It’s time to train like another Lookism behemoth.
We had Samuel Seo join our Lookism Inspired Workouts, but now we’re getting even bigger with Tom Lee.
And by even bigger I mean 2-3 inches and about 200 pounds of mass.
Tom Lee comes in within the top three strongest Lookism characters and it is generally a unanimous decision among fans that he’s one of the strongest in the entire series.
I shouldn’t have to point it out for you guys to know this, but I’m going to do it anyway: for this one we’re definitely going to be training with weights.
The goal will be reiterated below with a full breakdown, but we’re going to be looking to get massive and strong as hell.
Tom Lee Stats:
Real Name: Tom Lee
Height: 6′7.5
Weight: 440+ lbs.
Anime/Manga: Lookism
Powers: No
Tom Lee is a behemoth among our Anime Workouts Database.
Our height range has been growing the longer we go on, but aside from some One Piece characters and some other random monsters, Tom Lee stands in there with some of the tallest we’ve seen.
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.

Tom 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.

Tom 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 Tom Lee I’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page which leads us off with this:
Tom Lee is a secondary character in Lookism. He also makes an appearance in Manager Kim Webtoon.
I should have warned you by telling you his bio section doesn’t give us much information; but we’re used to it from some of our anime.
This bio section is similar to what we expect from our My Hero Academia characters at this point, but don’t worry, we’re going to be breaking down some more before we move into Tom Lee’s workout routine.
Since his aesthetic is going to be a huge portion of how we write this workout, I also want to share a short snippet from his appearance section here:
Tom is a big, muscular man with square face, small eyes and long unkempt hair. He is often seen with a very wide smile. He always wears white gloves on his left hand, but he says he can’t fold his left hand. He prefers fighting only in boxers to avoid getting his expensive clothes dirty and is usually seen undressing himself right before fighting seriously. In the past, he is seen wearing a bum hat and beggar-like clothes.
Not much that isn’t obvious from the images of him; but still something that’s nice to breakdown a bit for any of our cosplayers inside The SHJ Army.
We’re going to learn even more once we get into his fighting abilities and physical prowess.
His Fandom tells us just how powerful he is here:
Not much is known about Tom’s fighting style but he’s shown to be very fast for his hulking figure, as he was able to surprise Johan Seong with his speed. His overall durability and endurance are on a whole different level compared to the other characters as he was able to take strikes from the likes of Warren Chae and Johan Seong with ease showing little to no harm done to him. Tom also possesses immense physical strength being able to lift the back of a car with one hand and hit Johan once and send him flying into a wall.
His many years of fighting experience were shown when he tricked Warren into thinking he was going for a headbutt to unpredictably bite one of his eyes instead. He can be quite ruthless in a fight, stomping out Daniel Park relentlessly until he was completely knocked out. He fought with Vice president of workers Mandeok Bang who held his own against Tom with the help of Cap Guy.
The speed we’ll be looking to build are going to come from our weight training as well, but I’ll also be adding in some intensity to put that to the test.
Endurance training is something we don’t generally love tacking on when we want to focus on mass, but considering Tom Lee’s is such a big part of his strengths we’ll also have to tack that on top.
You guys will have to make up for this within your diet if you’re looking to get as big as Tom Lee.
That means the goals for our Tom Lee Inspired Workout are:
- Tom Lee’s Massive Physique and Toned Aesthetic
- Tom Lee’s Incredible Strength and Speed
- Tom Lee’s Overwhelming Endurance
This one is going to be extremely high volume and is likely not one you want to jump into if you’re a beginner.
If you’d like, you can start with our Beginner Behemoth Workout or even one of our other Beginner Workouts and then work your way up to this one.
I would say this one is more of an advanced routine, but can be okay for intermediate lifters as well.
Check out all The SHJ Programs and start unleashing your inner SuperHuman.
Tom Lee Workout Routine
Training Volume:
6 days per week
Explanation:
For this one we’re going to be training with one of my favorite splits that allows us to hit every body part separately each day of the week. This also gives us some room for cardio within our training to stay lean and work one endurance and overall health as well. Every 2-4 weeks you can also sub one of the days for your optional Behemoth Fighter Circuit Test.
The Superhero Academy now comes with an Upgrade Your Workout Tool that allows Academy members to turn any SHJ workout into a 4-8 week fully planned regime detailing exact weights to lift and including reverse & traditional pyramid training, straight sets, super sets, progressive overload and more.

Would a 14 year old suffer any side effects from doing this workout?
That’s a question for the doctor and specific to each individual. I generally would recommend calisthenics for younger athletes.
Thanks for answering!I’ll do the toji fushiguro calisthenics workout instead.
That’s a solid idea.
