Joe from Sk8 The Infinity is shredded enough to sign up for a Men’s Physique Competition.
Which is why he’s a perfect new member of our Sports Themed Anime Workouts Database.
I actually haven’t watched Sk8 The Infinity yet, but a good handful of you requested him after I made the list of the top ten sports themed anime of all time and when I checked him out I realized we needed to get him on the site ASAP.
And, before we get too deep into it, I want it to be clear that this one will definitely be training around weights, similar to a structure we’d use if you were to be getting into physique bodybuilding competitions.
That said, it will also be accessible to all fitness levels to jump right into with a tad bit of scaling in either direction.
Joe Stats:
Real Name: Kojiro Nanjo
Height: 6’1
Weight: 185 lbs.
Anime: Sk8 The Infinity
Powers: No
Joe is actually quite tall, but about five or six inches off of being classified as a behemoth within our Anime Workouts Database.
But with his mass he would definitely qualify as one if he had the height!
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.

Joe Sk8 The Infinity 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.

Joe Sk8 The Infinity 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 Joe we’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page, starting with what they give us for his bio section here:
Kojiro Nanjo, known in “S” as Joe, is a character in the SK8 the Infinity anime series. A skilled skater and founding member of “S”, he uses his unique build and stature to skate in an aggressive, movement-orientated fashion.
This starts us on the right track, immediately mentioning his stature as one of the key things about him – which is also going to be key in how we build out this workout.
From there they go on to discuss his appearance section, again mentioning the muscular physique:
Kojiro is a tall, muscular man with slightly tanned skin and wavy hair of a dark forest green, short aside from a small section at the back of his head that reaches down past the base of his neck. He has red eyes that slope gently outwards as well as a black, sun-shaped abstract tattoo on his left shoulder, and is most always seen wearing an easygoing expression. Outside of “S”, his usual attire consists of plain jeans and an orange and white striped shirt, though he’s also been seen wearing a different array of dark colored T-shirts and other colored shirts. When working at Sia la luce, he wears a white double-breasted chef’s top and black pants, a long, dark red apron tied at his waist.
We’re dealing with a skater here, so we’re not going to see the same powers and abilities that we’re used to seeing with many of the anime characters that land in our database, but breaking down that section still gives us a good amount of information to work with.
Here’s how they start us off:
Joe is one of the strongest skaters in “S”. Having been into the sport since his teenage years, it can be inferred that he’s spent a lot of time honing his skills even into his adult life. He’s well-known in “S” as the ‘Six-Pack Skater’ due to the unusual, strength-orientated style he uses when skating.
So one thing that will obviously be something we shoot for on top of a muscular physique is overall strength building, which will thankfully go hand in hand with our current goals.
From there they go on to discuss a bit more of his abilities:
General Prowess: A skilled skater and a founding member of “S”, Joe has been shown to be a proficient skater capable of dominating most every race he’s challenged to, even wrangling himself up an “S” fanclub in the process. He’s able to skate along “S”‘s dangerous tracks and perform dangerous tricks with ease thanks to the absolute control he has over his body, which, when added to the raw amount of skill he’s been seen to have, makes him a very formidable opponent in beefs.
Unique Style: Joe skates in a style which takes full advantage of his large and muscular build, and that would be considered reckless if it came from any other skater. He uses his unique strength to overcome difficult terrain, shown using only his legs to propel himself off a wall and a girder while going full speed. He includes biking moves into his style such as the superman in which the person will plank to gain speed by being more aerodynamic; without the bike handles or seat to hold onto he uses his brute strength alone to suspend himself above his board.
As you can see a lot of this is going to revolve around his muscular build and strength, but we’re also going to need to factor in the endurance he has for the sport as well.
That means the goals for our Joe Sk8 The Infinity Inspired Workout are:
- Joe’s Muscular and Toned Aesthetic Physique
- Joe’s Irregular and Brute Strength
- Joe’s Speed and Endurance
As I mentioned above: this one will be fairly okay for almost any fitness level to jump into and start off with – which is the great thing about weight training, especially for aesthetics.
You guys will have the opportunity to scale back on the overall volume if you’d like, or even step it up a notch and add in some volume or overall load to your movements as you progress through the weeks.
That said, if it does seem a bit too much to start off with and you’re not too familiar with scaling just yet, you can also start off with our Beginner Behemoth Workout and then work your way up to this one.
Check out all The SHJ Programs and start unleashing your inner SuperHuman.
