be able to accomplish it.
This one will be intermediate to advanced level, so if you want to scale down you can, or you can even start with our Beginner Ninja Workout if needed.
