Bulat Workout: Train Like The Akame Ga Kill Behemoth!

Last updated on July 21st, 2023 at 06:46 pm

We’ve had Akame from Akame Ga Kill on the site already, of course, but now it’s time to bring in Bulat; AKA 100 Man-Slayer Bulat!

Bulat is a perfect character to round off our week and get another weight training routine hitting the site.

Coming in looking like a bodybuilder, we’ll discuss later that his strength is also going to be a huge factor in this workout.

Akame may have taken the spotlight with the requests coming in, but Bulat slowly but surely made his way up there and found his way onto the well deserved list of characters that eventually make it.

Bulat Stats:

Real Name: Bulat

Height: 6’3

Weight: N/A

Anime: Akame Ga Kill

Powers: No

I may have titled this one with a statement claiming Bulat is a behemoth, but he is technically about 2-3 inches shy of what we’d consider a behemoth among our male anime characters within The Anime Workouts Database.

That said, his muscle mass would definitely get him there if he had a few more inches.

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.

Bulat 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.

Bulat 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 Bulat we’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page starting with a super brief bio section they give us here:

Bulat, also known as 100 Man-Slayer Bulat, was a member of the Revolutionary Army’s assassination group, Night Raid.

This doesn’t tell us enough about Bulat, but it’s definitely a good start.

His physique and overall aesthetic is pretty obvious so I’ll be skipping his appearance section that touches on his muscles.

We learn a lot more about him when we move down into his abilities and equipment section, though.

We’ll start off with how they describe his Teigu and save his physical abilities for last [since those will have the most impact on our workout]:

Bulat wielded Incursio, an armor Teigu that changes form depending on the person using it. When activated, the armor has a special ability to turn the user invisible for a limited time, having mastered Incursio to its limits as he was able to call on the armor without the use of its key as well as being able to use its invisibility for long periods of time.

And last but not learn, here’s how they break down his physical abilities:

Arguably the strongest member of Night Raid, his strength was greatly praised by the likes of Liver and was even given special attention by Esdeath herself. Bulat is extremely skilled in both the sword and spear and has mastered the skill to take awareness of his surroundings as shown when he dealt with three powerful enemies at the same time with little difficulty. Bulat’s strength and endurance were immense, enough to withstand consistent powerful attacks from Liver’s Teigu, and was still physically tough enough to best Liver in a sword fight. Bulat even battled Akame, considered the Empire’s strongest assassin, to a standstill, with the latter acknowledging that she would have lost the fight had it reached a conclusion.

It’s pretty clear what our focus is for this one: strength and size.

So for the goals of our Bulat Inspired Workout we’ll be looking to accomplish this:

• Bulat’s Muscular Shredded Physique
• Bulat’s Insane Strength
• Bulat’s Assassin Skills (Body Control, Speed, Etc.)

And though the biggest portion of this workout will be optimized towards Bulat’s strength and size, we’ll still have a slight hybrid build to also shoot for his assassin qualities as well.

We’ll want great body control so the addition of bodyweight movements and some extra core work will be necessary.

If it seems a bit too hard for you to get started with you can also jump into our Beginner Behemoth Workout or even one of our other Beginner Workouts.

Bulat Workout Routine

Training Volume:

4-6 days per week

Explanation:

For this one we’ll be using a framework for a hybrid training system I really like and switching it up to make it perfect for what we need to accomplish our Bulat goals. We’ll be training with four days a week of hybrid training that will be primary lifting for strength and mass, but also some bodyweight movements for Bulat’s assassin skills. We’ll also have a 100 Man Slayer Bulat Circuit Test that you can complete weekly, biweekly or monthly as you’d like.

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.
