In order to achieve better stabilisation you have to contract the abdominal area. I think that's what they mean with pressure.

Ah, thanks. It totally slipped my mind.

I was surprised the form and nutrition facts were so good. Most anime based around a topic are GOD AWFUL at them. Like the writers don't know the subject at all, don't research and just think they can bluff it by seeming "cool."

See that new anime about girls getting shipwrecked on an island. 4 out of 4 of the things the "survival expert" girl did were wrong. But this? All good information.

uh no?
that's perfectly healthy for that age
it's just a show, i know, but that still bothereed me, dont think this show is for me anyways
hopefully young girls wont feel that their totally fine bodies are ugly or wrong

i mean seriously that would be a bmi of 21.9 which is in the 18-25 range
honestly thinking that is unhealthy is unhealthy imo.

like it would make more sense if she was overweight but she is objectively not


They're anime measurements man. Joseph Joestar is like 6'5 and the size of a fridge in muscle and his listed weight is 95kgs or something. Literally every anime/manga HEAVILY lowballs weight.

Or Chouji Akemichi from Naruto. His entire thing is being morbidly fucking obese and his weight is only listed as 87.5 kg. Looking at his body shape/size he should easily be more like 130 - 150 kgs.

3:24. IS THIS A PERSONAL ATTACK?

Also don't really know why some people is mad about this anime? The "fanservice" is almost nowhere since this is literally what exercise looks like, of course this is something for weebs, but it's not fanservice at all.


.Since I have good and strong legs (Thanks Pokémon Go), Im going to do everything they say. *3 TIMES IN 1 DAY*

This is so much better than I thought it would be. Macho's little head on that huge muscular body does look super weird though. I find excessive body building super creepy but there's far worse ways to spend your time.

For me the hottest part was the two shots of "plump" Hibiki.

That's good, Kabaneri Yukina's back muscles are good, but with the cast likely to be neither, instead remaining ordinary slender anime girls, that's... not ideal. Still, should be a fun show, based on everything I've read about it over the months.

That you call 'Thick' looks like fat to us.

"Thick" or "thicc" is a term from black American culture which has gained mainstream popularity only within the past few years. It's intended to express attraction to body fat, though it may come with the caveat of still wanting the woman to have a small waist.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Thicc
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/what-thick-means-to-women_n_7555654

I remember watching an episode of a broadcast American TV show around 6-10 years ago in which a black host encouraged a guest to treasure his wife by saying, "You got a thick woman." The white co-host commented, "I'm jealous that you [meaning black folk] can call your women 'thick.'"

The bad form really shines through in the animation, you can tell the animators never worked out a day in their life, the failing to stand up after a squat and the lack of ROM on the bench press. muh autism!!!


They have a nice bench press form.. They have the same form as me.. Based on Jeff Cavaliere from Athlean X.com.. Any lower than the level of the shoulder could potentially hurt your rotator cuff and may load to a dislocation.. Many bodybuilder has dislocated from a bench press.. I'm really friggin impreased that they know these much info.. Also, doing it lower won't benefit your chest much.. It's the squeeze on the top that mattets most.. If you want the link, I will dsfinitely gave it to show that the bench form is correct..

An "educational" anime about bodybuilding. Perfectly normal looking JK thinks she's fat and joins a gym to lose weight. She meets a classmate and they begin training together. Educational explanation segments here and there, but mostly it's just an ecchi comedy, and there isn't much comedy. Not very good so far, wouldn't be surprised if this show becomes a bit of a meme on /a/ because of the gimmick though.

Based on the OP and ED I could see that they nerfed Tachibana-sensei's boobs and made Zina's boobs bigger. As a manga reader that really ticked me off. I don't know why they did this and I'm sure not happy about it.

But all things considered this was a really good first episode. Ai Fairouz has a great career ahead of her, she's a newcomer but already has superb voice acting skills.

so this is what peak anime is in 2019 So good, this was everything i wanted and more from when i saw this get announced, bless doga though i feel this is one of the few ecchi's i've ever seen them do or the first full on censored nudity at the start.



girls are cute and there's quite a bit of fanservice and manservice? felt more played up for gags but at least the ouji is going crazier for muscles than Gou from free!


it's pretty funny but at the same time whenever i see a anime girl complain about being fat and dieting i'm like you look hardly any different


SIDE CHEST EVERYONE love that photoshopped mass of muscle lol guess nobody is normal in this show

It was okay I guess, little bit too basic. Takes me back to the days I was a newb in the gym, struggling without weights. You get your strength up quite fast in a few weeks though for anyone wondering, unless you've never done any sports and eat shit maybe

Didn't even know this was tagged ecchi, the fanservice is low tier. Doesn't look like the art and animation will make up for it, quite average and generic. Hope we'll get some girls with hotter character designs at least

This show isn't bad, it's actually quite funny and informative about exercise and workout, but it really loves showing off muscles. In fact, the muscle fanservice looks like it will be the show's bread-and-butter, rather than the tips about exercise and workout. Hibiki does a good job at serving as the show's everywoman, the character viewers are supposed to relate to the most or the easiest. Since she experiences the pressures and difficulties of exercise for the first time, she ends up asking the same questions we ourselves would ask if we found ourselves in those exact same situations. Her friend Akemi, who does have a better grasp on workout routines and muscles, adapts better to the circumstances and provides a nice contrast to the confused and overwhelmed Hibiki. As long as the show plays its cards right and can properly sustain its concept for the rest of the season, it might become bigger and better than was previously expected.

I think this anime is trying to tell me something that we should exercise more and I'm starting to believe it's working.
Especially when we have Aqua / Sora Amamiya telling us she likes muscles.

It's time to get as buffed as a Jobro!


I was more or less gonna write this Again.

Also, Didn't quite notice that the girl thirsting for Muscles had the same VA as Aqua. Seems that she wasn't useless after all.

I don't like that they went the education route instead of the comedy route which is what the manga took and then gave you some shitty untrue dyel advice every other chapter. I hope no anime nerds see this and start coming into the gym wearing ahegao shirts and doing a butt routine in the mirror of the power cage without using the bar


Mywifesson said:
Also mega lol at the salty fatties getting mad because they are fatter than the main character and don't do anything about it except cope.


So, do you want people to stay fat just because they will enbarras THEMSELVES (Not you) with their bad form they took from characters who are obviously newbies or do you want them to work out so they see how things really are? Kind of felt like one part of the post contradicted the other.

I've been working out past 7 years, this anime has a lot of correct information and portraits about pretty much how it works inside a gym, even with the girls doing bench press "wrong" (you must low it to your chest) as many girls do so, the op is catchy and has a nice feeling of slice of life(sports) in it, anyway i liked it.

honestly thinking that is unhealthy is unhealthy imo.

Totally agree! And I'm surprised no one beside you mention that part; or the no boyfriend if you are slightly plump.

I have no problem with fit girl doing sport but I hate the way they give such bad image of a perfectly healthy weight.

Watch Jaxblade then. He makes workout videos and does series like "Would x workout be viable?" and such. He's geeking out over this series, lol.
