Anime & Manga Serious question… When you watch a superhero movie or an anime that has a unit of a character… Don’t you ever get inspired to lift?

I mean like… Watching Baki and getting inspired to hit the gym. Stuff like that.

I became passionate about Olympic lifting and powerlifting ever since I saw the Ang Lee movie “Hulk” when I was a pre-pubescent boy.

No. Can't say that I have.

Thanks for posting.

What does inspire you though? As in, which anime or Marvel character?

I think the closest I came to being inspired was after watching the final battle of Gurren Lagann, everyone all together. It was brilliant. Made me, for a moment, think I could take on the world.

I find Jessica Jones inspiring, and she never works out. But she really inspired me to speak my mind to toxic people.

Nice. This is the kind of thing I want to hear.

Heroes shouldn't be merely admired. They should be emulated in some way.
