Buddha Calisthenics Workout: Train like Record of Ragnarok God!

We had Buddha come into our Record of Ragnarok Workouts Database early on, and now it’s time to revisit the God who fought for the humans.

The second part of season two released on Netflix and Buddha is put on full display in a way we only previously saw him if we had read the manga.

With that, we are now coming in with a calisthenics version for all our bodyweight members inside The SHJ Army and I’m pretty positive this is going to be an extremely popular one within our Anime Workouts Database.

The lean and shredded physique we get to see in the second half of the second season is a perfect for coming in for another look at Buddha’s workout and I’m excited to be able to draw inspiration from one of the most powerful Record of Ragnarok characters.

Buddha Stats:

Real Name: Buddha

Height: N/A

Weight: N/A

Anime: Record Of Ragnarok

Powers: Yes

As I mention for most of our Record of Ragnarok characters: they are almost all most likely big enough to be considered behemoths among our male characters – but we don’t actually have official stats for them.

That behemoth height is right around 6’6, and if you watch ROR you know these guys are ginormous.

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.

Buddha Calisthenics 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.

Buddha Calisthenics 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 Buddha we’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page just as we did the first time he made his way onto SHJ.

They start with a bio section for him here:

Buddha is Humanity’s representative in the sixth round of Ragnarok, going against Zerofuku, and later Hajun, despite initially being listed as a representative for the Gods.

Buddha is a prominent deity in the Dharmic Pantheon, being the founder of Buddhism, one of the Four Sages, as well as one of the few divine beings, alongside Heracles and the Valkyries, who are not in favor of destroying Humanity. Buddha was formerly a Human by the name of Gautama Siddhartha and a famous philosophical figure hailing from Nepal, before attaining enlightenment and eventually ascending to Godhood.

The important part here is that we make it very clear that Buddha is a god that is fighting as HUMANITY’S sixth round representative.

That means, although we’re talking about Humanity’s rep, we’re going to be training like a God.

We’ll be skipping over his appearance section and moving right into his abilities for this one being that I made a specific point to use images that clearly show off what we’re going to be shooting for when it comes to Buddha’s aesthetic.

To start off his abilities I want to discuss some of his God abilities prior to moving into his physical abilities that will be a bigger part of our routine. I will make mention to the fact that they also discuss his Buddhist Realm Empowerment, Common Destiny, Pure Enlightenment Eighth Consciousness as Godlike abilities we aren’t breaking down below, and Wisdom, Indominitable Will and Charisma as mental abilities we won’t be discussing.

That said, here’s what we will take a look at in terms of his Godlike abilities:

Semi-Immortality: Like all Gods, Buddha is eternally youthful, being incapable of dying due to old age.

Divine Physiology: As a God, Buddha is a being with divine and transcendent attributes and characteristics far superior to any ordinary human. Like all Gods, his body is completely invulnerable to weapons created by Humans, however, he can still be harmed by physical attacks from individuals with superhuman strength and Divine Weapons.

This is just a bonus factor on top of the physical ability we’re going to be discussing below – but something we need to be aware of for the intensity and overall build of the routine.

Here are those abilities I’m talking about:

Godly Strength: Buddha possesses godly physical strength, as shown when a light kick from Buddha damaged Zerofuku so much that he coughed up blood and couldn’t breathe. Buddha could also push Zerofuku’s giant axe with his shield as well as strike with so much force, it caused him to bleed.

Godly Speed & Reflexes: Buddha managed to react to and dodge Ebisu’s point-blank shot effortlessly and with finesse, and could easily match Zeus in speed and reflexes while trying to keep his candy bowl away from him. In his match against Zerofuku, Buddha effortlessly dodged his incessant and blinding axe swings, occasionally even moving at speeds that surpass Zerofuku. With the help of his precognition, his reaction time is further improved, to the point where he usually makes a preemptive move to dodge before his opponent even attacks.

Godly Endurance and Stamina: Buddha was capable of exerting himself to his physical and mental limit throughout the duration of his fight with Hajun, even after being pushed to a near death state he was still able to continue fighting. Buddha’s tolerance to pain was shown when he withstood multiple of Hajun’s attacks and even enduring the pain of having his abdomen punctured and having one of his eyes gouged out.

This makes what we’re working towards pretty obvious for this one.

But, just to be clear, the goals for our Buddha Calisthenics Inspired Workout are:

• Buddha’s Shredded Lean and Slim Aesthetic
• Buddha’s Godly Strength and Speed
• Buddha’s Godly Endurance and Stamina

We only have three calisthenics workouts within our Record of Ragnarok Inspired Workouts so far, so I promised we’d be getting more – and I want to deliver big time with this one.

Not only is Buddha my personal favorite character, but he’s the favorite of many other ROR fans out there, along with the fact that he’s one of the most powerful character.

With that, we’re going to be stepping it up a notch and bringing in one of my favorite, most intense calisthenics builds on the site, with some Buddha flair to it.

That will make it a bit too intense for beginners and even some intermediates out there, but you can always start with one of our other Beginner Workouts and then level your way up to this one as you see improvements.

Buddha Calisthenics Workout Routine

Training Volume:

4-5 days per week

Explanation:

We’ve already had our fairly simple calisthenics workout, our superset variations AND our tri-set variation, which means it’s a match made in Heaven for this God, because we’re coming in with our new build: the circuit build. This one brings in the intensity of an extremely powerful God and adds in the endurance work we need to train like Buddha himself. We’ll be hitting this one four times a week and can also utilize our Dharmic Pantheon Circuit Test weekly, biweekly or monthly as we’d like right on top of that.

Jump Rope Scaling Guide: 

Scale Jump Rope Skips to Jumping Jacks or Toe Taps onto a DB or KB or Stair. Also scale from 100 to 30-50 reps as needed.
