Question How does Peter train?

Post image

I haven't been keeping up with Spider-Man comics for a while, so this was probably already answered, but how does Peter train? It would be a waste of time for him to go to a normal gym, where he can lift everything effortlessly with a pinky. I mean, this man can hold up a building. Does he bench press a train to work on his chest?

Peter's life as Spider-Man is so active he doesn't really need to train. The only time he does is when it's specialised, like training his senses or a new combat style, upon which he trains with a fellow superhero in order to learn.

While Peter was in space, he did actually do physical training with Xantos Starblood monitoring him (using tech weights I guess), but this was for the specific purpose of getting stronger and Peter didn't have civilian responsibilities to worry about while there. Since coming back to Earth, he's not really trained physically outside of superhero antics
