I’m a huge Supernatural fan.

Maybe I just watch too much TV.

But, okay, all jokes aside, we’ve had so many CW actors on the site now, it’s pretty crazy we haven’t had Jared Padlecki yet.

I’ve seen some pictures of him wearing some fake abs for Supernatural, but new pics, including some of him and Stephen Amell, have changed my mind!

Oh, and before we get started, I’m telling you guys right now to please go watch the Scooby-Doo / Supernatural Crossover Event on The CW!

Jared Padalecki Stats:

Height: 6’4

Weight: (approximate) 215 lbs

Age: 35 years old

Jared Padalecki is tall!

He’s actually among the tallest we’ve had on the site. Only The Mountain and Joe Manganiello stand above him, and then he’s right there with Ben Affleck, Dwayne Johnson, Ray Fisher, Jason Momoa, and a few others.

Right below that is the average for male celebs we see at SHJ.  That’s guys like Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Chris Evans, Stephen Amell, Hugh Jackman, Adam Driver, and so many more.

And, of course, we also have a shorter range of celebs on SHJ with dudes like Mark Wahlberg, Zac Efron, Kit Harington, Tom Holland, Daniel Radliffe, and a handful of others.

But, don’t worry either way.

I write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone!

Jared Padalecki Diet and Nutrition

Jared Padalecki is looking pretty ripped with Stephen Amell (shown above).

That’s the picture I was talking about before, if you missed that.

Padalecki started out skinny and super tall and then realized he needed to pack on lean mass.  He’s quotes saying:

“suddenly I really needed to add on muscle mass..”

In which he packed on 20+ lbs to get his body in the best shape of his life.

To do this he utilizes a clean diet, in order to keep the fat gains minimal, but also made sure his daily caloric intake was high enough to tack on the pounds.

We’ve seen guys like Hugh Jackman utilize intermittent fasting to do this in order to stay absolutely shredded throughout the process.

But, you can also check out some information about calorie counting, but don’t forget that it’s not always perfect.

Either way the best way to go about choosing your diet plan is to shoot for sustainability.

We see a lot of celebs opt for a sustainable approach like this.

That’s why our Academy Nutrition Classes (Monks, Minimalists, SuperHumans, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Greek Gods, Samurais) revolve around helping you find the specific diet that is right FOR YOU.

Of course, there are a lot of reasons to HAVE the strict guidelines.

We’ve seen a lot of celebs opt for specific restrictions. 

For example: Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting(something I use daily as well), Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.

And, that’s just to name a few celebs from each, by the way.

You can check out our Nutrition Pillars for more information and articles on all of the above and more.

Jared Padalecki Workout Routine Research

There isn’t much for a specific workout routine for Padalecki, but there are some good resources to base the building of one off of.

For example, his trainer, Scot Mendelson, states:

“The heavier weights you use, the more muscle fibers you’ll activate, leading to great growth.”

So we know Padalecki was increasing the weight, likely even using some form of pyramid training to do so.

We’ll also assume he was getting in some compound lifts as well. 

I’ve even see some videos of him doing tire flips and other circuit type training, so his training isn’t strictly for physique, but also to be in overall great shape.

I also found that some sites give Padalecki a 3-4 day training split, but this is likely them creating the routine based on his physique as well, so I’ll utilize them, but not take them for a certainty.

We’re going to be lifting heavy, eating a lot (if you’re also bulking) of clean food, and also adding in some circuit and endurance training here and there as well.
