Table of Contents

Saiyaman Great

He is a member of Macho 29. He usually does not train in a gym; he uploads videos of himself doing high-load ab-wheel rollouts and pull-ups outdoors. He can hold a ridiculously long human flag.

Kusoshiba

He trains with absolutely massive weights. You can feel how naturally strong his joints are, and it is satisfying to watch.

KTM Channel [Tando]

He does heavy training in a basement. I love the rumble when he drops the barbell. I like him enough that I bought a Tando T-shirt. For some reason, he gets flamed on 2ch.

Sho Fitness

He uploads weight-training explanation videos.

Body Coordinator yoshi

A men’s diet body coordinator. A seriously handsome older guy. He runs an email newsletter.

jikokaizen

He is someone who builds his body with home workouts only, without going to a gym. He posts progress-log videos where you can see month-by-month changes in his body, and they motivate a lot of people.

Muscle Watching

Tatsuya Takaina

riju

A young, flashy fitness influencer with a very strong chest and arms. What stuck with me was seeing him bench press extremely heavy weight on a machine at home, maybe?

Kansuke aka. Kinnikujuu

Is there any fitness influencer with as much charisma as him? No, there is not. His catchphrase is “Yeah! Motherfucker!!”

Fizzy’s Muscle Training Report

A peaceful channel where Bulky Komatsu and the chairman explain weight training in a fun way.

Rebattler

He hosts a competition for flashy young people called Rebattler Night.

Daisuke Oyama

His back is extremely wide. The guy with wings. He prefers training with light weights and really making the muscles work. His background is yoga.

Edward Kato

Edward Kato. The shoulder guy. He has the kind of sculpted physique that probably every trainee admires.

Ichigo Jam

A person with a sculpted body who suddenly appeared on Twitter. A promising newcomer in the fitness-trainee sculpture scene.
