It was described as a story about a kid who worked out every single day to become as strong as possible to compete with magical people. The character was described as super ripped and the scene where he knocks out someone in a tournament because he has no magic was mentioned.

"

I'll use Black Clover as an example.

Black Clover, a world where everyone is gifted with magic powers, most people are, but one kid isn't, so what does he do? He works out until it becomes so strong, he's more powerful than the people with the gifted talents, and he's the main character in the hero and they make fun of them, they're like, 'You're dumb,' but they actually show this character is like super ripped, and one of my favorite scenes in that manga/anime is when he enters this tournament, it's very, very much in the beginning, and they're all laughing like he has no magic, how is he possibly going to win? Then as soon as they say fight, there's a split second where he's so fast, he just slams another guy, knocks him out instantly, and they're like, 'Wow, we are so shocked that by pure perseverance and dedication, you can become as powerful as that,' that's the message kids should be getting.
