The All Might Workout Routine: Train like you have the One For All Quirk!

Last updated on February 4th, 2022 at 05:38 pm

All Might was our most requested character after our last “Anime Week”.

Hopefully you didn’t miss that one…

If you did, though, we had Mikasa from Attack on Titan and One Punch Man!

And last week we transferred over and had a Mortal Kombat week with Scorpion and Sonya Blade, but now I’m back for more anime; and I might even do two weeks in a row I’m so excited for it!

And the SHJ Army would not let me get away with doing any other character other than All Might to get us started up again!

All Might Stats:

Height: 7’2

Weight: 562 lbs

Real Name: Toshinori Yagi

Powers: Yes; One For All Quirk

All Might is HUGE!

While in his true form he isn’t as much of a monster, this article is going to be based mainly on his One for All “All Might” form.

Wolverine holds the shortest spot among comic characters we’ve seen at 5’3, but Damian Wayne is only an inch taller. One Punch Man falls next on the list at 5’9 – with Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Green Arrow coming in around 5’11 and Beast joining them.

Just above them are Aquaman and Punisher standing only an inch or so taller.

We’ve had Superman at 6’3, and Captain America, Scorpion and Batman at 6’2, with Thor and Cyborg towering over them at 6’6, Thanos right there with them at 6’7, and Deathstroke right below at 6’5.

And, of course, Hulk is up there with Thor, Kratos, Thanos and Cyborg, and sometimes even portrayed much taller.

Yeah, that means All Might is the tallest, only sometimes surpassed by The Hulk!

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.

All Might Diet and Nutrition

**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero, unless I mentioned differently (for example someone like The 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 Hugh Jackman and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting daily, and I also use it myself in conjunction with cyclical ketosis.

That being said, I also recommend tracking and paying attention to protein intake.

BUT, 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 (Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, Superhumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!

Oh, and if you’re down with calorie counting instead, that’s always an option as well.  It’s just important to be aware of specific rules and precision while counting.

THE ALL MIGHT PORTION:

As I said before, “The Hulk may get something specifically different.”.

Well, that’s not completely true, but I also want to mention something that is really important for those of you who are looking to put on All Might-like mass.

In order to gain weight you’re going to need to eat over your caloric maintenance level.

You need to eat MORE!

It’s important to also get enough protein daily (which we’ve mentioned), so counting macronutrients also really helps (which you can learn more about in the Nutrition Pillars).

So, EAT like All Might would!!!

All Might Workout Routine Research

And now for what I like to refer to as “the fun part”.  

For those of you who utilize these character workouts we make, you’ve probably seen me say that time and time again.

This is where I get to research the “how” and “why” behind how we’re going to make the routine itself.

Basically, I get to go through the powers and abilities of the character, in this case: All Might.

So for those of you who don’t know who All Might is, we’ll start with some background information from his Wiki page:

Toshinori Yagi most commonly known by his hero name, All Might, is the tritagonist of My Hero Academia. All Might is the former No. 1 Hero who bore the title of the world’s Symbol of Peace. He teaches Foundational Hero Studies at U.A. High School.

All Might was the eighth holder of the One For All Quirk after receiving it from Nana Shimura. He has since passed the torch to Izuku Midoriya, whom he is grooming to be his successor.

And, as I said, we’re going to be referring to this routine and basing it on his hero form.  His Wiki describes that as:

In his “muscle form”, All Might is a very large man with an equally muscular and well-defined physique. His design resembles a typical western comic book superhero. He has short blonde hair with two distinct bangs that stand up over his head. All Might’s hair often casts a dark shadow over his face, hiding everything but his deep blue eyes.

All Might is recognized to be the strongest hero in the world.

To go along with that his powers are listed as:

• Immense Strength
• Immense Speed
• Immense Durability

Which seem like things we definitely want to be revolving a workout around!

I’m going to have some fun with this one.
