The new Morbius movie trailer made this article a must.
How could they be coming out with a Morbius movie and SHJ not have a Morbius workout?!
Blasphemy!
Truthfully, up until this point I didn’t know much about Morbius.
That being said, after some preliminary research, he’s DEFINITELY a fun character to be making a workout around.
We’ve seen some other vampires and even werewolves (who always seem to go hand-in-hand) like Blade, Werewolf By Night, Wolfsbane and of course a ton of a ton of actors who have played both sides.
But for this one, I guess we’ll stick to linking the Jared Leto workout.
Morbius Stats:
Height: 5’10
Weight: 170 lbs.
Real Name: Dr. Michael Morbius
Powers: Yes
Morbius is actually below average height that we’ve seen among male celebs at SHJ.
He doesn’t fall into the shortest range, but he’s definitely not near the taller side.
Vegeta were tied Wolverine for the shortest spot among comic characters we’ve seen at 5’3, prior to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coming in at 5’2, (and Gimli even shorter) – but Damian Wayne (Robin) is only 5’4. Goku isn’t that tall either, though, standing only 5’7, with Miles Morales only an inch above him.
One Punch Man falls in at 5’9 right there with Ryu, Nightwing at 5’10, and then Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Green Arrow coming in around 5’11 and Beast joining them.
We’ve had Superman and Eddie Brock’s Venom at 6’3, and Captain America, Scorpion and Batman at 6’2, and Carnage at 6’1. Thor and Cyborg are towering over them at 6’6, Thanos and King right there with them at 6’7, Bane at 6’8, and Deathstroke right below at 6’5, and Black Manta at 6’4.
Ronan and Sagat are 7’5, and Doomsday came in at 8’10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.
But, don’t worry if you’re not the same height or weight range.
We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.

Morbius Diet and Nutrition
**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero, unless I mentioned differently (for example someone like Hulk may get something specifically different)**
Every hero needs to still have a good diet.
Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.
You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.
You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.
Guys like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, 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.
It’s all about sustainability.
AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.
Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!
Curious where over a hundred celebs fall in their dietary choices ranging from High Protein and Keto to Vegetarian, Vegan and Intermittent Fasting? Want exclusive celeb meal plans? Check this out.

Morbius Workout Routine Research
We’ve made it to “the fun part”.
And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.
We’re going to start with a bit of a bio for Morbius considering there may be a handful of you out there, like me, who didn’t (or still don’t) know much about him.
Here’s what his Wiki Fandom has to say (specifically the one for Dr. Michael Morbius):
Dr. Michael Morbius was a scientist born in Greece who became a Nobel Prize winning biochemist. He suffered from a debilitating blood disease and developed an experimental treatment involving vampire bats and electroshocks. Its side effects turned him into a pseudo-vampire who needed to consume blood in order to survive, and gained typical vampire characteristics such as an aversion to sunlight, and the powers of flight, enhanced strength, speed, and healing (a healing factor). His overall appearance changed as well: he gained fangs, his nose flattened to appear more bat-like, and his skin became extremely pale. Additionally, the victims of his bite would turn into living vampires themselves. When he first experienced the change, he killed the assistant who had helped him develop the treatment.
You can probably already see some of the powers we’re going to be looking to replicate with this workout.
But I’ll share a larger list to make it nice and clear for us.
Here’s what they give us to work with:
Pseudo-Vampirism: Morbius has been transformed into a being similar to a vampire and, as a result, possesses a number of superhuman abilities similar to those possessed by true vampires. Morbius is not a true vampire as the source of his transformation is scientific, not mystical. However, mystical elements have occasionally been introduced into his system, complicating the issue.
- Superhuman Strength
- Superhuman Speed
- Superhuman Stamina
- Superhuman Agility
- Superhuman Acute Senses
- Regenerative Healing Factor
- Fangs & Claws
- Psionic Gliding
- Mesmerism
- Vampire Creation
- Immunity To Most Vampire Vulnerabilities
Similar to Morbius, we’re going to be able to take a lot of the good, while ditching some of the bad.
We’ll be looking to replicate the superhuman strength, speed, stamina, and agility!
Not an easy task, but a fun one nevertheless.

Morbius Workout Routine
Training Volume:
5+ days per week
Explanation:
We’re working on becoming extremely well rounded. We need to get strong while also working on our speed, stamina and overall agility. This is a hard task considering in order to build strength we want to eat more calories (usually), while trying to gain speed and stamina will usually result in utilizing tasks that burn those extra calories we want to be getting. For that reason you’ll need to work extra hard to pair a diet that works FOR YOU with this routine.
