Synopsis
How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift? (ダンベル何キロ持てる?, 2019) is a Japanese anime comedy series you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Tatsuya Nogimori. Hibiki Sakura loves to eat — and after a friend points out that her clothes are getting tight, she decides to do something about it.
She signs up at her local gym and immediately runs into Akemi Souryuin, the school council president who seems perfect in every way except for one very specific obsession with muscular physiques. Their trainer Machio looks like a fitness cover model and can barely function outside a weight room. Each episode is built around a specific exercise — squat form, proper bench press setup, the mechanics of a lat pulldown — explained through the characters learning them in real time. The show is genuinely structured like a beginner's training guide, wrapped in comedy.
It works best for anyone who keeps meaning to start exercising and never quite gets around to it. Stream all episodes of How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift? online on iFILM.
