Next up among our JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Inspired Workouts is Bruno Bucciarati!
Originally I had a couple other characters in mind to fill this spot, but you guys made it clear you want Bruno next!
This one will be pretty fun because we’ll be able to get another calisthenics workout into the mix to get a little closer to having a perfect mix of both.
It’s also fun to see that you guys have requested so many skinny characters and not strictly the behemoths we’re used to seeing in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
Although, don’t get me wrong, the behemoths made up the majority of the initial requests.
Bruno Bucciarati Stats:
Real Name: Bruno Bucciarati
Height: 5’10
Weight: N/A
Anime: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
Powers: Yes
We don’t get a precise weight for Bruno, but we do know that he’s fairly tall compared to other male anime characters.
He’s not quite up there with the tallest we’ve seen at SHJ – but he does come in above average.
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.

Bruno Bucciarati 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.

Bruno Bucciarati 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 Bruno I’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page which starts us off with:
Bruno Buccellati is the deuteragonist of Vento Aureo. He is a mobster and the leader of his own squad within the powerful Neapolitan gang, Passione.
Sent out to track whoever attacked Leaky-Eye Luca and debuting as Giorno Giovanna’s opponent, Buccellati becomes the first to lend meaningful support to Giorno in his ascension in Passione’s ranks.
Buccellati is also a Stand User who wields Sticky Fingers in battle.
This doesn’t tell us much about how we’ll be building a workout routine around Bruno, especially being that Stands aren’t necessarily the best to build workouts around, but it does get us started into a bit of his background to due his character some justice it deserves.
From there we can move into his abilities, and they break down his intelligence, lie detection, undead and physical strength.
There’s a clear winner for which one is going to be most useful for us.
You guessed it: his physical strength. And we’ll start there. This is what they tell us for it:
Despite his slim build, Bruno is likely one the strongest humans in the series. The best example of his brute strength kicking Pesci so hard he nearly shattered a train window. Other examples include, killing two adults with a knife at a young age, having the likes of Narancia fear and respect him, and overpowering Giorno to the point of drawing blood.
You read that right: “one of the strongest humans in the series”!
That means we’ll definitely be working around a ton of progressive overload for this one within our calisthenics training and even moving into some more advanced lifts.
For that we’ll add in some of the gymnast training we’ve had here on the site on top of training we’ve utilized with a ton of success for stockier, more jacked (and strong) characters.
That leaves us with our main goals for our Bruno Bucciarati Inspired Workout as:
- Bruno’s Insane Strength
- Bruno’s Slim and Toned Physique
- Bruno’s Body Control
This one will be built around an intermediate to advanced level just due to the fact that we’ll be adding in some difficult progressions and a lot of volume to make sure you’re getting enough progressive overload to build the strength that Bruno has in his slim physique.
You can start right in with this one by scaling down as needed or you can start with the Beginner Ninja Workout and then work your way up to this one.
Check out all The SHJ Programs and start unleashing your inner SuperHuman.
Bruno Bucciarati Workout Routine
Training Volume:
4 days per week of calisthenics and 1-2 days a week of endurance training
Explanation:
Although Bruno might look skinny and frail, he is actually one of the strongest humans in the entire JoJo series. That means we need to train around a massive amount of strength without necessarily wanting to bulk up and tack on mass. We’ll be training with 4 days of calisthenics per week, one Vento Aureo Circuit Test that you can complete weekly, biweekly or monthly, and a day devoted to endurance work.
Additional Explanation:
Your starting work is scalable but as the weeks go by it’s your responsibility to increase the volume/rep count. I recommend utilizing our Ultimate Calisthenics Workout and Guide to learn more about scaling and each movements specific options. Your blowout for each day is going to specifically be going until failure to really make sure we hit fatigue.
Want To Upgrade This Workout?
The Superhero Academy now comes with an Upgrade Your Workout Tool that allows Academy members to turn any SHJ workout into a 4-8 week fully planned regime detailing exact weights to lift and including reverse & traditional pyramid training, straight sets, super sets, progressive overload and more.
