Jugo is one of the best physiques in Naruto, which isn’t exactly saying much (considering most characters are generally slim and toned), but still impressive.
But, the crazier part about that statement is acknowledging that he is just now making it onto SHJ.
We’re remedying that today and Jugo is going to be a nice addition to our Naruto Inspired Workouts.
He wasn’t one of our top requests, but we recently shared a video of the most muscular Naruto characters and he made the list – making it clear there was an issue with his absense.
He didn’t necessarily make it onto our most powerful Naruto characters, or even our most popular Naruto characters, but considering this is a fitness X fandom website, most muscular kind of trumps those.
Jugo Stats:
Real Name: Jugo
Height: 6’6
Weight: 167 lbs.
Anime/Manga: Naruto
Powers: Yes
Jugo is actually pretty massive, coming in among our behemoths within our Anime Workouts Database that we usually let skim in once they hit around his height.
The one thing that doesn’t really add up is his super light weight compared to the really tall frame and muscular physique, but it’s anime stats – so I’m not surprised.
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.

Jugo 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.

Jugo 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 Jugo I’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page which starts with a brief bio section here:
Jūgo is a shinobi from an unnamed clan, who was being held at Orochimaru’s Northern Hideout. He was said to have gone to Orochimaru of his own free will, hoping that Orochimaru would cure him of his rages. He was later recruited as a member of Sasuke Uchiha’s group Taka, which was initially called “Hebi” at the time of its creation.
Moving into his appearance section I’ll just start by pulling the very first line that sums up a bit about what we’re working with for this routine:
Jūgo is a very tall, muscular young man who has spiky orange hair, red-orange eyes, and a usually calm disposition.
We won’t be getting any taller, but we are going to be looking to tack on a significant amount of muscle mass.
When we move down into his abilities section we learn a bit about how powerful he is here:
Jūgo’s abilities undoubtedly make him a dangerous individual, enough to gain the interest of other powerful ninja such as Orochimaru and Sasuke Uchiha at separate times. After adapting their DNA and abilities, Kabuto also indirectly praised Jūgo when noting the quality of Sasuke’s former team. A special trait of Jūgo’s, is his ability to understand and communicate with animals, such as birds, who can be sent to travel far distances to scout and gather information, and quickly report back. Jūgo can also transfer his chakra onto others, as seen when he infused Sasuke’s Susanoo with senjutsu chakra, and in the anime absorb chakra through physical contact and heal most injuries instantly. Jūgo’s nature transformations include Earth, Water, Wind, and Yang Release.
Even without his Sage Transformation we have enough to go on.
The goals for our Jugo Inspired Workout are pretty clear:
- Jugo’s Muscular Aesthetic
- Jugo’s Shinobi Body Control
- Jugo’s Strength and Speed
For this one the main goal is going to be Jugo’s muscular physique, which is actually extremely aesthetic in terms of what many of the members of The SHJ Army actually wants.
With that will automatically bring strength and speed, and then I’ll also throw in some calisthenics (making it a bit hybrid) to work on our ninja body control.
This one shouldn’t be too hard to scale if needed, but you can also start with The Beginner Behemoth Workout or even one of our other Beginner Workouts.
Check out all The SHJ Programs and start unleashing your inner SuperHuman.
Jugo Workout Routine
Training Volume:
3-5 days per week
Explanation:
For this one we’ll be using a PPL (Push, Pull, Legs) Split with three core days of training with weights and a bit of calisthenics mixed in to make it a bit Ninja-Hybrid. Then we’ll also have a Shinobi Circuit Test that you can put to the test weekly, biweekly or monthly as well as resources to tack on some extra Ninja Endurance Work.

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.
