Retsu Kaioh Workout Routine

Retsu Kaioh is an incredible fighter, undoubtedly one of the top Chinese fighters and dominating worldwide, as we see in the series. Plus, he has the same last name as the top Chinese martial artist who even came back from the dead after fighting Yujiro. You know the clan is precisely like the Hanma clan. The amusing thing about Retsu Kaioh is that he looks like a bodybuilder even though he is a Chinese martial art user.

So it’s not possible to get a physique like Retsu Kaioh while thinking about getting the fitness level like him. Any martial artist, especially a Chinese martial artist, will never get that muscular or bulky, as it will restrict the movement. Kaku even explained this statement later in the series. So if you want to get a body physique like Retsu Kaioh, you will need to focus more on weight training and building muscles rather than learning martial arts.

So now the question is it possible to get a body like Retsu Kaioh naturally? The answer is nope, to get as bulky and muscular as Retsu Kaioh naturally will be super hard. However, it’s undoubtedly possible to get a similar muscle symmetry and body shape like Retsu Kaioh. You may not look as big as Retsu Kaioh, but you can indeed look in a similar shape. It will take proper training, dieting, and rest.

The training will not be as hard as you might think, as it will consist of a standard bodybuilding routine. However, the diet will indeed matter, so make sure you consume enough calories, and each meal should be healthy and consist of at least one source of protein. I would even suggest going to a nutritionist and getting your personalized diet plan. We will follow one of the methods known to work best to provide you with bulk for the workout. That’s lifting the max limit of your weight in each set with controlled movement and fewer reps.

Retsu Kaioh workout includes:

Weight Training

We will do a six-day workout focusing on each body area on different days to get an equal bulk. The workout will give you the proportion of a bodybuilder, which is also how Retsu Kaioh gets shown.
