Zack Lee Workout: Train like The Lookism Boxer!

Last updated on January 2nd, 2023 at 10:01 am

You guys are going so crazy for Lookism we’re actually bringing in two new characters this week.

I already have a Lookism Inspired Workouts mini-database set up for our characters since they’re coming every week to keep up, but this week I’m bringing in both Zack Lee AND Samuel Seo (spoiler alert on that one) to keep up with requests that are continuing to flood our inbox.

We’re going back and forth between calisthenics and weight training routines, and Zack Lee is going to be built around calisthenics while Samuel Seo will be utilizing weights.

We’ll discuss why in their individual workout routine research sections, but one of the big reasons stems right from their overall physiques (one is tall and slender while the other has much more mass).

Zack Lee Stats:

Real Name: Zack Lee

Height: 6’1

Weight: 220 lbs.

Anime: Lookism

Powers: No

Zack Lee is actually pretty tall, and we’ve been noticing a bunch of Lookism characters are compared to the average male height among anime characters.

That said, he doesn’t quite stand up to our other behemoths inside our Anime Workouts Database, and judging by his height and aesthetic shown in the webcomic and Netflix take, his weight is WAY above what we’d usually think he was at.

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.

Zack Lee 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.

Zack Lee 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 Zack Lee we’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page, which starts us off with virtually nothing for his bio section, but builds on it with a good amount of information for his physical abilities which we’ll be utilizing as well.

Just to get a bit of background information, here’s how they start:

Zack Lee is a secondary character in Lookism. He is a student in the fashion department of J High School, as well as Mira’s love interest.

They also go on to say this in his appearance section which I think is relevant for us as well:

Zack’s height is rather tall, reaching at least 185 cm. As a result of his physical training, he has a sturdy, muscular physique, at one point reaching 99 .8kg.

Above I mentioned that his slender physique does not come anywhere close to 99.8kg, but we’ll also need to recognize the fact that he bulked up significantly over time – which may be a good reason to start with this routine and then eventually make your way to some weight training as well.

From here they give us a TON of information about his fighting prowess, starting off with this:

Zack is a very capable fighter who can hold his own against most of his peers in school and was placed in the same caliber as Vasco and Daniel. Unlike Vasco or Daniel, Zack had neglected his training for quite some time as he was confident that his fighting ability was enough to hold his own against any opponent at the start of the series. His pride in his abilities has since been humbled by the staggering number of formidable fighters around him who possess even more talent than him. Once realizing he’s no longer able to fully protect Mira, he has decided to resume training with a mindset that his hard work would surpass his enemy’s and friend’s talents.

Zack is a proficient out-boxer, having trained since childhood and is considered a formidable opponent by his peers due to his outstanding talent earning him achievements in numerous competitions. His type of fighting style is a hit and run outboxer. Zack’s out-boxing style is typical, relying heavily on speed to deliver quick combinations utilizing straight punches with little in the way of body blows. This fighting style effectively placing Zack in a position to attack and denying his opponents counterattack. When pressed, Zack will normally use his footwork and head movement to evade.

One of the main focuses of this routine, on top of Zack’s lean and toned physique, is going to be his speed.

Here’s how they continue on about his fighting abilities:

Only a handful of fighters can actually keep up with Zack and dodge his punches such as Daniel Park and Johan. As such, Zack’s speed has been used as a benchmark for other fighters. If the said opponent is on par with or surpasses Zack’s speed, they are considered threats not to be taken lightly which is a further testament to the danger Zack’s speed possesses.

However, as a result of Zack’s reliance on his speed, fighters that equal or surpass found themselves in a position much more favorable to victory.

However, Zack is not set in his style, having created counters to techniques used against him such as being able to respond to Daniel’s utilization of a body blow in Zack’s later fight with Logan Lee. Beyond skill, Zack has also demonstrated vast improvements to himself after resuming training, giving up his pride in exchange for grit and determination. On a mental level, this has given Zack greater endurance and resolve to see his strategies through such as enduring Daniel Park’s attacks to formulate his own counterattacks. On a physical level, this has resulted in Zack becoming immensely more powerful, stunning Johan and Daniel in a past fight with narration stating that he has the style and tendencies of an out-boxer but the power of a in-fighter.

So we have speed, but we’ll also need to work on endurance and keep in mind that Zack began training to become more powerful as well.

That means the goals for our Zack Lee Inspired Workout are:

• Zack Lee’s Speed and Endurance
• Zack Lee’s Endurance
• Zack Lee’s Pivot into Strength Training

This one is going to feel pretty intense being that we’re shooting to be as fast as Zack Lee, while also shredding down to get his lengthy, lean boxer physique.

We’ll have endurance work and intensity training in here to accomplish this as well, which means if it feels a bit too much for you, you’ll need to scale it down yourself or even start with one of our Beginner Workouts instead.
