Welcome to Superhero Jacked. You're officially a member of The SHJ Army.
What started as a one-man-team mixing his love for superheroes, video games, anime, and all things nerd culture...with his love for fitness, nutrition and unleashing his inner superhuman....soon developed into an entire community coming together to create what is now SHJ.
Together we have created some of the greatest fitness and lifestyle content in the world:
- We host the most comprehensive Workout Database on the internet, which is composed of Celebrity and Character Inspired Workouts routines. We also have over 700 articles for you to dive into to start learning about training, dieting, and all things to get your fitness journey started. So whether you're looking to train like Dwayne Johnson, Scarlett Johansson, or even Spider-Man, Goku or Batman, you've come to the right place.
- This is the home of our Superhero Academy, which compiles over 500 workout routines, more than half a dozen Nutritional Classes (like Vikings, Spartans, Samurais and more), access to your coaches, video courses, and so much more.
- We also now have our Superhuman System which was created over years and years of research and testing with our coaches and successful clients to build a system based on the world's top celebrities and performers that was THE most efficient, sustainable and effective way to achieve what the world deems as The Superhero Physique.
- We have been featured in Men's Health, Lifehacker, Indiewire, LADbible, Diply, Looper, The Cheat Sheet, Bodybuilding.com, Muscle and Strength, and many more.
- Our newsletter to our Army of Superhumans has well over 100,000 subscribers that get our emails two times a week with new workouts and articles.

WHAT IS SHJ?
At it's very core, SHJ is a place that helps nerds and awesome people unleash their inner Superhumans and unlock The Hollywood Physique.
We allow people to do that by researching (what is now hundreds and hundreds) celebrities day to day regimes, workouts, and nutrition, and then sharing that with you to replicate. We also build workouts inspired by your favorite characters to motivate and inspire you to keep training and keep your transformation going.
We also have tons of information on how to train, how to diet (and why), when to adapt, and so much more.
Whether you've come here to find a workout routine (which is likely), or need some more information on how to start your journey: you've come to the right place.
At SHJ we have a specific philosophy which comes from what we've learned from all of our research throughout the years.
THE SHJ PHILOSOPHY
Our philosophy is based on the fact that we push for sustainability within our training and nutrition.
We feel that without shooting for sustainability you're immediately working against yourself.
Here's a scary fact for you:
Nearly NINETY PERCENT of people who lost weight gain it back.
We don't want you to join that statistic, which is why we build every single one our our programs, especially our Superhero Academy, around helping you find the most sustainable regime for YOU specifically.
We allow people to do that by researching (what is now hundreds and hundreds) celebrities day to day regimes, workouts, and nutrition, and then sharing that with you to replicate. We also build workouts inspired by your favorite characters to motivate and inspire you to keep training and keep your transformation going.
That means we also:
One: Believe in finding the best workout that fits your goal, but also the best workout that fits YOU (and YOUR preferred style).
Two: Do not discriminate diets. I've guinea pig tested over half a dozen and I'm here to tell you that they can all work. It really just depends on YOU. What it comes down to is whether or not a specific diet is right for you, so we test them and teach them all in conjunction with our main pillars.
Three: Believe in adaptability when it comes to training and dieting. Life changes. Your goals change. When this happens you need to be able to adapt with your style and your plan. And we have the next thousand options for you.
Four: Believe that failure is just a learning experience. With fitness and nutrition it's often a good thing to fail. That means you can scratch that plan and diet off your list and move onto the next. Adapt, learn and get ready to find your perfect plan.
Five: Cut the bullsh*t. We don't push OUR specific training method, or OUR specific diet down your throat and try to tell you that it's the only way, and the one true secret to fat loss and muscle gains. We do have a Superhuman Diet we teach people, among other nutrition plans; and we do have our go-to training options...but we have them mixed in among thousands of other options for you to find what is best for YOU.
HOW THIS WORKS
At the end of this page I'm going to ask you to connect with us on social, and I'm also going to give you an opportunity to request workouts and even collaborate with us if you'd like.
That being said, I should tell you what goes into the creation of our workout routines here at SHJ.
On the site it seems fairly obvious if you've read a couple routines, but we do get asked a lot on the YouTube Channel (people aren't always quick to click the link and find out), so if you're coming from there, or just new to SHJ, this might help you out.
HOW WE RESEARCH AND CREATE OUR WORKOUT ROUTINES:
Step One: First and foremost I start by prepping and scouring the internet for interviews with the celebrity, or even their trainer. This can be anything from an interview with Muscle and Fitness, Women's Health Mag, or even video interviews that I'm able to find (sometimes after a long search) somewhere on the internet.
For characters you can see that within our regular character inspired workouts they're based on the characters overall lore, abilities, and power; and for the cosplay themed workouts they're based more on the overall physique and appearance of the character.
Step Two: We piece together any and all of that information so that the most relevant parts get shared within the article, and the rest gets stored within our own personal research.
If there's little to no information on a specific celebrities training and/or diet, but you guys have requested said celebrity countless times, I share that we don't have enough information to go on, but I build the routine on what we do have, and their overall physique, stats and appearance.
Step Three: We put it all together. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to find some exact details into a FULL routine. But, for the most part it's scattered up into little pieces in a number of different interviews. That means it has to be put together like a puzzle based on what I was able to find. That's step three.
Step Four: Celebrities routines are ever-changing. They adapt just like we teach you to adapt within our Academy and programs. For that reason we are constantly updating routines. On a daily basis older articles are being updated with new information that is shared by celebrities. You'll find countless celebrities have a second variation to their workout routines, a lot of the time even with a second section of research added. We also have updated information in the form of Exclusive Celebrity Workout Packets within our Academy.
Side Note: If you've been a member of SHJ for years now you might now that we sometimes like to re-use some of the best workout routines on the site. Of course, we also share those routines from the past for others to find, and we even have listicles and a full database to help you scour through older routines; but sometimes there are still some gems hidden in there. So, sometimes, now that we're well over 500+ workout routines on the site, we share a slightly different variation of an older workout routine that was extremely effective for other members. This only takes place on character workouts, and only when it fits perfectly, but it is important to share.
Please note that all our workout routines are based on whatever information we can compile through our research (even if we cannot find any at all; in which case we build them based on the celebrities aesthetics and use what we've seen from other celebrities in the past); and we do not actually train all of these celebrities (hence why you see quotes and information shared from their actual private trainers! :P)
Please also note that character workouts are all INSPIRED BY the characters they are written for.

WHO AM I?

I'm Mike Romaine.
SHJ's Nick Fury and Founder of All Things Awesome.
My Mission Is To Unleash As Many Superhumans Into The World As Possible
Over 5 years ago I set out to combine my two passions: fitness and nerdom.
Way before that I was personal training private clients, and actually being paid well, but I couldn't stand the constant salesy BS hidden behind every pitch. Not to mention the fact that I felt I could offer the same awesomeness in a way that didn't cost $100 a SESSION.
Yes, that's literally A SESSION.
Multiply that by 2-4 sessions a week, and then 4 weeks....
And, just to put that into perspective, our Academy, which is the backbone of the entire site and our philosophy, costs less than ONE SESSION of what I charged when I was coaching privately.
Crazy. I know....
Thankfully, another one of my passions is writing. I actually graduated from Stony Brook University with a Bachelors in English (and a Minor in History and Business, if anyone cares), because I was originally going to school to become an English Teacher!
So, I decided to take the leap and see if I can help people in a super fun way, without the BS, while also keeping allowing them to unleash their inner Superhuman and unlock The Hollywood Physique.
I also decided I wanted to cut the price tag, which was SO MUCH MONEY, and consistently as well.
Which is why every single product is one time payment -> LIFETIME access.
But, anywho, fast forward to now, and over half a million people have downloaded our routines, on top of over SIX MILLION people checking out our workouts on a yearly basis.
And we're just getting started.
Here's some obligatory shirtless pictures from guinea pigging our Academy and Superhero Programs prior to launches:

WHO ARE WE NOW?
Don't worry: that crazy lady we're holding up isn't going to try to teach you anything about fitness and nutrition; she's just our mom.
What started as one man on a mission to unleash as many superhumans into this world as possible has turned into an army of people transforming on a daily basis.
I've shared some of the numbers earlier, but we literally have six million people come to the site for workouts every single year, have had over half a million people optin to our newsletter to download workouts and become a part of the team (which I'll give you another opportunity to do below), and have thousands and thousands of happy customers continuing to unleash their inner superhumans in a community that they can always come back to with their lifetime memberships.
This SHJ Army is such a movement both my brothers have even stopped what they're doing to join in.
You can find them both over on the YouTube Channel.
DOES THIS STUFF WORK!?
Yup! Everything is tested before it's shared, so we know it works before any members get their hands on it! ๐
Not only does it work...but it also really does unleash your inner Superhuman...
Here's just a few of the incredible transformations that have come from SHJ workouts and our Academy:
And there's a lot more where that came from..
Every day we recieve new success stories from people all over the world who are either members of our Private Community inside The Academy or simply taking advantage of all the resources we have right here on the site.
Here's a few more to keep you motivated and get you ready for your own journey:
If you want it, you can be next.
Regardless of whether you're ready to take the leap and join us inside our Academy or simply start using the free resources to get started, I've provided TONS of useful links below for you to take advantage of.
Below that you'll also find a quick breakdown of all of our programs if you want to begin deciding your next steps towards becoming a Superhuman.
READ ABOUT SOME OF THE ABOVE SUCCESS STORIES
GETTING STARTED | USEFUL LINKS
Obviously any of the above images/links I've shared thus far are a great place to start.
That being said...we have a TON of resources at the site, so I want to do my best to help you out.
One great way to get started is to go through our Free Five Day Mini Coaching Series which you get when you join our email list.
Here's a list of some guides and resources you should might want to take advantage of:
The Workout Database Sub Categories, Quizzes and Listicles
While The Workout Database itself is filled with HUNDREDS and hundreds (and hundreds) of celebrity and character inspired workout routines, it can be a bit crowded.
For that reason we have listicles, quizzes and sub-categories within The Workout Database to help you find what you're looking for.
Here are some of the top resources from these categories:
1. Sub categories:
and more within The Workout Database itself.
2. Quizzes:
The Free SHJ Workout Placement Quiz
(or Character Workout Placement Quiz
Male Celeb Workout Placement Quiz
Female Celeb Workout Placement Quiz)
The Program Placement Quiz (for help choosing the best SHJ Program)
Which DC Superhero Are You? Quiz
Which Marvel Superhero Are You? Quiz
Which Anime Character Are You? Quiz
3. Listicles:
You can find all of our listicles here, but there are some specific favorites I feel like I should share to get you started!
For example, we have The Top 10 Male Celebrity Workout Routines at SHJ
The Top 10 Female Celebrity Workout Routines at SHJ
The Top 10 Character (Superhero, Anime, Video Game, etc) Workout Routines at SHJ
The Top 10 Calisthenics Workouts You Can Do From Home
and so many more.
The Nutrition Pillars, Top Articles, and Beginner Guides
Similar to our Workout Database, our Nutrition Pillars have a ton of resources that can be quite confusing when just starting out (information overload, anyone?)...
For that reason I want to give you a breakdown of what you'll find when you get there, and dial down the information a bit to make it a bit easier for you to digest.
Here are some of the top resources from these categories:
1. The Top Nutrition Article(s):
I think by far my favorite article is the one that breaks down The Top Diets Among ALL Celebrities We've Researched At SHJ.
This is a great starting point to not only give you an idea of the fad diets celebrities are using (or not using), and also a bit of a link-out to some of your favorite celebrities individual articles.
Outside of our Guides, some other great nutrition articles are long research based like
The Truth About Artificial Sweeteners
Are Energy Drinks Bad For You?
The Problems With Calorie Counting and Why It Isn't A Perfect System
2. SHJ Nutrition Guides:
A lot of our articles on nutrition end up being formatted into guides, which is why singular articles are more rare in this category. Being that we have a wide variety of guides, this is where I would suggest prioritizing your reading:
SHJ Intermittent Fasting Guide
SHJ Daily Protein Intake Guide
Other Miscellaneous Resources at SHJ
We continue to add more resources to the site on a daily basis.
Within workout routines you'll generally find some breakdowns on training styles, but we also have some other articles that can help you out with your training outside signing up for The Academy for full breakdowns and video guides on all things training and leveling up your regime.
Here are some of the top resources from these categories:
1. Superhuman Secrets:
While this isn't a "free" resource, it is one of the best resources on the site in terms of value. I wrote a book 250+ pages on years and years of research on the world's top celebrities and performers. You get case studies, full breakdowns of 300+ celebrities and how they compare, actionable advice, and so much more. If you're looking to learn about training, how the celebrities REALLY do it, or even just curious where each of them fall in terms of fitness regimes; this is your best bet.
Learn more about my book here.
2. Fitness Gear Articles
By "fitness gear" I mean equipment both for your house, and for your gym bag (and other places, obviously). We have a handful of articles building your
Superhero Home Gyms (one for $100, one for $250)
The Best Work From Home Fitness Setup
The Top Things You Should Have In Your Gym Bag
3. Supplement Articles
Similar to our "fitness gear" articles we also have supplement articles like
The Top Pre-Workout Supplements
The Top Protein Powder Supplements
The Top Weight Management Supplements
The Top Multivitamin Supplements
4. Other Resources and Guides to start with:
We also have a ton of other guides that don't specifically fall into any of these categories, but can be extremely important to your training. Some of these include:
The SHJ Guide to Pyramid Training
How To Get Better At Pull Ups (Plus Pull Up Alternatives)
The Secret To A Flat Stomach and Six Pack Abs
How To Get Better At Pull Ups, Push Ups, Dips, Squats and Calisthenics
How To Get The Hollywood Physique: A Look At Hollywood Based Training
SHJ PROGRAMS, PRODUCTS & COACHING
Don't worry: I'm going to keep this section short and sweet for you guys being that I already went over a handful of information on our products and services as I went through all the other information about SHJ.
That being said, I'm sure there are more questions to be answered.
Here's a quick breakdown on some of the programs, products and services you can find at SHJ:
THE SUPERHERO ACADEMY
A huge academy full of 500+ workouts (Exlusive paths, Mega Paths, Celeb Workout Packets, etc), superhero goal oriented 12-16 week programs, exclusive training modules, the "Upgrade Your Workout Tool", nearly half a dozen nutrition classes breaking down fad diets and other pathways, learning modules/course, sample meal plans and more.
The goal is variable.
The goal is YOUR goal!
(lose fat, build mass, get healthy, etc. etc.)
YOU build a routine around YOUR goal using thousands of variations in order to make it the most sustainable FOR YOU.
You are given a Plug and Play System to BUILD YOUR Specific Regime (capable of changing to any goal), by utilizing the resources inside The Academy.
Learn more about The Superhero Academy.
THE SUPERHUMAN SYSTEM
The Superhuman System was developed after years of researching the world's top performers and celebrities that is THE most effective, sustainable and efficient system to achieve what the world deems as The Superhero Physique.
The goal is to achieve The Superhero Physique!
(think Jason Statham, Gal Gadot, Ryan Reynolds, Scarlett Johansson, Ryan Reynolds, Jennifer Aniston, Hemsworth, and more)
You are given a system of scalable (make it easier or harder depending on your fitness level) programming that changes DAILY, and a 4-Tier-Nutrition System, both built specifically to help you unlock The Superhero Physique.
You are given the EXACT Superhuman System already built specifically to achieve The Superhero Physique.
Learn more about The Superhuman System.
THE BEHEMOTH PROGRAM
The Behemoth Program is built around the same research used to make our Superhuman System, BUT it's build to achieve a different kind of Superhero Physique: The Big MASSIVE Physique. We incorporate the same styles, but build around weightlifting as well.
The goal is to achieve The MASSIVE Superhero Physique!
(think Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Dave Bautista, Henry Cavill, Arnold Schwarzenegger and more)
You are given a system of scalable (make it easier or harder depending on your fitness level) programming that changes DAILY, and a 4-Tier-Nutrition System, both built specifically to help you unlock The MASSIVE Superhero Physique.
You are given the EXACT Behemoth Program already built specifically to achieve The MASSIVE Superhero Physique.
Learn more about The Behemoth Program.
THE SHJ NUTRITION SYSTEM
One thing that has always been a pain point for our SHJ Army has been nutrition. Even though our Academy and Superhuman System have Nutrition Pillars and Systems of their own I decided to develop a larger hub or resources and a full course on our 4-Tier-Nutrition System to help members step it up a notch.
This is the exact system that was built by basing it on HUNDREDS of celebrities, athletes, and the world's top performers.
The goal of our SHJ Nutrition System is to prioritize sustainability by using the most efficient and effective pillars that are easy to build around ANY other restrictions you may have, while also allowing you to achieve any goal effortlessly (without sacrificing food you love or restrictions you care about).
Learn more about The SHJ Nutrition System.
THE SUPERHERO PROGRAMS
(NOW FREE IN THE ACADEMY)
I have a lot of people emailing and asking "What happened to The Superhero Programs!?"...
The answer is: they were absorbed by The Superhero Academy.
The Academy now comes with The Cut and Shred, The Bulk and Strength, The Ladies - Glutes, Tone and Slim, The Body Recomp, The Superhero Apprentice (Beginner), and The Hollywood Secrets Bootcamp 12-16 Week Programs absolutely free.
If you're looking for something similar to The Superhero Programs your best bet is either grabbing them inside The Academy or utilizing The SHJ Legacy or Behemoth Program(s) [Behemoth coming soon].
SUPERHERO JACKED COACHING
Superhero Jacked Coaching options are ever-changing depending on what we're currently working on.
If we are super busy developing projects we may very well have a full schedule which potentially doesn't allow us to take on new members.
That being said, one thing we almost always have going is our 12 Weeks of Coaching [Option] that you can sign up for when joining The Academy.
Another great way to find out about our coaching options is to keep an eye out for updates to The Program Shop (they're usually listed at the bottom), and updates within our newsletter.
If you're not a member of the newsletter you can join hundreds of thousands of members and get instant access to over 500 Workout Routines and our 5 Day Mini Coaching Series absolutely free.
