Izuku Midoriya

One For All

From Quirkless to the greatest hero. Midoriya's program follows the same foundational strength work All Might prescribed — progressive overload, full-body conditioning, and the relentless work ethic that built One For All.

Program Overview

Why This Program Works

Philosophy

Two differently-composed Full Body days, Endurance & Stamina, Upper & Core, and a fresh-authored Full Body Power day.

Physique Goal

Lean and capable — the look of someone who trained relentlessly to catch up, not someone born strong.

Performance Goal

Real bodyweight strength across every pattern, genuine carrying/pushing endurance, and explosive power by the end of the program.

How Progression Works

Rep progression within each phase, then a harder variant in phase two (assisted pull-up to pull-up, push-up to feet-elevated push-up). Target RIR drops from 3 to 2 across the two phases.

Training Philosophy

How Izuku Midoriya Trains

Midoriya started with nothing and became one of the strongest through relentless, methodical training. This program keeps that growth arc honest: real bodyweight strength, genuine endurance work, and a real progression from a beginner entry point toward advanced strength — no fictional power meditation required.
