Bullseye Workout: Train like The Marvel Comics Villain!

We’ve been on a bit of a comic tear relative to recent periods with Kingpin coming in last week and now Bullseye and America Chavez this week.

Which is pretty fun considering for a while there we were virtually just anime characters because we hit so many superheroes and comic characters in a row.

For this one we’re going to be building around bodyweight training and Bullseye will be added to our Calisthenics Workouts.

Which is good because our Marvel Workouts Database could use some more calisthenics-based training in it.

Bullseye Stats:

Real Name: Lester

Height: 6′

Weight: 175 lbs.

Comics: Marvel Comics

Powers: Yes/No

Bullseye is fairly tall if we compare him to all characters, but if we just zoom in on superheroes he’s actually a inch or two below average.

That said, he definitely wouldn’t make it into our behemoth category among our Anime Workouts Database.

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.

Bullseye 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.

Bullseye 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 Bullseye we’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page starting with his bio section here:

Bullseye is a major antagonist in the Marvel Universe, serving as the secondary antagonist of the Daredevil franchise and media, and a major antagonist in The Punisher and Thunderbolts franchises.

He is a psychopathic, opportunistic assassin who uses his occupation to fulfil his sadistic tendencies, and to seek revenge on the hero Daredevil. He is known for his ability to utilize any object he finds as a deadly weapon, most notably playing cards. Since his debut, he has become known as one of Daredevil’s most ruthless and enduring foes, having been responsible for numerous events and tragedies in the hero’s life, such as the deaths of his love interests Elektra and Karen Page.

He appears as a villain in numerous storylines, such as the titular protagonist villain of the miniseries Bullseye: Greatest Hits. He is one of Daredevil’s two archenemies (alongside Kingpin), and has appeared as an enemy towards numerous others heroes/anti-heroes, such as The Punisher, Deadpool, Hit-Monkey, Spider-Man and Hawkeye.

Right off the bat we know we’ll be building around assassin-like qualities, so be ready for acrobatic calisthenics maneuverability style training.

To start I just want to lead with his marksmanship abilities because it’s obviously such a core aspect of his character – but we won’t necessarily be building our routine around it in any way:

Master Marksman: Lester’s innate ability to throw any projectile with great unerring accuracy and deadliness borders on superhuman. His uncanny ability to use virtually any common object as a lethal projectile actually makes him more dangerous than many characters who do have superhuman powers. Although he is not technically superhuman, Bullseye can accomplish many feats with thrown projectiles that is at a degree of superhuman. He has demonstrated the ability to lacerate a person’s throat with a thrown playing card, spit his own tooth through a human skull, toss a paper airplane to a distant rooftop, and kill a person with a toothpick thrown through a window from a hundred yards away. He is also a dangerous sharpshooter, and his accuracy when wielding an object, the size and mass of a baseball is about 100 feet and even can hurl such objects at around 105 miles per hour.

I’ll tell you right now I won’t be able to teach you how to do that.

Olympic Physical Conditioning: Lester is an Olympic-level athlete and weightlifter. He is in overall exceptional physical condition, with the agility, reflexes, stamina, and speed of a professional or Olympic athlete.

Expert Acrobat: He is a skilled acrobat capable of performing many difficult feats and matching the feats of the finest human acrobats.

Master Assassin: He knows every pressure point and vulnerable spot on the human body and is able to turn virtually any object into a deadly weapon capable of incapacitating or killing an enemy. Lester is a deadly assassin often hired by the likes of the Kingpin for covert assassinations.

Master Martial Artist: Aside from his ability to throw projectiles with lethal accuracy, Bullseye is also proficient in many martial arts disciplines and is extremely talented in the use of edged weapons and conventional firearms. Often, his outspoken attitude during combat about using his abilities seems to have become one of his favorite weapons – intimidation. As such, he believes that his attention in the media grants him more effectiveness in combat with a near flawless reputation, rather than an assassin who often uses fear of the unknown.

This is where we’ll really be focusing for our routine.

It makes it pretty clear what we’ll be working around, so I’ll get right to it.

The goals for our Bullseye Inspired Workout are going to be:

• Bullseye’s Lean and Toned Muscular Aesthetic
• Bullseye’s Acrobat Assassin Mobility
• Bullseye’s Olympic Level Conditioning

This one is going to be fairly intense, considering Bullseye’s power level – but I’ll scale it back ever-so-slightly because while he may be extremely powerful – he’s still human.

And we’re used to seeing some extremely overpowered characters…

That said, if you want to start with one of our Beginner Workouts, the best place to start would be our Beginner Ninja Workout or even our Beginner Speedster Workout being that they’re both bodyweight based.

Bullseye Workout Routine

Training Volume:

3-5 days per week

Explanation:

For this one we’re going to be working around 3 days of high volume calisthenics and acrobat training (using a split I reserve specifically for Olympic level athletes and/or acrobats), mixing in what we’ve learned from research on actual Olympic level gymnasts and even acrobats, and then we’ll also have a day devoted to hero endurance and one final day for you to test your skills either weekly or biweekly on a Psychopathic Circuit Test (which will also be sticking to calisthenics and endurance work).

Want To Upgrade This Workout? 

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.
