It’s time to bring in another one of Humanity’s Reps in The Record of Ragnarok!
This time we’re bringing in our first rep: Lu Bu.
We’ve already had his competitor here at SHJ within our Record of Ragnarok Inspired Workouts, that competitor being Thor.
He joins tons of others as you guys continue to flood our request form for more ROR characters with the release of season two on Netflix.
For this one we’ll be training to get massive like Lu Bu Fengxian, so if you’re not here for weight training you likely want to be headed into our calisthenics workouts to make a swap.
Lu Bu Stats:
Real Name: Lu Bu Fengxian
Height: N/A
Weight: N/A
Anime/Manga: Record of Ragnarok
Powers: Yes
Lu Bu is massive. He definitely joins our behemoths within The Anime Workouts Database.
While we don’t have an exact height and weight for him we do know the form he takes is humongous.
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.

Lu Bu 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.

Lu Bu 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 Lu Bu I’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page starting with what they give us for his bio section here:
Lü Bu Fengxian is Humanity’s representative in the first round of Ragnarok, going against Thor. Lü Bu is also the main character of his spin-off manga, “The Legend of Lü Bu“.
Lü Bu, also known as “The Flying General“, hails from Ancient China and was a prominent warlord during the Three Kingdoms period and is considered by many to be the “Strongest Warrior in History”.
Lü Bu was considered to be a violent, bloodthirsty and fearless warrior, being seen as a “God of War” and a “Furious Dragon” on the battlefield.
You have to be a really fun character to warrant your own spin-off manga, like Senior Manager Kim from Lookism, for example.
I’m skipping right past his appearance section being that we know he’s enormous and muscular with a shredded aesthetic.
Instead I’ll be moving down to his powers and abilities, starting with the section about his overall abilities:
Overall Abilities: Lü Bu is considered to be China’s strongest hero and warrior. Even other legendary Chinese figures like Guan Yu and Dong Zhuo acknowledged his prowess. It has also been stated by Guan Yu that Lü Bu’s raw power alone was already enough for him to be recognized as the strongest man in the Three Kingdoms. Lü Bu also managed to fight on equal terms with the Nordic’s Strongest Warrior and the God’s Vanguard, Thor.
This only begins to tell us what we’re in for with this workout.
When we move into his physical abilities we learn that we have our work cut out for us:
Godlike Strength: Lü Bu possesses nigh-absolute physical strength. He could take on Thor’s Hammer head-on, despite only being a Human. His strongest swing, called Sky Eater, even managed to part the clouds for several miles. In his spin-off, he managed to hurl a flag twice his size a phenomenally far distance, throw gigantic boulders on top of one another effortlessly and break constraints made of “Kegai Steel” (which have been stated to be stronger than any chains) just by flexing his muscles.
Godlike Speed & Reflexes: Lü Bu has displayed immense speed and reflexes. He is capable of blocking arrows and avoid getting hit by Mu Shun’s Kaleido Qilin (an attack that appears to be fast enough to create afterimages) without putting any effort. During his match, he was capable of dodging and blocking most of Thor’s attacks, despite the God being fast enough to kill multiple Giants without them being able to even perceive his attacks. He was able to keep up with Red Hare’s speed, who was fast enough to create a Sonic boom.
Godlike Durability: Lü Bu was shown to be durable enough to take the force of one of Thor’s most powerful techniques, Thor’s Hammer easily, even managing to counterattack. He later took on Thor’s Geirröd in a head-on clash, an attack that was once used to bury Jörmungandr, a gigantic serpent (possibly large enough to surround the Earth itself), in a single hit, however his legs were destroyed in the process.
Godlike Endurance & Stamina: Lü Bu was capable of exerting himself to his physical and mental limit throughout the duration of his fight with a God without showing any signs of fatigue. He can swing a halberd over 36 thousand times non-stop and he can continue this process for months and years with little to no rest.
At least this makes it pretty obvious what we’ll be looking to accomplish with this workout.
The goals for our Lu Bu Inspired Workout are going to be:
- Lu Bu’s Massive Muscular Physique
- Lu Bu’s Godlike Strength and Speed
- Lu Bu’s Godlike Endurance and Stamina
The stamina does add another layer to our training, and for that we’ll be throwing in endurance work on top of our weightlifting, but it will be your decision whether or not you want to add it in or cut back on it.
This one will be super high volume so if you’d like to start with an easier routine your best bet would be our Beginner Behemoth Workout or any of our Beginner Workouts.

Lu Bu Workout Routine
Training Volume:
5-6 days per week
Explanation:
For this one I’ll be building off of a behemoth training split that is one of the training methodology’s Dwayne Johnson uses and molding it around Lu Bu’s abilities to come away with a 5 day lifting split with endurance work and an optional day devoted to a Sky Eater Circuit Test (or additional endurance training).
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.
