I love how in the series his power is acknowledged to just always exceed what his opponent is capable of. You get a huge action series of these super strong characters getting beat to shit and then Saitama just bats the baddy away accidentally.

He says his training regimen is just pushups and situps, but it's also suggested that because he got this power, he lost his hair in exchange.

Ah yeah, well he got nothing on King! Superhero number 1! You definitely wouldn't want to get the King engine running, no, sirrrr!

I may need to reread but I recall interpretating it as "looney-tunes" logic where the rule is "defeat in one punch" and that he broke his personal "limiter" despite the somewhat normal regiment (gotta respect that 10k run everyday).

Everyones got different limiters (Garou I think is the closest other example we have) but the sheer work needed to break a limiter is described as ridiculous. It shows how average Saitama begun as and how seriously he took the training to do that everyday.
