Dix played around with training regimens as he wasn't really well informed in the matter. He actually tried the One Punch Man training, he understood its somewhat usable, but it doesn't work out all of his muscles, so he had to improvise. He tried many different forms he remembered he had seen from his previous life.

The simple 10km run was exchanged to 30km running on trees. He tried his best to acclimate himself to moving as fast as possible in every environment. He jumped trough the trees like a monkey, the same way it was seen in the anime. This actually moved almost every single muscle he had, but it mostly built up stamina, instead of strengthening. It was plenty of fun though.

Instead of regular sit-ups he started doing them while hanging from a branch, with his lower body even using chakra to keep the balance, as he had to complete 300 of them as fast as possible.

Instead of normal push-ups he stood on his hands and had to jump away from the ground and try to land back the same way. This simultaneously strengthened his upper-body muscles while also made his balancing improve.

Also he had to pull himself up on a branch while alternating between pulling the branch up to his stomach or to his back for 300 times each. This excellently shaped most of his back muscles. He had to find a strong and thick branch to use though, as he already broke a few with his speed.

Dix knew that the most important part of physical training was the recovery, which happened trough resting. First he thought he would have to take days off for his muscles to grow properly, but in reality, the miraculous effects of the chakra astonished him once again. Such heavily infused muscles regain energy and regenerate so damn fast they can complete the recovery phase by the time he finishes with a different set of exercises. He just had to alternate them evenly and between specific time frames. This means he is able to keep working out non-stop infinitely until he collapses of mental exhaustion.

His clones didn't sit around either. Well, some of them did, but they didn't laze for sure. Squad A, the inner chakra control training squad kept on circulating energy in their pseudo-bodies, trying their best and experimenting with the ways of better chakra handling. Also they tried to minimize the chakra leaking and experiment with ways to completely prevent it.

Squad B, the ones doing the outer chakra control training were sent to the near pond to practice water walking. That exercise is almost the same as the tree climbing one, but instead of creating a sucking force on their feet, they had to evenly emit a constant amount of chakra while keeping proper balance. It was a bit harder then the tree climbing, so they were occupied with that.

Squad C was about to finish with their daily doze of jutsu. They learned quite a few E and F rank techniques which were mostly useless for Dix, but he still was glad he could get as much knowledge together as possible. He also noticed this squad is a bit too fast, or more like the intake of jutsus is not enough. He will either have to downsize the squad or try to get access to a private library where his clones could freely operate.

Squad D was the combat training one and they were the ones to heavily expend their chakra all the time. Dix had to regularly remake the whole squad to replenish their reserves. Between those, they usually stand up in pairs while 4-6 stand to the side and either tell them what they missed or how the combat forms would be better or summon more clones in place of those that were destroyed.

Squad E was going well with studying seals and developing them. It was a hard topic, all the fine details of a seal are extremely important and they had to get them all perfectly right. Thus, they had a ton of work on their hands which wouldn't run out anytime soon.

Squad X, the oh so mysterious team of 5 clones that are in charge of R&D were having a hard time improving the the Shadow Clone Jutsu. Dix ultimately wanted to use this technique to solve many different problems he faced or will face in the future. But the direction he wanted to head was quite a stretch, like instead of a passive link between him and the clones there could be variants that he has an active link with, which would mean, if he manages to synchronize them, that he could think with many brains at one. Or use the mind-cloning part of the jutsu and write them into seals on his body to set up permanent secondary brains. But it was extremely hard to change an already existing and heavily refined technique such as this one. Dix would have been more than surprised if he saw results anytime soon.
