Aoi Todo
Jujutsu Kaisen
Aoi Todo, from Jujutsu Kaisen, is a fighter of great physical skill. This profile turns that into a muscle-building proposal with a touch of power work on leg days.

- 75min per session

What the work says, what we interpret and what we propose
May contain mild spoilers for the work. These three layers are kept apart on purpose.
What the work says
- He is a third-year student at the Kyoto jujutsu school.[1]
- The source highlights his exceptional fighting skill and his unorthodox personality.[1]
- His technique, Boogie Woogie, swaps positions when he claps.[1]
- He was mentored by Yuki Tsukumo.[1]
- The source consulted does not publish the character’s height, weight or measurements; that is why this profile does not use them.[1]
What we interpret
- The source speaks of fighting skill, not of a training program; any routine is our own interpretation.
- Editorial hypothesis: a physical-fighter profile fits a four-day muscle base plus one explosive, controlled exercise at the start of leg sessions.
What we propose
Build muscle with four upper/lower sessions and, on leg days, a low-rep power exercise (explosive squat without a jump).
- The power exercise is 3 sets of 3 to 5 reps with generous rest and clean technique: here movement quality matters more than load.
- The rest of the session uses double progression: reps first, then weight.
- If your knees bother you, tick “Go easy on my knees” or “No jumping” in the generator and the exercises will change.

Power with a plan.
Physical goal
- A broad, powerful body: chest, back and legs with volume.
- Legs and hips that respond well to quick, controlled movements.
- Compare your progress with your own starting point, not with a drawing.

Rolled oats 90 g, Whole milk 250 g, Banana 118 g, Whole egg 50 g.
Lunch
Chicken breast (skinless) 110 g, Pasta 400 g, Tomato sauce 150 g, Olive oil 13.5 g.

- Spread protein over three or four meals. The reference range for people who strength-train is 1.4 to 2.0 g per kilogram of body weight per day.[4]
- Fat can make up 20% to 35% of energy; carbohydrates fill in the rest according to your hunger, performance and energy use.[5]

Beginner alternative
Start with three full-body sessions at home before adding power exercises: technique and a strength base first, fast movements afterwards.

Frequency and rest
- 4 strength sessions a week and 3 days off; use them to walk or move gently.
- WHO recommends muscle-strengthening activities for the major muscle groups on at least two days a week: this routine meets that.[6]
- Sleep seven or more hours a night on a regular basis (AASM and SRS consensus for adults aged 18 to 60).[7]
- If fatigue builds up or you stall for several weeks, halve your sets for a week and build back up (editorial judgment).
