We’re officially hitting our tenth member within our Record of Ragnarok Inspired Workouts Database.
On the same week we’re hitting ten within our Kengan Ashura Inspired Workouts.
We have been on a role adding new mini-databases within our larger Anime Workouts Database, but we always wait to hit ten characters before we really take it to the next level.
That means within the next week or so we’ll have Record of Rangarok added to Workout Placement Quizzes and even our Unofficial Workout Booklet Series!
And I know we haven’t seen Lu Bu yet, but you guys also know how much I like to go back and forth between the fighters competing against each other, so expect to see him fairly soon.
Thor ROR Stats:
Real Name: Thor
Height: N/A
Weight: N/A
Anime: Record of Ragnarok
Powers: Yes
We don’t have an exact height and weight for Thor, but his Fandom page tells us he takes the form of an “extremely tall” muscular man, so we can assume he comes in among our behemoths.
If I had to guess I’d assume he’s roughly seven feet tall, if not even taller.
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.

Thor ROR 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.

Thor ROR 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 Thor we’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page, which leads us off with this bio section:
Thor is the Gods’ representative in the first round of Ragnarok, going against Lü Bu. Thor is a prominent deity in the Norse Pantheon, being the Nordic God of Thunder, and is also often regarded as Nordic’s Strongest Warrior and God. He is known as the “Thunder Berserker“.
This doesn’t even tell us all that much about Thor, but we can immediately tell we’re going to have our work cut out for us.
When we move down into his powers and abilities, though, we can start with his overall abilities to slowly break it down:
Overall Abilities: Thor is regarded as the “Nordic’s Strongest Warrior” and thus possesses nearly unparalleled power in combat and strength. He once took on an army of 66 Jötunns by himself, obliterating each giant with just a single swing form his hammer, making him a legendary figure within the Nordic Pantheon.
We already know we’re definitely going to be focusing on strength, but we’ll also want to prioritize a kettlebell in there as well (at least once on each of our training days) to replicate Thor’s hammer.
I know we could actually use a giant hammer for the workout, but I’m going to be sticking to a kettlebell strictly because we can still swing it, and we’ll have far more members of The SHJ Army able to have access to the full workout if we program it that way.
Moving onto Thor’s physical abilities they really start to discuss the good stuff:
Godly Strength: As the Nordic’s Strongest Warrior and God, Thor possesses an unfathomable physical strength and power which allows him to wield his hammer, Mjölnir, one-handed without difficulty and even kill the World Serpent, Jörmungandr (a giant serpent that might be large enough to surround the Earth and grasp its own tail), in a single blow with one of his ultimate techniques. Thor is stated to be strong enough to tear apart the seas and lands with his hammer and even shatter the Earth itself.
Godly Speed & Reflexes: As a God, Thor possesses an unfathomable speed and reflexes, being able to swing his hammer at unimaginable speeds. During his battle against the Jötunns, Thor’s attacks were so fast that the giants were unable to see or even perceive his attacks. Thor was also able to keep up with Lu Bu’s speed and reaction time.
Godly Endurance & Stamina: As a God, Thor showed no signs of fatigue throughout his fight with Lü Bu. Even after being cut by the Chinese Hero, Thor didn’t showed any signs of pain and managed to continue the fight without any issue.
Thor also has teleportation, semi-immortality, divine physiology, electrokinesis, and other abilities, but we won’t be working around those things as much as his physical abilities so there’s no need for a larger breakdown of each.
Here are our main goals for this workout:
- Thor’s Massive Muscular Physique
- Thor’s Strongest Warrior Godly Strength
- Thor’s Speed and Endurance
The main goal is going to be Thor’s strength and massive physique, but speed will come with it if we build the routine right, and I’ll also be tacking on some extra endurance work so we can get the full Thor experience and build.
Be ready for heavy weights and a good amount of volume, but don’t be afraid to scale down or even start with our Beginner Behemoth workout if you need.
