Castlevania: Nocturne is here, which means we obviously need Richter Belmont to join our Anime Workouts Database.
We’ve had a few other Castlevania characters, but we’ve also been waiting for Nocturne to release for quite some time, so this was the best way I could time his release.
We had Trevor Belmont a while ago now, and last week I even added Syphia Belnades to get us ready for the release.
And I do want to make mention to the fact that while Richter is lean and quite slim, we are actually going to be looking to accomplish this one with weight training.
Richter has a muscular, toned, slim aesthetic – almost similar to what I’d consider a warrior in the movie 300 to have.
Richter Belmont Stats:
Real Name: Richter Belmont
Height: 5’10
Weight: 165 lbs.
Anime:ย Castlevania: Nocturne
Powers: Yes
Richter is actually slightly above average if we compare him to other male anime characters we’ve seen, but not really that tall when compared to all male characters and celebs we’ve had within our databases.
That said, his 165 pounds seems spot on with the shredded and lean aesthetic he is portrayed with.
Wolverineย was the shortest spot among comic characters weโve seen at 5โ3, prior to theย Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesย coming in at 5โ2, (andย Gimliย even shorter) โ butย Damian Wayneย (Robin) is only 5โ4.ย ย Gokuย isnโt that tall either, though, standing only 5โ7, withย Miles Moralesย only an inch above him.
One Punch Manย falls in at 5โ9 right there withย Ryu,ย Nightwingย at 5โ10, and thenย Spider-Man,ย Daredevil, andย Green Arrowย coming in around 5โ11 andย Beastย joining them.
Weโve hadย Supermanย and Eddie Brockโsย Venomย at 6โ3, andย Captain America,ย Scorpionย andย Batmanย at 6โ2, and Carnage at 6โ1.ย Thorย andย Cyborgย are towering over them at 6โ6,ย Thanosย andย Kingย right there with them at 6โ7,ย Baneย at 6โ8, andย Deathstrokeย right below at 6โ5, andย Black Mantaย at 6โ4.
Ronanย andย Sagatย are 7โ5, andย Doomsdayย came in at 8โ10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.
But, donโt worry if youโre not the same height or weight range.
We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.

Richter Belmont 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 donโt think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.
You canโt out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.
You can start by checking outย The Nutrition Pillarsย on the site, but Iโll break down some more information for you guys as well.
Guys likeย Dwayne Johnsonย andย Kevin Hartย incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals,ย Hugh Jackman,ย Tom Hopper,ย Benedict Cumberbatchย andย Terry Crewsย utilizeย intermittent fastingย (something I use daily as well),ย Ariana Grande,ย Mustafa Shakirย andย Madelaine Petschย areย vegans,ย Brandon Routhย andย Frank Grilloย opt forย paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.
Itโs all about sustainability.
AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is whatโs important.
Which is why ourย Academyย 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?ย Check this out.

Richter Belmont Workout Routine Research
Weโve made it to โthe fun partโ.
And, if you donโt know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.
To learn more about Richter Belmont we’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom that cooincides with the new Castlevania: Nocturne anime, starting with his brief bio section here:
Richter Belmontย is aย characterย and mainย protagonistย in theย Netflixย original animated series,ย Castlevania: Nocturne.
They actually don’t give him an appearance section, but hopefully you can kind of make out what we’re working with here.
I would say that we’re most similar to what you’d think of a Spartan warrior like you’d see in a movie like 300.
Lean, slim, toned and shredded muscular aesthetic.
Being that this Wiki Fandom is actually fairly new, I’ll also be pulling some information from his regular Character Profile Wiki Fandom, which is where I also got his specific height and weight stats.
For example, here’s what they tell us about his Vampire Hunting:
Vampire Killer: Once known as The Whip of Alchemy created by Rinaldo Gandolfi, even before it was the Vampire Killer, the Whip of Alchemy is stronger then even a dead man’s discarded sword It is a holy weapon, of forbidden mysteries, that is designed to destroy all who are related to the kindred of the night.
This just gives us a bit more background information, but I’ll still be pulling from the Nocturne Wiki to compare to as well.
Here’s how they break that down for us:
Magic: Richter is a capable mage with a solid grasp of combat magic. He is skilled enough to use elemental magic offensively and defensively.
Immense combat prowess: Richter is an exceptional warrior in peak physical condition.
Peak human endurance and pain tolerance: Richter has outstanding survivability for a mortal man, as he is shown to be able to tank from attacks fromย vampires.
Weapon mastery: Richter is a highly skilled with hisย family whipย and shortsword. Richter has also shown himself to be capable of employing throwing knives in combat with accuracy.
They also discuss his hand to hand combat, but you should know he has skills there already.
That said, the big thing here is the peak human endurance and pain tolerance.
For the actual goals of our Richter Belmont Inspired Workout are going to be:ย
- Richter’s Slim but Shredded Muscular Aesthetic
- Richter’s Peak Human Endurance
- Richter’s Mobility and Strength and Speed
So obviously for this we don’t need to train around getting absolutely massive or some superhuman strength level, but we will still be using weights to become lean, strong, nimble and quick.
The priority goals are Richter’s endurance and overall shredded aesthetic, but the rest will come as a bonus perk.
That said, this routine should be okay for the majority of members to jump into, with some potential scaling, but you could also start with one of our Beginner Workouts if it seems a bit too much to get going with.
Check out all The SHJ Programs and start unleashing your inner SuperHuman.
Richter Belmont Workout Routine

Training Volume:
5+ days per week
Explanation:
The last time I used a structure like this was for our Hero Killer, so it only makes sense we come in and use it for our Vampire Killer! You’re going to have 3 days a week devoted to full body training with some additional cardio thrown in to help with our Richter endurance. You’ll also have a day devoted to your Spartan Warrior Physique Circuit Test considering I’ve been mentioned that’s how I picture his physique since the beginner, I think it’s only right we take on the 300 Circuit! And, finally, you’ll have a day devoted each week to entirely endurance work to step it up a notch, which can turn into 2 days per week if you skip the circuit one week here and there.
