Smark Healthy: Revo Ripped

Everyone in attendance at PWR Live: Destino was witness to something that most did not expect.

Nani dafuq, bruh....

Revo Ranger's suit was noticeably getting more loose on his frame, as some fans have noticed, and for good reason. He has been hiding a lean, mean justice machine of a body underneath his Revo suit. This was likely something that PHX Champion John Sebastian did not expect when he decided to strip the Defender of Justice as a sign of disrespect. What awaited him was the product of months of hard work, as Revo Ranger said in our interview.

Despite losing out to the dangerous John Sebastian, Revo Ranger gave the Wrestling Lord and Savior one hell of a fight. What lies ahead of this, his fans will surely be anticipating.

The Road to Revo Ranger UItra EX

So how did Ultra Instinct Revo Ranger come to be? The answer is plain and simple, but definitely not easy: hard work.

"Every day is conditioning day while working on a specific body part. Basically my day consists of waking up at five, biking out at six for seven kilometers to get to an hour-long yoga class. From there I bike to work 500 meters to a nine-hour job of fighting crime. At 5:00 I bike out 500 meters to the UFC gym and get an hour lifting session. 6:30 is an hour of circuit training, then a seven-km bike ride home. Almost every day. Thursdays are just biking and lifting. Sundays are for wrestling training."

In what was the biggest fight of his life, Revo Ranger knew he had to bust out the big guns while rocking out in his signature sentai poses. And bust them out he did. He took on a program that emphasized on giving his body a leaner look and a lot more definition. It alternates between upper and lower body work that had three supersets each.

Sweet mother of justice, give this man a match at Wrevolution X  (happening at May 26, 2019 at the Power Mac Center Spotlight in Circuit Makati).

If his effort is any indication, this likely isn't even his final form.
