Dude Trains Like One-Punch Man During The Pandemic, Gets Buff

[entremet]

This was done before, so not a new gimmick. Still impressive.

Back in 2019, in the before times, Kotaku reported that an investor named Sean trained like One-Punch Man for thirty days and got in terrific shape. Now, in 2021, another dude has trained like the character for a whole year.

As Yutara reports, YouTuber Jigoku Dera Guren Maru started at 82.7 kilograms (182 pounds). But every day, he did 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and ran 10 kilometers (6 miles for Yanks)—just like One-Punch Man.

Wouldn't call that buff. Good job losing the fat nonetheless.

 

[Superking]

i mean...he's pretty skinny at the end. very little muscle. probably better than at the start, but not really seeing what's so impressive, tbh.

 

[TronLight]

No way, doing a ton of cardio makes you lose weight, insane.

 

[Kwigo]

On one hand I'm very jealous of the people that could do this kind of stuff since the start of the pandemic, on the other hand I'm glad I could WFH even though I feel like I'm not doing anything but working since last year.

I was under impression that diet is more important than exercise if you want to lose weight

I would agree, but remember modern muscle standards are very warped. Tons of steroid use. Especially in Youtube, Hollywood, Fitness Industry.

Dense muscle is incredibly hard to build. You basically need to overfeed and train consistently for years and years.

This not bad for calisthenics without much progression.

 

[Sanka]

The running did it. That's a lot of running each day. So mostly just fat loss.

He's burning 4000 kcal per week with that running schedule. That adds up.

I still think it's very impressive. I got a similar kind of body to him, so I'll never look like a huge buff dude like in the movies, but training for many years has made me stronger although I still look like a small skinny dude when I wear normal clothes. Good job I say :)

in average, how many hours of running does it take to run 10km?

well yeah, but we're not talking bodybuilder level physique right? saitama is pretty muscular even if he's not huge, and something like that probably could be done in a year or so, i think.

 

[Doomguy Fieri]

Unfortunately he used the air conditioner a few times and missed out on becoming super strong.

 

[entremet]

Just from googling. Not a runner myself:

A noncompetitive, relatively in-shape runner usually completes one mile in about 9 to 10 minutes, on average. If you're new to running, you might run one mile in closer to 12 to 15 minutes as you build up endurance. Elite marathon runners average a mile in around 4 to 5 minutes.

Click to shrink...

So he was running for an hour at the beginning at least. But he would adapt quickly and get faster as he ran more.

 

[Deleted member 82064]

10km per day needs some real motivation.

Push-ups, sit-ups, and squats work very specific body areas and would add tone, not bulk, when done at body weight only.

10 km every day with no rest days can't be good for your knees I imagine, especially if you're starting from zero. Dude might be a walking stress fracture at this point.

 

[hobblygobbly]

judging from that video best thing he did was cutting and changing that hairstyle lol

He's young too. That helps a lot. If he was in 40s, it would be very unwise lol.

Although many ultra-marathoners do way more miles per day and some are way past 40.

 

[Imperfected]

I would guess he probably paces at about 8 minutes per mile over that distance, so about 48 minutes. If he's a good runner he could be clocking at closer to 6 minutes a mile, though.

 

[Superking]

hold up guys. i don't think i'm being unreasonable with what i was expecting. y'all think i'm saying he should be schwarzenegger when i was more expecting him to be like this:

 

[SquirrelSaysNuts]

Most people will injure themselves very quickly following this training plan - particularly by the running.
Exercise every day on the other hand is probably what everyone should try to emulate.

Um, Brad Pitt was training for years by this point, probably a good two decades or more--since a teen I'm guessing.

The guy in the OP in a rank novice.

Also, Brad Pitt was nearly fainting at this weight. It was a rough time. Don't let Hollywood bullshit fool you.

It 100% did damage to his knees and ankles unless he lost the weight before starting to run judging by the thumbnail.

People who put overweight people on treadmills/tell them to run without losing weight by dieting and doing other exercise first are meanace.

Also dude is turned out pretty well but it's nice lean muscle, he ain't buff.

The running part was always the most difficult part. I don't think I could run 10km a day with no rest days for a prolonged period of time, unless it was running/walking

 

[Zeel]

but he was more buff before and now he is just super slim or am I missing something?

It's pretty obvious that his diet change as well. I skimmed through the video but at least at two points he is eating a large portion of veggies.

How thin you must be so that running 10k everyday doesn't completely destroy your knees?

It's pretty much the word "buff" in the OP/article

he definitely lost a shit ton of weight and is in better shape though

 

[Dan Thunder]

Stupid to use the word buff as that's just such a loaded term and differs from person to person. I suppose they wouldn't get the same clicks if it said 'man runs 10k every day for a year and loses weight' though!

 

[Indy in the Fridge]

talk about unreasonable body expectations. this thread is full of'em

the dude dropped a ton of weight and got nearly every muscle group in his body into shape. nothing but respect. hollywood has fucked with some of y'alls heads. fucking lol at the brad pitt comparison.

 

[Waveset]

I'm assuming the 100 sit ups etc. Was achieved by doing reps through the day, I feel like I could do that but running 10k? No way.

 

[GungHo]

Shame on you for shitting on this guy's accomplishment.

Yes, that physique requires hard training and a pretty decent diet. Not unattainable by any means, but you won't get it overnight.

Depends on your starting point. The hardest part is oftentimes getting your body fat % that low.
But that Brad Pitt physique is easy to achieve if you know what you're doing. Minimum 6 months to a year tho.

 

[behOemoth]

The dedication to run 10k every day is enormous.

 

[Ultimate Bear Cub]

Respect. I'm doing a buildup to 100 for the pushups alone. Maybe I'll add the others as I improve.
