It’s time for us to make our way back to our Fire Force Inspired Workouts.
We’ve already had a handful, but the members of The SHJ Army have spoken and it’s time we add Arthur Boyle to our list.
Boyle came it at number six among our most popular Fire Force characters and even came in on our list of the most powerful Fire Force characters at number eleven, just missing the top ten.
He’s also a sword wielder, which makes him join another special rank among our Anime Inspired Workouts.
And, as we’ll learn about him in our workout research section, he is extremely powerful in more than just one area, so he will make a fun character to write a routine around and be a great addition to our Workout Placement Quizzes as well.
Arthur Boyle Stats:
Real Name: Arthur Boyle
Height: 5’8 1/2
Weight: 141 lbs.
Anime: One Punch Man
Powers: Yes
Arthur Boyle comes in slightly above average height we’ve seen among male anime characters who tend to be on the shorter side.
Although he is definitely much shorter than some of the behemoths we’ve seen in our Workout 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.

Arthur Boyle 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.

Arthur Boyle 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 Arthur Boyle we’re going to start by pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page.
They lead us off with an insanely brief bio (don’t worry, we’ll expand on it), stating:
Arthur Boyle was a Third Generation Fire Soldier of Tokyo’s Special Fire Force Company 8.
From there we’ll move right into his powers and abilities section being that we have A LOT to learn and discuss about him.
They start that section with a ton of information discussing an overview of his abilities:
Arthur has proven himself to be one of the strongest Fire Soldiers in the Special Fire Force. Arthur is an exceptionally strong Fire Soldier, possessing incredible physical strength that allows him to repelling an Infernal with a single punch. With time he becomes one of the strongest people on the planet. Being able to briefly contend with Dragon when they first meet, Arthur’s skill goes exponentially after training to recover from multiple defeats. Arthur’s speed allows him to react quickly enough to retaliate against Shinra’s Rapid and he was fast enough to react to Shō Kusakabe’s Severed Universe, though he wasn’t able to entirely dodge it. Arthur also possesses tremendous durability, being able to withstand damage and powerful blows without staggering or relenting in his own attacks.
He is eventually recognized by Dragon to be the first person to draw blood from him in a fight, and has managed to critically injure the latter on multiple occasions during their brawl. He managed to match his immense physical abilities as well as using his incredible speed to catch him off guard or avoid lethal attacks.
His final, strongest attack, Violet Flash: Earth Divider, was so incredibly powerful, it completely split the world in two, along with instantly killing Dragon. The light from the attack also managed to extinguish some of the flames of the Great Cataclysm. This attack, along with the rest of his abilities, proved that he is one of, if not the strongest beings in the series so far.
From there they move on to talk about his pyrokinesis (which is obviously important in terms of his overall powers), but we’ll actually be skipping it in order to break down what’s important in terms of building out this routine and save space for even more.
Here’s what they tell us:
Immense Strength: Arthur possesses superhuman levels of strength, showcased in his battle against dragon, when he was capable of trading blows with the Monster with relative ease. His immense strength was enough to break apart the surface of the moon and Dragon’s impenetrable armor, which survived countless plasma strikes. His strength allowed him to slice through Dragon’s impenetrable armor with no difficulty. His strength allowed him to contend with several Infernals in terms of strength as well as create shockwaves upon clashing with Dragon several times in their final battle.
Immense Speed: Even more so than his strength, Arthur possesses unimaginable levels of speed. When embracing his knightly delusions, his speed matched that of Shinra’s Rapid, and allowed him to contend with and catch Dragon off guard in their final apocalyptic showdown, and even use his Plasmantle to move faster than the speed of Lightning. When using the Star ring, his speed drastically increases, to the point that he can move fast enough to easily traverse the vacuum of space and cross the distance from the Sun and Earth with barely any difficulty, and completely overwhelm the likes of Dragon with unrelenting attacks.
Immense Durability: Arthur possesses incredible durability, shown as he was able to ednure blows from demon infernals and Benimaru Shinmon. His durability shines through in his rematch with Dragon, where he managed to survive hundreds of immensely powerful attacks from the Beast. His durability allowed him to survive Dragon’s final attack, losing his lower half in the process. Even after all of this, he still managed to hold on for several minutes in space, but later succumbed to his grievous injuries. Arthur also has a large amount of oxygen in his body and a high resistance to fire, showcased when he survived several of Dragon’s explosive fire attacks and fought against him for several hours without overheating whatsoever (this could be explained as him using the Star ring however).
Immense Stamina: Arthur possesses an incredible amount of energy and stamina, allowing him to fight for several hours without Overheating in his training with Benimaru Shinmon, and fight for an extended period of time against Dragon without wavering. He also managed to fight for several seconds in the vacuum of space without falling unconscious until finally succumbing to its effects. Upon donning the Star Ring he managed to completely ignore most of Dragons attacks, fight for several hours without tiring, and more. He also possesses a surprisingly high pain tolerance, allowing him to fight despite being grievously injured by Dragon and smile despite missing several body parts.
As you can see: we have A LOT of abilities to train around.
For this one we’re going to be specifically focusing in on immense strength, speed and stamina.
Thankfully the strength and speed will come from the same weight training, but we’re also going to throw in endurance work and circuit training to put the speed to a test while also hitting the immense stamina portion of Arthur Boyle’s abilities.
Be ready for a nice variety of training with a mix of intensity and volume.
