Caesar Zeppeli Workout: Train like The JoJo Ripple User!

It’s been a while since we have had a character land in our JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Inspired Workouts mini database, but it’s finally time for Caesar Zeppeli to make his way in.

And, right off the bat I’m making it known that we will be training with weights for this one.

So if you’re looking for a bodyweight workout you’ll want to head into the Calisthenics Workouts and choose from there instead.

I’m sure with Caesar coming in finally we’ll have a thousand requests for Will by next week, but let em’ rip anyways.

Caesar Zeppeli Stats:

Real Name: Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli

Height: 6’1

Weight: 200 lbs.

Anime: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure

Powers: Yes

Caesar is above average height among male anime characters we’ve seen, although that’s not a surprise for a JoJo character.

That said, he’s about 5 inches off what we’d be considered a behemoth among The Anime Workouts Database.

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.

Caesar Zeppeli 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.

Caesar Zeppeli 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 Caesar Zeppeli we’ll be pulling from his Wiki Fandom page starting with his bio section here:

Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli is a deuteragonist featured in Battle Tendency. Caesar is an Italian Ripple user and disciple of Lisa Lisa. He is the grаndson of Will Anthonio Zeppeli and battles the Pillar Men alongside his allies and teachers to honor his heritage as a Zeppeli.

This doesn’t tell us that much, but we’re just getting started.

I will be skipping his appearance section considering it just points out the obvious of his hair and muscular physique, and working our way down into his abilities section instead.

We’ll start with his Ripple ability before moving into his physical abilities:

Being a natural-born Ripple user through his grandfather’s bloodline, Caesar was able to project its power from an early age, though it was only under Lisa Lisa’s guidance that he learned how to properly use it. Caesar is able to use more advanced techniques such as focusing the Ripple in his fingertips, and much like Joseph can channel the Ripple through objects, such as weapons, food, or even living beings. In one particular instance, he put a young woman into hypnosis by charging Ripple through her via a kiss.

The base for most of his attacks relies on his gloves, which are loaded with a special soap-like substance. Because of this, he is able to release bubbles from his hands at any time and fuse them with the Ripple to create deadly projectiles.

This doesn’t help us build the workout, but it’s necessary background information, which is why I started here.

But now we can discuss the real meat and potatoes.

His physical abilities:

As a skillfully trained individual, Caesar possesses very high physical abilities: along with a vast amount of physical strength and proficiency in hand to hand combat, Caesar has demonstrated an amazing sense of balance, even being able to perform the “seated jump” that his grandfather previously performed.

Caesar also boasts a high level of endurance far surpassing normal humans, being able to survive for a few days without water, and taking high amounts of physical punishment while still being able to get up and continue fighting. His endurance was best demonstrated when even after receiving Wamuu’s Holy Sandstorm head-on, he still managed to get up and continue fighting for a short amount of time, even managing to produce a Ripple after losing huge amounts of blood. Caesar also has high precision, managing to catch a Ripple-enhanced spaghetti noodle thrown by Joseph using the holes in the tortiglioni he was eating.

Which makes our objectives pretty clear…

The goals for our Caesar Zeppeli Inspired Workout are:

• Caesar’s Massive Muscular Aesthetic
• Caesar’s Vast Physical Strength and Speed
• Caesar’s High Level of Endurance

For this one we’re training to get jacked and strong, but we’re also not training around the most overpowered character we’ve ever had on the site, so I’m taking this chance to build a routine around an intermediate level.

If it still seems a bit harder than you can handle right off the bat you can start with The Beginner Behemoth Workout or any of our other Beginner Workouts and level up to this one.
