I recently posted a video about the most muscular Black Clover characters and Ladros came in within the top three, which obviously led to you guys flooding the request form for him.
It’s actually a bit odd we don’t have him within our Black Clover Inspired Workouts just yet, so rather than wait a week or so I decided to bring him in as soon as possible.
Ladros is massive, while also not being an absolute behemoth, which makes him a super fun character to add to the site.
So, if it wasn’t clear by his size and me pointing it out even more, we’ll definitely be training for weights to accomplish our goals for this one.
Ladros Stats:
Real Name: Ladros
Height: 5’9
Weight: N/A
Anime/Manga: Black Clover
Powers: Yes
Ladros is just slightly above average height, far off what we’d consider a behemoth among our Anime Workouts Database.
But that doesn’t take away from his monstrous muscular physique that will be a big part of how we build out this workout.
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.

Ladros 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.

Ladros 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 Ladros we’ll be pulling from his Wiki Fandom page starting with an extremely brief bio section here:
Ladros is one of the Diamond Kingdom’s Eight Shining Generals.
Since this is shorter than potentially every bio section we’ve ever seen at SHJ I’ll pull a bit more from his full bio section to tell us a bit more about him before moving into his powers and abilities:
Since he was born without a magic attribute, Ladros is ridiculed and treated poorly. As a child, he trains along with Mars and Fana under Fanzell Kruger.
After Fanzell leaves the Diamond Kingdom, Ladros undergoes the Kingdom’s reconstructive surgery and gains the ability to absorb and emit mana.
Years later, Ladros and the other new generation of the Eight Shining Generals hear about the failed invasion of Kiten from Lotus Whomalt. Ladros and Mars lead the Diamond Kingdom’s forces in an assault on the Witches’ Forest, while Fana leads the Eye of the Midnight Sun’s forces and attacks the forest from the opposite side.
This also tells us a bit about how Ladros went from a scrawny little kid prior to the experiment to the behemoth we are used to seeing.
When we move down into his powers and abilities we’ll start with his magical abilities before moving into his physical ones:
Reinforcement Magic: His specialty, Ladros uses this form of magic to enhance his physical capabilities.
Magic Bullet: Ladros is capable of manifesting and concentrating his mana on his hand. Subsequently, he can launch the mana towards an opponent, blasting them away. He can also condense them into beams.
Absorption and Emission: After undergoing the Diamond Kingdom’s experiments, Ladros gains the ability to absorb magic attacks and release the collected magic at will. However, he is limited in the amount of mana that he can contain.
Large Magic Power: Ladros possesses an intimidating amount of mana, even as a child.
More importantly we’ll take a look at his physical abilities as well:
Enhanced Strength: Ladros has a great amount of strength, shown when he picks up Domina Code with one hand and easily tosses her in the air.
Enhanced Durability: With his expertise in Reinforcement Magic, Ladros possesses high durability, as he takes several direct sword strikes from Fanzell and a point-blank magic bullet from Dominante with little to no damage.
Which makes the objective for our workout pretty clear.
The goals for our Ladros Inspired Workout are:
- Ladros’ Massive Muscular Physique
- Ladros’ Enhanced Strength and Durability
- Ladros’ Magical Endurance
Being that strength and mass are the main goals for this one while not necessarily training to become an absolute behemoth (albeit extremely muscular and nearly behemoth category), we’ll be building this one out around a fairly simple weight training schedule.
If this one is a bit too high volume for you, you can always start with one of our Beginner Workouts, with the Beginner Behemoth Workout being our weight training option to eventually work your way up to this one.
That said, you shouldn’t necessarily need to and could simply scale down some of the volume.
Check out all The SHJ Programs and start unleashing your inner SuperHuman.
Ladros Workout Routine
Training Volume:
4-5 days per week
As I mentioned above we’ll be using a fairly classic split training 4 days a week with heavy lifting and then one day per week with our Reinforcement Magic Circuit Test to put our abilities to the test weekly, biweekly or monthly.
