Mash Burnedead Workout: Train like Mashle Protagonist!

I’ve been wanting to start reading Mashle for a while now but I promised myself I would let it get ten volumes in before I start.

The reason being is I started Kaiju No. 8, Sakamoto Days (and even Jujutsu Kaisen, though that has more volumes at least) and binged through them like a glutton and now I’m stuck dying for more.

Now Mashle is getting an anime in 2023 and we’re at nine volumes at the time of me writing this and I have six on the way to my house!

That said, we definitely needed some Mash Burnedead around here to bring some magic and muscles into our Anime Workouts Database.

Mash Burnedead Stats:

Real Name: Mash Burnedead

Height: 5’6

Weight: N/A

Anime/Manga: Mashle

Powers: Yes

Mash is quite short, but he’s technically around average height compared to male anime characters we’ve seen.

Though that range is getting a bit higher as we bring in some older characters, and tons of behemoths.

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.

Mash Burnedead 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.

Mash Burnedead 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 Mash Burnedead we’ll be pulling from his Wiki Fandom page starting with this:

Mash Burnedead is the protagonist of the Mashle series and a first-year student at Easton Magic Academy.

He was abandoned when he was a child because he didn’t have a mark, meaning that he is unable to use magic. Regro Burnedead found him and raised him like a father outside the big city, hiding Mash from society and teaching him auto-defense. They lived a peaceful life until one day Mash goes to the city and a policeman discovers him. After that event, Brad Coleman notices that Mash doesn’t have a mark and goes to Mash’s house to find him. Once there, Brad hurts Regro and after an “intense” fight with Mash, they accord that Mash will go to the magic school in order to maintain their peaceful life. Mash agrees and, in that process, Mash set his goal to become a Divine Visionary.

This doesn’t tell us a much, but it does give us an idea of what direction we’re headed.

Since we’ll also be working around Mash’s aesthetic I won’t skip too far ahead to his powers and abilities and will instead share a bit about his appearance here:

Mash is of average height and has got a muscular build. He has black bowl-cut hair and a fake mark made by Brad Coleman. When at Easton, he wears the standard white shirt, black trousers, red tie, brown shoes and black cape. When away from school, he often wears white shorts, and black under armor.

Just in case you didn’t know we were clearly going to be looking to build muscle for this one…

From there it’s time to move into his abilities section, which starts with this:

Muscles Magic: Mash was born without a mark, so he cannot cast spells, instead, he uses muscle-based techniques to compensate for his lack of magic power. Through his impressive control over his own muscles, Mash is capable of clenching his abdominal muscles to prevent potential blades in his body from being taken out. The feats he accomplishes with his non-magical techniques are impressive enough to make people believe he’s actually using magic.

From there they have a ton of information about each specific ability that comes with his Muscles Magic.

Here’s how they break it down for us:

Immense Strength and Speed: Mash possesses an incredible amount of physical power. He’s able to lift extremely heavy weights with immense speed in many different ways and block powerful magic spells by simply swiping his hand. He can also throw objects at high speed and power with excellent accuracy. Mash is inhumanly strong even with his wrist weights on, which prevent him from using his full strength. At full power, Mash becomes fast enough to generate afterimages with his movements.

Immense Durability: Mash’s body is extremely durable, capable of taking much more damage than normal humans. His durability is even greater than that of a goddess, as seen in his battle against Carpaccio Luo-Yang.

Immense Endurance: In addition to his offensive power, Mash possesses incredible endurance, able to keep on fighting, despite severe injuries. He is able to continue his fight with Domina Blowelive despite having a large piercing wound on his torso, which was inflicted to him by the latter.

Inhuman Reflexes: Mash can react to spells and any other attack at extreme speed. By touching a wall behind him, Mash is able to perceive Margarette Macaron’s movements by taking advantage of the fact, that the sound she generates travels faster from the ground to the wall behind him, ultimately allowing him to dodge her attack. According to Kaldo Gehenna, to pull off such a feat would require otherworldly reflexes.

We clearly have our work cut out for us.

We’ve seen Mash benching, squatting, curling and more.

So there’s an obvious choice for this one: The Bro Split!

We’re going to get jacked, while also making sure we build immense endurance on top of the lean physique, immense strength and speed and more.

This one should be fairly easy to scale, but you can also choose to start with The Beginner Behemoth Workout if you’d like as well.

Mash Burnedead Workout Routine

Training Volume:

Explanation:

For this one we’ll be working with a Bro-Split 4 days per week, but I’ll also increase the intensity a bit and have some circuits and supersets in there as well as an Easton Magic Academy Circuit Test you can use weekly, biweekly or monthly. We’ll have plenty of accessory work to build the Mash aesthetic, but also hit all the lifts Mash would hit while shooting for better endurance and his superhuman strength and speed.
