Might Guy is one of the more popular routines inside our Naruto Inspired Workouts, but it’s time for him to come in for some bodyweight training.
We have a lot of our other characters doubling up with both calisthenics workouts and weight training workouts, so it’s only right if we add Might Guy to that list as well.
Naruto is one of the most popular categories on the entire site, and every new addition makes it that much better.
So while I do love our original Might Guy Inspired Workout, I know we’re going to have a lot of fun with this one as well.
Might Guy Stats:
Real Name: Might Guy
Height: 6’
Weight: 167 lbs.
Anime/Manga: Naruto
Powers: Yes
Might Guy is fairly tall compared to other male anime characters inside our Anime Workouts Database, but still about half a foot off of what we’d consider a behemoth.
Though, he is actually one of the taller Naruto characters considering a lot of them are coming in much younger when we research them.
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.

Might Guy 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.

Might Guy Calisthenics 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 Might Guy I’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page, starting with his brief bio section here:
Might Guy is a jōnin of Konohagakure. A master of taijutsu, Guy leads and passes his wisdom onto the members of Team Guy.
We know what we’re working with for his aesthetics, and thankfully when we move into his abilities they start breaking down of his background, so for that reason we’re going to go right in.
Here’s how they start off his abilities section:
Despite a poor start in his ninja career, Might Guy’s potential growth was openly acknowledged by the famous Sakumo. He ultimately proved himself a late-bloomer, becoming recognised as one of Konoha’s strongest ninja. His extreme power has been acknowledged by the likes of Itachi Uchiha, warning the entire Akatsuki not to underestimate him, and even Kakashi, who completely trusted Guy to aid him in battle. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, he fought off the Six-Tails alone and with his fullest capacities unlocked, nearly defeated Madara Uchiha as the Ten-Tails’ jinchūriki (who compared Guy’s performance to the First Hokage), albeit this very nearly cost his life.
Despite his permanent damage from the Fourth Shinobi World War officially ending his ninja career, after continued rehab, Guy was able to adjust to this apparent handicap to remain as powerful as ever. Ultimately, Guy became recognised as a legendary shinobi.
From there they go on to discuss his Taijutsu which we’ll want to cover first:
Because Guy had little talent in ninjutsu and genjutsu as a child, he dedicated himself to perfecting his taijutsu. By adulthood, Guy is a taijutsu master with advanced skill in several styles and likewise equal knowledge in styles that he does not. He specialises in Strong Fist style to effectively adjust his attack patterns and battle tactics to best handle the situation with various unorthodox yet effect strikes. Ultimately, his fighting skills allow him to almost never has to rely on weapons. His skill has even been acknowledged by Madara himself as unsurpassed in physical combat. After losing usage of his right foot, Guy’s style became more stationary, balancing on his left leg and position himself so his natural weight works with him. He will use his remaining limbs to battle, even strike with his right knee, and employ flips and handsprings to move about quickly.
Guy conditioned himself to the absolute peak of physical prowess by constantly challenging himself through various arduous training means. Without the aid of chakra enhancement, Guy can perform various seemingly inhuman feats. With a single hand, he can casually plough opponents deep into a rock wall, and with even more effort, launch the foe clear through it and a great distance away. Likewise, his sheer speed is consistently able to attack an opponent before they are fully aware of his presence, if at all. His stamina and recovery rate lets him continue fighting for extremely long periods of time or return to battle-ready in extremely short periods of time.
They also go on to discuss his Eight Gates, Ninjutsu, and other skills, but his Taijutsu and where they mention he “conditioned himself to the absolute peak of physical prowess” is where we’re really going to focus here.
We have looked at other skill trees for Naruto characters so a lot of you will be familiar with this breakdown, but Might Guy gets;
Strength: 5/5
Speed: 5/5
Stamina: 5/5
So we’re dealing with an extremely powerful character.
And our goals are going to be built around this.
The goals for our Might Guy Inspired Workout are:
- Might Guy’s Lean and Toned Aesthetic
- Might Guy’s Peak Physical Prowess
- Might Guy’s Strength, Speed and Stamina
This one is obviously going to have to be intense, considering we’re dealing with Might Guy, but I’ll make sure it’s scalable for you guys as well.
If you want a good workout to start with you’re likely going to want to start with The Beginner Ninja Workout, but really any of our Beginner Workouts are a great starting point.
