Jack Hanma is a Canadian pit fighter, Yujiro’s son and Baki’s half-brother. Baki’s official profile says he obtained his ultimate body through extreme doping and training far beyond common sense. That makes him one of anime’s most intense physique icons, and one of its clearest warnings.
THE CHARACTER BEHIND THE MOTIVATION
Jack’s story is built on excess: more drugs, more training and more risk than anyone around him. The series presents that as obsession, not as a method. Hypekage’s reading is deliberately the opposite of his approach. If his size and determination appeal to you, the useful lesson is that commitment shows up as consistency, not as stacking volume until something breaks. This page gives no drug, dosing or supplement discussion beyond stating that his path is not a model to copy. A real plan uses a fixed set ceiling, planned rest days and progress you can log. Height, bone structure and his drawn proportions are not trainable targets.
Train hard enough to progress while keeping volume, sleep and recovery inside sensible limits.
Use this as a starting point for choosing your own goal. Character artwork and supernatural abilities cannot predict your physique or rate of progress.

Draft for coach review. This is a complete editorial draft with proposed exercises and progression. Fitness coach review is pending. Review the starting-dose notes before using the tables.
For adults who can practice the listed movements at a manageable starting level. Train hard enough to progress while keeping volume and recovery inside sensible limits. Have a coach check the setup and any existing sport workload. Jumping, hanging and sport-specific stance tasks are optional only after appropriate readiness and technique have been checked.

Day A uses a loaded squat, an assisted pull-up and an incline push-up, each stopping with repetitions in reserve, plus a short carry.
Day B uses a split squat, a supported row and a floor press. The listed set counts are a ceiling, so extra work never becomes the measure of commitment.
For adults only as a general editorial draft. Review existing symptoms, relevant conditions, experience and total sport workload with a qualified coach before choosing a block.
For adults who can practice the listed movements at a manageable starting level. Train hard enough to progress while keeping volume and recovery inside sensible limits. Have a coach check the setup and any existing sport workload. Jumping, hanging and sport-specific stance tasks are optional only after appropriate readiness and technique have been checked.
Week 1: use one work set per resistance movement and the lowest interval or skill dose shown. Later set counts are proposed targets only after manageable recovery. Keep two or three controlled repetitions available and never test a maximum.
Use the listed alternative if a movement or impact task is unsuitable. If neither version is appropriate, have your coach replace it. Do not imitate supernatural loads, forced stretching, waterfall exposure, head impacts or loose-rock lifting.
Follow the order, work intervals, and rest shown in your chosen session. Warm-up practice is separate from the proposed work dose. Keep movement controlled and stop a set or interval earlier if technique changes.
| Day | Session |
|---|---|
| Monday | Odd weeks: A · Squat, pull and push; even weeks: B · Single-leg, row and press |
| Tuesday | Rest or comfortable easy activity |
| Wednesday | Odd weeks: B · Single-leg, row and press; even weeks: A · Squat, pull and push |
| Thursday | Rest or comfortable easy activity |
| Friday | Odd weeks: A · Squat, pull and push; even weeks: B · Single-leg, row and press |
| Saturday | Rest; do not make up missed sessions |
| Sunday | Review the log and prepare the next week |
Day A uses a loaded squat, an assisted pull-up and an incline push-up, each stopping with repetitions in reserve, plus a short carry.
Walk comfortably for 4 minutes, then rehearse five unloaded squats and five comfortable ankle or hip movements. Review the setup for squat, pull and push; use a light practice set before loaded work. Optional impact or technical footwork requires prior coach assessment.
| Exercise | Sets / rounds | Reps / duration | Rest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goblet squat | 2 | 6–10 | 90 seconds |
| Foot-assisted pull-up | 2 | 4–6 | 120 seconds |
| Incline push-up | 2 | 6–10 | 90 seconds |
| Light farmer carry | 2 | 20–30 seconds | 90 seconds |
| Dead bug heel tap | 2 | 5–8 each side | 60 seconds |
Hold a manageable dumbbell or kettlebell close to the chest. Sit between the hips through a comfortable depth; keep breathing and stand smoothly. This is the primary movement to log in Jack · Recoverable Full-Body Volume; keep its setup consistent.
Alternative: Unloaded chair squat with the same repetition target.
Use a rated fixed bar with a stable platform beneath the feet. Let the legs assist through a comfortable range; do not jump into the start or drop down.
Alternative: Light lat pulldown with an instructor-checked setup.
Use an immovable counter or securely fixed gym bar. Lower the chest toward it while keeping the trunk controlled; choose a higher surface if necessary.
Alternative: Wall push-up at the same dose.
Use manageable paired weights and a clear flat route. Walk slowly with relaxed shoulders and set down before grip or posture deteriorates.
Alternative: Short unloaded walk with upright posture.
Lie on a mat with knees bent above the hips. Lower one heel only as far as the trunk remains comfortable and still; alternate slowly while breathing.
Alternative: Feet-down abdominal brace for five normal breaths.
Day B uses a split squat, a supported row and a floor press. The listed set counts are a ceiling, so extra work never becomes the measure of commitment.
Use 4 minutes of easy walking or marching. Rehearse single-leg, row and press without challenging load or speed, then check the space, support and planned rest. Keep this a preparation period rather than another work interval.
| Exercise | Sets / rounds | Reps / duration | Rest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supported split squat | 2 | 6–8 each side | 90 seconds after both sides |
| Supported dumbbell row | 2 | 8 each side | 90 seconds |
| Dumbbell floor press | 2 | 6–10 | 90 seconds |
| Glute bridge | 2 | 8–12 | 60 seconds |
| Knee-supported side plank | 2 | 10–20 seconds each side | 60 seconds |
Hold an immovable support, take a split stance and lower vertically through a comfortable range. Keep the front foot grounded; use bodyweight before load.
Alternative: Chair squat, 8 repetitions.
Brace one hand on an immovable bench. Keep the trunk still and pull a light dumbbell toward the hip without twisting. Lower slowly.
Alternative: Seated row machine adjusted by an instructor.
Use light weights and a setup your coach has checked. Lie on a mat, lower upper arms gently to the floor and press without bouncing or holding your breath.
Alternative: Incline push-up at an appropriate height.
Lie on a mat, knees bent, feet flat. Lift hips without arching the lower back. Lower slowly and keep breathing.
Alternative: Standing hip extension with stable support.
Support on the forearm and bent knees, lift hips a small comfortable amount and breathe. Stop before the shoulder or trunk position changes.
Alternative: Side-lying abdominal brace without lifting.
Use one set of each resistance task and the lowest skill or interval dose shown. For Jack · Recoverable Full-Body Volume, begin by checking setup and this measure: Record reserve on the last set and next-day recovery, not total volume.
If ordinary movement and recovery remain comfortable, use the stated sets; keep load, range and speed at the first week’s manageable level. Add a repetition before adding load, and never add sets beyond those listed. If sleep or soreness gets worse, repeat the previous week.
Add a repetition before adding load, and never add sets beyond those listed. If sleep or soreness gets worse, repeat the previous week. Repeat a week whenever technique or recovery becomes less consistent. Record reserve on the last set and next-day recovery, not total volume.
Repeat the best-controlled recent dose instead of testing a maximum. Overtraining and performance drugs are part of Jack’s story and are not a model to copy. This draft contains no drug, dosing or supplement guidance. Review the log and this block’s focus with your coach before another progression.

BEFORE YOU START
Baki’s official profile describes Jack as a pit fighter who built his body through extreme doping and training far beyond common sense. Hypekage reads that as a cautionary story. This block is the opposite: moderate volume, planned rest, and no drugs or supplements. The sessions and progression are Hypekage’s proposed adult practice block, not a canon prescription.
Jack’s height and size are shaped by fiction and by drug use the series itself presents as extreme. No real program can or should recreate that. The exact appearance of a stylized character is not a predictable training outcome.
Check the full equipment list, the starting-dose notes and 3-day weekly schedule with your coach. The 6-week draft includes progression and alternatives but has not yet been coach-approved.
