Did you guys know John Krasinski trains with Chris Pratt?
Well now you do!
Fun fact, we’ll call it.
But, we’ll get to that later.
Another thing we’ll talk about later is the fact that John Krasinski got RIPPED and went from the Jim we know from The Office, to playing in 13 Hours and Tom Clancy’s Tom Ryan.
Well, I guess technically we’re talking about it right now, but I’ll be showing a nice flashback pic to remember Jim as we used to know him….
John Krasinski Stats:
Height: 6’3
Weight: (approximate) 185-190 lbs
Age: 37 years old
So John Krasinski is JUST above the average 6’1-6’2 range we see for men at SHJ, and JUST below the tallest men we see around 6’4+.
The 6’1-6’2 range consists of our Triple Chris Threat, as we call it, AKA Chris Pratt, Chris Evans, and Chris Hemsworth – while also including guys like Stephen Amell, Tyler Hoechlin, and others.
The monsters on the site are guys like The Mountain, Dwayne Johnson, Batista, Jason Momoa, and Ben Affleck.
And, the shorter guys are a wide range from Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, Kit Harington, Zac Efron, Tom Holland, and a bunch more.

John Krasinski Diet and Nutrition
One thing that I was able to find that was extremely helpful in elaborating on Krasinski’s diet and nutrition plan was from an interview with Jimmy Kimmel.
I’ll give some more quotes after, but that specific line revealed this:
He replenished his body with protein and carbs after a grueling workout session.
That right there immediately makes us jump to the conclusion of cyclical ketosis.
That’s incredible, because it’s something easily added with intermittent fasting which we always suggest, and we’ve seen successfully utilized by guys like Hugh Jackman, and Terry Crews.
Oh, and don’t worry, I’ll let you guys see the Jimmy Kimmel video…
Krasinski also mentions about his diet:
Salad, chicken, and water were his staple food, which proved to help in getting him lean and muscular.
Well, that makes sense. We know eating clean and finding staples to turn to are also ways to make your diet sustainable.
This diet helped Krasinski do as he states here:
“My body fat was, I believe, 25%, and then by the time I did the movie my body fat was 9%.”
That’s pretty freakin’ awesome.

John Krasinski Workout Routine Research
In just that 4 minute video (above) with Jimmy Kimmel, Krasinski reveals a good information about how brutal his workout routine is.
One quote with Men’s Health that Krasinski touches on this brutality is:
“I gotta be honest: It was brutal at times,” Krasinski says. “We did tons of metabolic work, dragging sleds and all this stuff I’ve seen NFL players do.”
Something else I find really fun that Krasinski adds in that interview is:
Favorite workout song: “What More Can I Say,” Jay Z.
Favorite exercise: “Bench press. There’s that number you can keep pushing. It’s almost a game instead of a workout.”
Least favorite workout: “Bulgarian split squat.”
Maybe not extremely helpful, but definitely some fun information.
Also in that interview, Krasinski reveals that he was doing two-a-day workouts, five times a week that consisted of not only sled pushes, but typical bodybuilding styled routines, and a lot of cardio.
Now, that’s some help information.
But, like I promised, I also want to include the training that Krasinski did with Chris Pratt. Let’s not forget how awesome that is.
Both actors got together on Memorial Day and did The Murph Challenge. But, I’ll let People Magazine give you the full information:
The actors, who are both in the United Kingdom for the holiday, got together to complete the #MurphChallenge. The exercise routine was created in honor of the late United States Navy SEAL officer Michael P. Murphy, who was awarded the U.S. military’s highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his actions during the War in Afghanistan.
Each Memorial Day, gyms across the country perform the workout — a one-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 air squats and a final one-mile run while wearing a 20-lb. body vest. The challenge raises money and awareness for the LT. Michael P. Murphy Memorial Scholarship Foundation.
And, let’s take a look at John Krasinski’s and Chris Pratt’s posts after the workout:
Now, THIS is freakin’ awesome.
We have a ton of information, and I”m stoked to piece together this routine.

On day 3 for the weighted lunges, would it be ten for each side – meaning a total of lunges all together?
Hey Jon,
I generally do 10 each side, but when I get this question I usually tell people to base it on fitness level. If you can only do 5 each at a certain weight, or for some other reason, that’s fine too.
Awesome, thank you for your reply yet again!
