Edward Elric may be short in stature, but he’s a giant when it comes to skill, power, and determination. As the Fullmetal Alchemist, Ed combines agile martial arts with explosive transmutation to outmaneuver opponents twice his size. He doesn’t rely on brute force—he wins with speed, precision, and unshakable willpower.
This workout plan reflects Edward’s fighting style and physical reality. You’ll train for explosive power in a compact frame, sharpen your mobility and reaction speed, and develop functional core control through minimalist tools like jump rope, dumbbells, and your own bodyweight. Built for fighters, thinkers, and agile warriors, this plan will help you move like a real-world alchemist—one transmutation at a time.
Physical Stats
Name: Edward Elric
Height: 5’5” (165 cm)
Weight: Approx. 130 lbs
Abilities:
Martial arts mastery and agility
Instant transmutation without a circle
High-speed movement and reflexes
Core-powered combat acrobatics

Training Principles
1. Agile Combat Flow
Ed is fast, fluid, and reactive—always moving. Training must support lateral speed, dynamic movement, and coordinated flow.
In Practice:
Jump rope footwork drills, lateral bounds, and bodyweight flows like divebomber pushups and sprawls sharpen full-body control in motion.
2. Explosive Strength in a Small Frame
Ed hits hard despite his size. His program builds relative power with rapid, coordinated full-body movements.
In Practice:
You’ll train with explosive pushups, dumbbell clean-to-press, jump squats, and kettlebell swings—low rep, high intent.
3. Core Control for Acrobatics & Alchemy
He flips, rolls, and strikes with total balance. That requires core strength in all planes: flexion, rotation, and anti-rotation.
In Practice:
Hanging knee raises, Russian twists, plank reaches, and suitcase carries will anchor your body through every transition.
4. Tendon Strength & Joint Resilience
With automail limbs, Ed needs to protect his joints. His program includes slow, controlled reps and isometrics to bulletproof connective tissue.
In Practice:
Paused squats, eccentric lunges, and isometric pushup holds will reinforce joint health and movement precision.
5. Mental Toughness & Alchemist Conditioning
Ed doesn’t stop until the job is done. You’ll end each workout with high-effort circuits that challenge your grit and recovery speed.
In Practice:
Finishers include jump rope sprints, bodyweight flows, and conditioning combos to simulate fight fatigue and transmutation-like reactivity.
