You guys have been waiting for him to join our Lookism Workouts Database for a long time, but it is finally time for Johan Seong to make his way in and join our other awesome characters.
When we first started adding our Lookism characters to SHJ we initially went on a rampage, completely filling up SHJ with character after character until we had over a dozen different workouts.
But you guys have been persistent with Johan Seong enough to finally give him his slot among the others.
And, for those of you wondering, this one will actually be joining our other calisthenics workouts and will be built completely around bodyweight movements.
Johan Seong Stats:
Real Name: Johan Seong
Height: 6′
Weight: N/A
Anime: Lookism
Powers: No
Johan Seong is actually fairly tall compared to other male characters we’ve seen at SHJ.
He misses being classified as a behemoth among our Anime Workouts Database by about a half a foot, but he still brings our average height range up ever so slightly.
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.

Johan Seong 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.

Johan Seong 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 Johan Seong I’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page starting with this super brief bio section they share for him:
Johan Seong is a supporting character in Lookism. He was a childhood friend of Mira and Zack, as well as the leader of God Dog.
From there we can move into his appearance section, which is relevant for Johan because we don’t always get a chance to see his overall aesthetic so we’ll be utilizing this towards our workout as well. Here’s how they break it down:
Johan has child-like appearance, a lean and slender physique; when he cross dressed, he was said to have nice hips. Johan’s hair is styled into a brown mullet, with bangs barely covering his eyes. His eye color is black; however, it has been noted after the God Dog arc that his left eye has started to turn gray, signifying his growing blindness.
His lean and slender physique is what we’ll be looking to accomplish for this one.
When we move down into his powers and abilities section we can learn a lot more about what we’ll work with on top of his aesthetic:
Johan is a member of the fearsome Big 4 Crew and is the leader of one of its main 4 Crews, The God Dog Crew. Jace has stated that Johan, unlike the other crews, never needed a right-hand man or extra muscle to back him up. Johan’s true potential was always held back because he did not want to cause trouble for his mom by fighting. However, he finally decided to reach his fighting potential in order to save his mom from being stoned to death during the Cult arc.
Much like Daniel Park, Johan is the only other character in the series thus far who has been shown to be able to execute a technique perfectly just by having seen it once. This is shown when Johan mastered Zack’s jabs just by seeing it in action once. A few years later he would use that very technique to save his mom’s life, by jabbing stones thrown at her before they hit her. However, unlike Daniel, he seems to stick with the first fighting style he learned (boxing from Zack) and has only improved upon it, whereas Daniel switches between various fighting styles to better suit himself in a fight.
If we continue to read into his abilities we learn more about his technique and potentially lack of physicality that we may be used to seeing with some of our other male anime characters:
Johan uses the same fighting style as Zack – boxing, heavily relying on speed and bursts of power to increase the force of his punches. Johan’s talent even surpasses Zack, someone who has trained in boxing since he was young. He is faster than Zack, as stated by many characters, and was the first to beat Daniel in a race (albeit Daniel had run 3 miles prior to their race). He defeated Zack in a boxing match as his punches were too fast for Zack to dodge.
As displayed in his fights against Gun and Eli, he seems to lack the natural build of a fighter. While he looks like he has a weak physicality, he is actually quite strong, despite his build seemingly being more suited for speed. Johan can unleash all his energy in a single moment, creating immense burst power and strength enough to forcefully open a locked steel door, as seen in the Animal Cruelty arc. Gun, a legendary fighter, chooses Johan as a candidate for his successor, but later disqualifies him. However, the only weakness he faced was that his physicality was lacking in comparison to his skill. Gun himself compares Jonah to a computer with “software (that) is cutting edge but… hardware from the 90s”, stating that in that regard, he is the opposite of Vasco, who possesses poor skill but high physical abilities.
Ever since his defeat at the hands of Gun, Johan has increased his physicality to the point where he could overpower Seth Lee in a contest of strength (someone who can bend metal rods with his thumb) while copying Vasco. He has also managed to copy Jake Kim’s MMA flip, which he used on Goo.
So, though he lacks some of the size of others and doesn’t have the natural build of a fighter (and weak physicality) he is actually pretty styrong “despite his build seemingly being more suited for speed”.
That said, we’ll look to increase our strength AND speed while staying lean and toned.
That means the goals for our Johan Seong Inspired Workout are:
- Johan’s Lean and Slim but Toned Physique
- Johan’s Speed and Surprising Strength
- Johan’s Fighter Mobility and Body Control
This one won’t be too far into advanced, but I would say it is geared more towards intermediate lifters – though beginners could give it a shot with some scaling.
If it seems a bit too intense you could also start with one of our Beginner Workouts and then work your way up to this one.

Johan Seong Workout Routine
Training Volume:
4-5 days per week
Explanation:
For this one we’re going to be taking a format we used for Zack Lee and turning it on it’s head. Instead of completing super intense circuit training we’ll be doing Giant Sets to mimic the intensity while still leaving room for rest time that will enable us to work on endurance and speed outside of the circuits themselves. We’ll have four days a week of our calisthenics training, a Boxer Style Circuit Test to complete weekly, and some endurance resources you can tack on top as well to step this one up a notch.
Jump Rope Scaling Guide:
Scale Jump Rope Skips to Jumping Jacks or Toe Taps onto a DB or KB or Stair. Also scale from 100 to 30-50 reps as needed.
