This ep is a total gym motivation injection and the fanservice is dialed all the way up. We finally get the technique breakdowns and character depth needed to understand Akemi’s straight-up obsession with muscles. Even if the bicep curl explanations felt a bit mid and the pacing dragged during the diet talk, Machio’s muscle flexing is fire.

Quick Takes
View all 8 takesThis OVA is a total gym motivation injection and the fanservice is dialed to eleven. We finally get the extra depth and fitness tips needed to flesh out the Silverman Gym crew's routines. Even if the actual plot felt a bit mid and the workout pacing dragged, the muscle-head energy is fire.
This second special episode was heavier than the first one but brings you an equally great set of training and shots of the characters. Makes you really wanna work out, but keeping pace surely takes almost a day, too, like the first one.
