| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Of course we'd get some actual dumbbell training in a show with the word itself in its title lol Gotta balance out that body and muscles!  |
 |
| Tachibana sensai is here with a nice introduction. Her reaction at was funny when she found out her students where training in the same gym she wanted to train at. Still Hibiki's misunderstandings where even funnier, it would have been easier for Tachibana to say she was cosplaying. |
| So the sensei hardcore hobby is cosplay. Though the misunderstandings were funny. |
 |
 I like Tachibana-sensei already. And now a week of dumbbell curl shouldn't be too hard. |
 |
| Dumbbell curls I believe are the most common strength training exercise people do at the gym. Its also one of those exercises that is easy to "egolift". It was accurate to see the whole dancing with dumbbells routine as well. Hibiki having a cheat day?! Oh, no, no, no, no. If you give her the option to have a day, let alone a meal she'll go over it and that diet will cancel out those gains. |
 |
| Tachibana's death glare, tho xD And I really cracked up when I saw those guys on the bench only wearing speedos. I'm not really fond of the that they only presented the approach of eating 5 times a day(with snacks), tho. Too one sided. To eat more often may be helpful if you have trouble to gain weight and pro bodybuilders (who have to eat huge amounts, have to perform etc.) usually handle it like that as well. But for a girl that wants to lose weight it wouldn't be wrong to do some intermittent fasting. I'm dieting myself now and practice it too. Sometimes I even only eat one big meal a day, granted it has all the macros and micros I need and I'm doing fine so far. I lost a good amount of fat while still keeping my strength. The Fist of the North Star reference was really funny haha. Really enjoyable episode again. Although I'm resting today, I still like feel to hit the gym :D |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Where was the Fist Of The North Star reference everyone is talking about? |
 |
| Great episode! Finally, we’re on to the Dumbbells and it totally delivered! Machio’s ‘standardised’ 50 kg Dumbbells are a killer for sure xD. Sensei falls for Machio too xD but those misunderstandings surely didn’t help her cause. ‘Hardcore Hobby’ - Cosplay to BL addict, lol it’s still on a pretty bad spectrum if you ask me. Some hilarious glares though. Muscle King scenes were hilarious too. Moreover, we got some interesting dieting tutorials this episode too. |

| this anime literally made me start working out even if just a little bit |
| Machio really must have a buffed bank account aswell if he keeps ripping out of his clothes. |

Sensei is best girl |
 |
| i love sensei ♥ favorite character for now. i started working out again thanks for this anime and i already look better after a few weeks. always wanted an anime that inspired me like this |
| Diet thing was completely wrong, he clearly never heard of IF and the numerous studies associated with it. Japan is dyel as fuck. |
 |
| That episode was fantastic, sensei is my new favorite. |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
| Sensei is great, she has some nice cosplay outfits! She also falls for Machio.. The references are quite nice as usual, they really delivered this week. That opening is really becoming a song that's going to be stuck in my head forever XD |
 |
| Am I the only who is thinking that maybe the anime by itself and the whole Kadokawa (maybe all the committee) investment could help in the Hikikomori Issue in Japan? AND if it happen...so well, we NOW are witnessing History! I would like to know you guys thoughts about it...could this Ecchi (not a simple one in my opinion) be that...beneficial? |
 |
| Tachibana-sensei is the epitome of a single lady. Damn that death glare was scary. I really thought Machio was gonna do the "Omae wa mou shindeiru" punchline but then it turned out more of a side chest XD Otorez said: KlinyKlinn said: this anime literally made me start working out even if just a little bit Then we're 2 : it gives a surprising wind of motivation actually, as well as real advice! Make it 3. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Oh no! I'm feeling the need to start exercising. XD |
 |
| Everytime I watch an episode of this anime I feel motivated. Better doing some of those exercise in my free time, and keep my everyday meal heathy and balanced.  |
| This anime it's so hilarious and educational, really loving this season of anime, we have 2 great educational animes, Dr Stone and Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru |
| I keep moving forward |
| I'm really happy for everyone here who was inspired to work out more because of this anime! May your future be bright! LuizFelipeNM said: Many sports anime have gotten people out of the house, and I do want to say that there was another anime about exercising (Ani tore EX) which did get some folks to exercise as well. Here's a link to an article on some of the folks who were inspired to exercise because of it: https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2016/02/06/anime-de-training-ex-shows-the-results-of-otaku-who-got-fit-with-animeAm I the only who is thinking that maybe the anime by itself and the whole Kadokawa (maybe all the committee) investment could help in the Hikikomori Issue in Japan? AND if it happen...so well, we NOW are witnessing History! I would like to know you guys thoughts about it...could this Ecchi (not a simple one in my opinion) be that...beneficial? It was an okay anime short, BUT I kinda feel like this anime has it beat when it comes to being able to reach and appeal to a larger demographic. And unlike sports anime, Dumbell has a pretty specific aim at exercise which I feel has been able to motivate people. Ani tore EX had a pretty mellow, moe vibe, so I feel like there wasn't as much enthusiasm. Dumbell does have a lot of passion and enthusiasm though, so even if you don't quite care for WHY some of the characters are at the gym, you can get behind the idea of working out. The anime has found ways to make working out seem fun, positive, and beneficial. They really get people pumped to actually move-- to get up and go. I think that's where Dumbell's strength lies and where I feel it might just motivate more people than Ani tore EX. It's used the dynamic pull of anime to pump up its audience while Ani tore EX focused on a pretty niche, chill audience. So who knows! It might reach more people than we think! Too bad it's hotter than Satan's asshole and people might give up if they even start, which really sucks. I feel like summer's one of my favorite times to work out but I know some people really can't take it. Ani tore came out in Autumn when the heat's not as bad. Hopefully people won't see the heat as an obstacle though! |

| annnnd teacher is already my favorite (at least until silver hair shows up and see what shes like) despite she turning out to be one of THOSE cosplayers that dont know much about classics Macho's Muscle Lesson opening jingle makes me giggle everytime lol! his "Kenshiro" cosplay is on point |

 |
| Tachibana-sensei being a cosplayer sure was a surprise, but a very pleasant one if I'm honest. I really like her but Ayaka is still best girl so far. Pretty entertaining episode overall. The misunderstandings were pretty funny and that "Hokuto no Ken" reference was great as well. Though it was a shame Machio didn't say that memorable phrase in the end. |

| Great episode, like the other two. I was laughing out loud throughout, and the Fist of the North Star - er, Lifts with the Straight Bar was great. @Dark-Knight003 - this was that moment. He's dressed as the main character.  |

Mywifesson said: Diet thing was completely wrong, he clearly never heard of IF and the numerous studies associated with it. Japan is dyel as fuck. I don't really want to start a nutrition argument here, but I think you're misunderstanding. Intermittant Fasting is not what was being shown by Hibiki's "lunch". With intermittant fasting, you don't eat X amount of hours overnight, depending on how long you decide your fast is, and then you resume eating your normal meals for lunch and dinner (and snacking) within your calorie goal, and then begin fasting again. In other words, you'd stop eating at say, 8pm, and not eat again until noon. At noon you'd have lunch, maybe a snack in the afternoon, and then dinner before 8pm, at which point you'd stop eating again. What Hibiki was doing was calorie-binging in one meal, enough calories for an entire 24-hour cycle. The show was absolutely not wrong about what it explains about why this is wrong. |

I guess, unlike in the english version, the translators didn't put much effort in finding the right words in spanish to make the reference more accurate. |
| educative fanservice! I'm loving this anime so much, It's very funny. Sensei is hot af tbh |
 |
We have a Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai reference in the end with a cover of Hina! |
| Sensei is best girl....holy crap. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| So NOT JUST students Hibiki and Akemi, but even Tachibana-sensei joins the fray of exercise. This is life! Exercising is love. And as usual, Machio steals her heart, THE EXACT SAME WAY as Hibiki. And...she is into cosplay??? Wha...??? Lots of health tips from Akemi which help for those aiming to cut down weight for eating appropriate food! That helps. Plus do some research with it. Machio's training sessions are a dime a dozen, though similar workouts are abundant. Machio with the "Fist of the North Star" cosplay, that is a classic! HAHA! All the poses. Workout of the week: Dumbbell Curls. Nice Bulk! |

Mattinator95 said: El_Presidente said: Which still doesn't necessarily lead to higher fat gain, as digestion slows down to manage all the food. This show is now basically "Bro Science: The Animation". They are getting some things right, but most wrong. I hope nobody takes the stuff they "teach" seriously All They have to do is go on youtube and look for official personal trainers that watch the show . Or search it Personal trainers don't know anything, strength coaches do. If you want to blow 300 dollars a month and get zero gains sign up for a PT. Starvation mode isn't a real thing, whne he you don't consume food your body increases the production of grehlin and leptin but these don't cause you to balloon up, they simply induce hunger so long as you fight off the hunger you're fine. Further the lowered basal metabolic rate can be countered through the use of intermittent fasting which increasing the efficiency that your body burns calories. The idea of eating a bunch of little meals a day started with roiders trying to meet their calorie goals, the Rock for example needs to consume 5000+ calories a day and in order to do so as a roider he needs to eat often otherwise he wont hit his limit. It's complete broscience and is actually the opposite of what is true. The thing about insulin was true but it's effects are not, you gain weight from overeating calories dont magically transmute into fat because of the window of time you ate in. This is why asians have no idea how to fucking diet and you have kpop stars eating paper and cucumbers to lose weight instead of simply counting calories. |
