Hey guys! Here is the early Red Hood Training video! This is to replace the annual Batman workout this year, as I'm going to be saving that for my 1 million subscribers video. I have big plans for that one!
So, how do we differentiate a Red Hood workout? How should Jason Todd train?
Of course, he's similar to Batman in many ways. As I've discussed in previous videos, then, he needs to train in a cross-modal manner. That means training not only for strength, but also explosiveness, mobility, endurance, agility. He should be able to go from a roof-top chase, to a fist fight, to hanging from the ladder of a helicopter!
He also needs to incorporate skills training. That means martial arts, gymnastics, rock climbing...
Unique to The Red Hood, though, is the firearms training. Jason Todd is not afraid to use lethal force. I'm not about to write a training program that includes weapons training - as that's outside my wheelhouse - but we CAN look at the kinds of traits and abilities that come with marksmanship. Things like sports vision, situational awareness, reflexes, target prioritisation...
In this video, I recommend some brain training methods designed specifically to train these same attributes.
The Red Hood is also more desperate than Bruce. He's not the unstoppable tank with a plan for every situation. He's fast, brutal, and full of rage - and he uses in-the-moment tactical decision making to get the upper hand. To that end, we'll be incorporating high-intensity functional training - so that we can maintain maximum effort for a prolonged period.
This routine ties together a lot of what I've been talking about lately on the channel: conditioning, high intensity functional training, sports vision, working memory, and strength-to-weight ratio.
How do you think Jason Todd would train? And who would you like me to analyse next?

"The Tomorrow War" Training. How do you survive 72 hours in hell?

[@joeojeda4651]

You might want to look into dry fire systems like laserammo, it's great and cheap way to train gun skills

[@jeanpaul4294]

Why don't you train like an oldtime strongman to become nearly as strong as batman?

Now we need a new version of the Nightwing workout!

@@acemaniac991 yes, I watched it and absolutely love it. That’s why I’d also love a 2.0 version. Btw the original ones are still good and useful (had fun following them in the past)

[@pilarofstone]

I love your "training like different fictional badasses" series! I'm a big fan of things like comics and superheroes, the Witcher, etc so it's really cool to see that kind of thing broken down and explained in this level of detail, and also in a way that's achievable for regular people who are inspired by these characters. My one request would be that as a woman who's interested in fitness-- I've done multiple styles of dance, judo, boxing and kickboxing, and also tried my hand at running, weight training, calisthenics, and I aspire to start learning parkour (and in a perfect world HEMA longsword training)-- it would be really great to see this kind of analysis for more female characters. I really liked your Black Widow video (unsurprisingly it really speaks to me as a lifelong dancer/martial artist and comics fan lol), and there are definitely a lot of other badass female characters out there who would make really interesting video topics. For example Wonder Woman and the other Amazons from DC, Vi from the Arcane show, Catwoman, Korra, Toph, Ty Lee (tbh every woman from AtLA), Michonne from TWD, Sarah Connor, Furiosa, Ellen Ripley, Mulan, Brienne and Arya from Game of Thrones... just to name a few 😅

[@TheBioneer]

Thank you! Absolutely, I will do more female characters in future! And thanks for the suggestions :-) I tend to steer away from overpowered characters like Superman/Wonder Woman only because we can’t really train much like them. Unless they have a single gimick like speed etc. Lara Croft is one I intend to do at some point t but I want to do that somewhere really scenic. Sword fighting characters are high priority though atm (been doing more club and mace training) so those are some great suggestions, thanks!

[@mikafoxx2717]

Love the Lara Croft idea. Make sure to get that climbing in. @@TheBioneer

[@SuperSanity1]

I feel the need to comment this. Jason's height tends to fluctuate. He's been anywhere from 6ft to 6ft 5in. Batman is always a solid 6ft 2in. However, since becoming Red Hood, Jason has always been a solid 225lbs. That's 15lbs heavier than Batman. So, Jason is usually (canonically) bigger than Bruce.

[@dominicbuck3744]

You’re saying Batman is 174 lbs??? Impossible. I’m 6’2” 174 and I need more weight

[@mildburg9241]

? He said 15 lbs heavier than batman, so batman is 210lbs​@dominicbuck3744

[@SuperSanity1]

@mildburg9241 Didn't even get a notification for that comment so thanks for taking it. 😄

[@al018078]

Jason Todd is 6ft 0 or 183cm. Batman is 6ft 2 or 188cm, Batman is stronger than Jason.

[@SuperSanity1]

@@al018078 Like I said, that fluctuates.

[@TahsinSami-cg2xi]

The cinematics on this are next level. This should be its own movie

[@chrisvela5462]

The 2 martial arts I think you can boil Jason down to would be Lethwei and Wrestling. Lethwei for strikes, think Muay Thai but with head butts where he can put his helmet to use if he has it. And Wrestling because he's explosive and it builds massive grit.

[@WeBreakItAllDownRightHere]

Gotham knights made him a pure boxer with guns in his hands lol

[@Seth-xh8qs]

I agree

[@c16621]

Incorrect. It's more than that. Jason Todd got the same ninjitsu type of training as batman from Rash Al Goul and Talia Al Goul, ((snickers) The only woman to sucessfully r4p3 batman). You should know what the result of that was. I digress. Jason trained with them for years before he returned To Gotham as The Red Hood. So, he knows much more than only even three martial arts.

[@chrisvela5462]

​@c16621 key phrase was "can boil down". As in what the average person can go learn that will give them a comparable style

[@Seth-xh8qs]

@@chrisvela5462 yes

[@natureenthusiast8737]

This is accurate when it comes to meeting Red Hood's attribute demands. As much us your focus is speed, skill training, gaining functional strength etc, I would also emphasise on weight and strength training. Red Hood is 6"00 and 225lbs. Having the build and skills would be an asset in my and others book. Keep up with the videos as we learn from you and the community.

[@daniel_brqlo]

How about one on how to train like Red Riding Hood? Maybe walking throught the woods, carrying a fruit basket and avoiding wolves? 😂

I'm from New Zealand and have been following the bioneer for about a year now. Gained so much from him, training bodyweight & heavy weights mix. Lost 15kg weight and in fantastic shape at 47 years old. So thanks 😊 Enjoyed this new video as well.

Excellent video! I can see Red Hood adding in some Kali training in addition to the striking and grappling for martial arts. Great character to base a training schedule on. Keep them coming...getting closer to that 1 million mark!!

Great video Adam!

[@moreparrotsmoredereks2275]

When training at home, I'll often do dry fire training between sets or as the "rest" round of a circuit. It can help to train to maintain your fundamentals while your heart rate is high, and would probably improve your ability to shoot while under stress.

Hey Adam!! Can you make a video of how to survive outside , in cold , hot , all conditions , all terrain , in city or wilderness with little food , sleep or water. With the exception of using technology as a tool to train for it in the future. you are awesome Bioneer❗️

[@luska4515]

Fun fact: Batman is 6'2 (1.88 m) and Red Hood is 6'0 (1.83 m). However, despite being shorter than Bruce, Jason is actually heavier, with Bruce weighing around 210 lbs (95 kgs) and Jason weighing 225 lbs (102 kg). Red Hood is also typically depicted eating food with a higher calorie intake like (he eats a lot of hamburgers) and taking that into consideration along with his height-to-weight ratio makes me theorize that Jason's training and diet are more focused on building brute strength.

[@LeonJilliumz-vm1kv]

I've just resubscribed to you on another account. Don't really think you'll ever see this comment but just in case I wanted to say that dude...I've followed you since you started this channel and your striking technique has gotten MUCH better over the years. Good work brother.

You could also do a Star Trek themed Starfleet Training video, incorporating real life Air Force and astronaut physical training with exploration, field sciences, combat basics, and diplomacy basics. Bonus points for doing it all in a single, multi-purpose outfit that's color coded. 😊 Basically just a different spin on your usual content, but as a Trekkie myself, I'd love to see a real video on Starfleet fitness. 🖖

i started doing chess moves against my computer during rest periods in my workouts. as an alternative i do random generated basic math questions including simple algebra. i find this most challenging during my heavy lift or max. reps days. as a side benefit i find it works my internal patience and defeating negative self criticism as math was always my intellectual weak area.

[@d.kennedy7627]

What about training like Doc Savage?❤

[@eru6461]

I think I get it now, the thing wrong with your punches. Now I’m a boxer myself, so I have seen myself, other boxers as well as pro boxers and ufc fighters on TV when they punch, and whenever I see your punches, it seems weird. The thing is you don’t have the “snap” we fighters have, and your guard is a bit amateur, good enough though for beginners. But yeah, that is true, you don’t have the snap yet my friend, so u maybe strong as batman, but batman can still hit harder and faster due to the snap. One thing you can do is, slow shadow boxing and when you punch, you stretch your shoulder further, now while doing it faster can cause injury, but if you do it slowly and look at your self in the mirror for the technique, you will have the best punch when you do it faster. I hope you save Gotham soon.

[@eru6461]

Actually, now it’s just my thinking, that your huge amount of muscle, the fact you have become a behemoth of a man, is preventing you from having a snap in your punch. Like your shoulder muscles are really good bro,respect, but maybe it’s too big for punching stuff. I think you should to shoulder mobility exercises or something, idk about this muscle thing, maybe ask some coach, I just know how to box lol, that’s my life.

I hope we'll see a Moon Knight training routine someday, btw good work as always dude!

[@sharpphilip]

The different “-athlon” events are so interesting to me. Heptathlon doesn’t seem often discussed, but looks grueling. Modern pentathlon includes a rifle shot; it’d be interesting to swap in an archery event instead, especially if added to a heptathlon-making, I dunno, a modern commando octathlon kind of thing?

[@gehdichndreckan3126]

If you try to build functional strenght, speed AND train coordination while winded out, I recomend you look into training with Sai's (the little trident/fork weapons that Raphael of the Turtels uses) I'm not kidding, if you perform the right movements with speed and power, those things whill wind out your arms and strenghen your WRISTS specifically well, and even beyond that either helps you comoensate or outright REPAIRS damage done to your wrists and hands. I was a chef for about 10 years, always exercising for fun and to keep healthy, nothing to crazy. But my wrists and especialy the corporal tunnel of my thumbs where sufferin HARD from both the training, but more so my job. It got so bad that I actually had to call in sick a couple of times because of it. Doctors told me they could not help me without some surgery and even then it would probably just get worse with time anyways... I was always into martial arts weapons training, it was my thing to unwind and let go of the 'pressure' after a weight lifting session. So one day, I decided to add the Sai's to my collection/skillset. After 'playing' and figuring out some stuff and movements, particualy, a spin where you kinda pinch the Sai between your thumb and palm, I startet to realize my corporal tunnel pain to just evaporate VERY quickly with repeated training sessions. Been doing it ever since, still am a chef, now 16 years in the job. It did WONDERS for me. A srt of training Sai,s (no edges or points but full Stainless Steel) cost me about 40 bucks on amazon back then. The wrapping on the Grip #ucks but you can replace it with something fitting for your hands. Everybody is different, like the Bioneer states, but this may help some people out there. Sorry for my poor english, its not my first language
