Hidan Workout: Train like The Naruto Villain!

It’s time to bring in another Naruto character – who would have thought we still have some characters to get to?

Jokes aside, our Naruto Inspired Workouts Database is one of the largest on the entire site.

For this one we know going in that Hidan is extremely strong, but I’m going to be building this one out around bodyweight training, high volume and progressive overload.

You’re welcome, bodyweight members of The SHJ Army!

Hidan is coming into the Calisthenics Workouts Database.

Hidan Stats:

Real Name: Hidan

Height: 5’8

Weight: N/A

Anime: Naruto

Powers: Yes

Hidan isn’t short, but he’s also nearly a foot under what we’d consider a behemoth inside our Anime Workouts Database.

That said, his physique is toned and athletic, so we can assume he has a decent amount of mass.

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.

Hidan Diet and Nutrition

**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero, unless I mentioned differently (for example someone like Hulk may get something specifically different)**

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.

Hidan 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 Hidan I’ll be pulling from his Wiki Fandom, starting with his bio section here:

Hidan is an S-rank missing-nin who defected from Yugakure and later joined the Akatsuki, and a worshipper of Jashin. There, he was partnered with Kakuzu, despite the two’s somewhat mutual dislike of each other. He was also the second newest member of Akatsuki at the time of Tobi’s introduction. Kisame Hoshigaki laughingly referred to Hidan and Kakuzu as the Zombie Combo.

We’ll skip passed his appearance section, considering we know what we’re dealing with there, and move right onto his powers and abilities.

We won’t be becoming immortal for this (or nearly immortal), but I still want to break down each detail and give Hidan the full breakdown he deserves:

Hidan is a very powerful shinobi, whose skills lead to Yugakure choosing to not deal with the S-rank missing-nin, as there wasn’t a ninja in the village that could take him on. His skills were of a high enough standard to be recruited by Akatsuki, where alongside his partner Kakuzu, he defeated the Two-Tails’ jinchūriki in her Tailed Beast Mode, as well as Asuma, one of the Konohagakure’s top jōnin.

As a result of extensive experimenting with the Jashinists’ various techniques, Hidan’s main advantage is his inability to die from virtually all causes, with the exception of malnutrition. His immortality allows him to survive numerous fatal injuries, and almost any form of dismemberment; he even retained his ability to speak after having his head cut off. However, his head still needed to be connected to his body in order to control it, requiring Kakuzu to reattach it, and other body parts, when needed. Even Shikamaru’s attempt to blow Hidan into pieces using hundreds of explosive tags adhered to his entire body only succeeded in decapitating him and damaging his body (after weakening the tendons that Kakuzu used to re-attach his head). Even though he could survive most physical attacks, even ones that actually impaled him, he was still susceptible to pain, which he came to find pleasure in at the expense of his opponents.

That said, the main gist of our breakdown is going to come from his physical prowess.

Here’s how they break it down for us:

In battle, Hidan is shown to be very skilled in bukijutsu. He wielded a Triple-Bladed Scythe that he used as a short and long-range weapon. Despite its large and dangerous shape, Shikamaru speculated it was intended to draw blood, instead of inflicting fatal damage. He controlled it with a long metal cable that was connected to a coil hidden under his robe. He is exceptionally skilled at wielding it, capable of deflecting a swarm of shuriken thrown at close range. He has also demonstrated tremendous aim and control of where and how it will strike, making it highly difficult for his opponents to predict the weapon’s path. The unusual curvilinear trajectory that it took made it even more unpredictable, and Hidan was shown to be capable of causing the scythe to swerve perpendicularly and unexpectedly at a target even though the scythe was quite far from him. However, during his final battle against Kakashi and Team Asuma, the cable was destroyed by an explosive tag attached to a kunai thrown by Shikamaru. Hidan stated that the large size inhibited his attack speed, claiming he was the slowest attacker in Akatsuki.

Nevertheless, Hidan is extremely agile, having tremendous acrobatic prowess and dexterity in avoiding attacks, able to nimbly evade Shikamaru’s shadow while skilfully manipulating his scythe in mid-air. Hidan’s proficiency in evasion made it impossible for Asuma to land a single blow on him using taijutsu without Hidan being immobilised by Shikamaru’s Shadow Imitation Technique. He could also evade a massive fire ball fired at him at point-blank range, which reduced the building he was standing into rubble. He was also shown to be capable of dodging Shikamaru’s Chakra Blade aimed at him in mid-air, by thrusting his scythe into the trunk of a tree and using it as a stand, halting his fall and making the blade miss by a margin.

Apart from his immortality, Hidan possessed a tremendous level of durability and stamina, enduring massive fatal injuries and battling for considerable periods of time with no signs of fatigue. Moreover, his immortal body’s durability is so great that it could withstand virtually any form of damage and still function properly, only dismemberment via cutting was seen to be able to incapacitate him. Hidan is also invulnerable to injuries that should normally maim him despite him being immortal such as bone and muscle damages, as seen when he pierced his own femur during his fight against Asuma. The latter to whom the same damages were also inflicted due to Hidan’s curse could hardly stand and was limping by sheer willpower. Another testament to his great durability similar to the latter is the fact that Asuma’s Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning could maim his own arm but not Hidan’s. Despite his arms being severely damaged by Shikamaru’s Shadow Sewing Technique, Hidan was still steadily dual wielding his weapons. Even taking a direct hit from Kakuzu’s Wind Release: Pressure Damage, which hollowed out an entire area, did not leave any visible damage on Hidan’s body.

We have also seen a number of Naruto characters specific attributes and they rank Hidan’s:

Speed: 3.5

Strength: 4

Endurance: 5

So we’ll definitely be factoring that into our training.

The goals of our Hidan Inspired Workout are going to be:

• Hidan’s Toned and Muscular Aesthetic
• Hidan’s Acrobatic Prowess, Strength and Speed
• Hidan’s Tremendous Stamina & Endurance

This one is going to be fairly intense considering we’re dealing with a very strong character but also need to work around acrobatic abilities, and immense endurance, so if you want to start with a Beginner Workout I’d suggest going with The Beginner Speedster (though any of them are a great starting point).

That said, you can also scale this one down a notch and start here if you really want to jump right in.

Hidan Workout Routine

Training Volume:

3-5 days per week

Explanation:

We’re going to be doing some high intensity training with high volume calisthenics and endurance. You can scale this down by cutting out the extra calisthenics or the circuit each day and cutting back on the volume of rounds or overall sets. You’ll also have a day devoted to both endurance and a S-Rank Circuit Test you can complete weekly, biweekly or monthly as you’d like.
