We’ve been bringing in a lot of characters into our Marvel Inspired Workouts recently, but it’s time we finally get another with a ton of mass.
So today we’re bringing in The Hulk’s son: Skaar!
We got to see him [shortly] in The MCU, and we also have him in Marvel SNAP, making him the perfect double whammy for us this week (considering you guys continue asking for more SNAP characters).
But if it’s not immediately clear without me having to tell you, I’ll say it just in case: we are clearly training around heavy weights and mass – so if you want a bodyweight training routine you’ll want to head into the Calisthenics Workouts Database.
Skaar Stats:
Real Name: Skaar
Height: 6′6
Weight: 400 lbs.
Comics: Marvel Comics
Powers: Yes
Skaar is obviously massive, but he’s actually not nearly as tall as some of the tallest male characters.
That said, we’d still consider him a behemoth (JUST making it) among The Anime Workouts Database and superheroes.
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.

Skaar Diet and Nutrition
**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero, unless I mentioned differently (for example someone like Hulk may get something specifically different)**
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.

Skaar 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 Skaar I’ll be pulling from his Wiki Fandom page starting with his bio section here:
Skaar is the son of the Hulk and Caiera the Oldstrong. After Caiera’s death, a cocoon containing Skaar fell into the lake of fire. After a period of time, Skaar emerged from the cocoon, appearing to be the age of a human boy. A year later, he appeared to have grown to a young adult and had spent time in the swamps with Old Sam who attempted to raise, teach and guide him after he discovered him shortly after Shadow People burned tattoos into his skin. It took Old Sam months to get him to wear a loincloth and speak.
This doesn’t tell us much about what we’ll be working around, but I will be skipping his appearance section (considering they should be pretty obvious) and moving right into his powers.
Old Power: Skaar possess the Shadow People’s Old Power which allows him to connect to and manipulate the earth and stone of the planet, control lava, speak through the earth, turn his own body to stone and even a form of retrocognition, showing him all who had walked the planet Sakaar in the last ‘forty moons’ and the things they had done. This power was removed from him by the Silver Surfer and then returned to him by his mother.
This is just getting us started, but there’s far more.
They then go on to talk about his nigh invulnerability, regenerative healing, transformation (into human form) and some other small abilities, but what we really want to discuss is this:
Superhuman Strength: Skaar’s gamma-spawned and Old Power heritage grant him vast superhuman strength, enabling him to lift at least 90 tons under normal conditions and enabling to further increase his strength by using the Old Power. Once having absorbed 100 trillion tons of kinetic energy from a city to fight the Hulk, sent Juggernaut flying in space with ease, punching beings miles away, slaying the dragons of Sakaar, overturning tanks, and fighting the likes of Thing, Titania and Doc Sasquatch with ease.
Superhuman Stamina: During his time searching for Axeman Bone and trying to protect and survive all in one he has shown the ability to keep his stamina up for extended periods.
This makes it pretty clear, if it wasn’t already.
The goals for our Skaar Inspired Workout are:
- Skaar’s Massive Muscular Aesthetic
- Skaar’s Superhuman Strength and Speed
- Skaar’s Superhuman Stamina
This one won’t be overwhelmingly advanced, but we will definitely be lifting heavy with a decent amount of volume.
So if it seems a bit too hard you can start with The Beginner Behemoth Workout or one of our other Beginner Workouts and then level up to this one.

Skaar Workout Routine
Training Volume:
5+ Days Per Week
Explanation:
We’re going to do a 5 day split that’s going to be based around our compound lifts for each body part, and then we’re going to do some arms and some extra accessory work for some extra speed, strength and even just plain ol’ aesthetic reasons!
(The easiest way to scale is cut each exercise down to 2-3 sets instead of 4, and cut 1-2 exercises off each day).
