John Abraham Workout Schedule and Diet Chart (Full case study)

Who is John Abraham? John is a model, Indian film actor and influential sex symbols in India.  He has inspired many young Indians on Fitness. He has put up lot of effort for one of his recent movies called Force. Analyzing the body type of John Abraham, he comes under ecto-mesomorph. The body type can easily fluctuate between lean and muscular. They tend to have broad shoulders, narrow waists, ankles, and wrists, and a “V” shape of the torso. Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, and Dwayne Wade are examples of ecto-mesomorphs. In about 8 months, John has transformed from a lean to very muscular from 85kg to 96kgs.

Increasing the Carbohydrate & protein intake with perfect practice technique will help to gain weight easily on the muscles. Many people put weights on the joints, instead of muscle. John has undergone a serious training with proper guidance from his personal trainer vinod channa.

John Abraham diet plan

John had both vegetarian and non-vegetarian foods in equal proportion. According to his goal, he had to take 200gms of protein intake daily. If you’re a pure veggie, check out our guide on top 10 sources of veggie protein and also list of fruits high on protein.

Apart from veggies and fruits, you can have lot of egg whites and fish in your daily intake. They are some superior forms of protein. If you want some serious muscle mass, your daily intake should least have minimum of 6-7 egg whites and a piece of fish, chicken breast etc.

To hit the goal you desire, 60% depends on the diet and 40% on the workout. For john, he burns 4000 to 5000 calories per day and consumes lot of high protein and carbs intake. Along with that he has taken multi vitamin tablets and protein supplements. No STEROIDS. With this diet, protein supplements, multi vitamin to recover muscle and good amount of sleep along with 6 days of workout schedule can help you achieve your goal easily.

John Abraham Workout Diet Chart

Pre-workout – Carb intake. Breakfast – Black coffee/green tea (which will boost your metabolism if you’re going to work out in the morning), 4 egg whites / 1 potato/sweet potato/corn/wheat flakes/brown bread (these are high carbs) and one apple.

Post workout – 6-7 egg whites with protein shake.

Morning breaks – Pasta (for the carbs quotient, Whey proteins, Salad)

Lunch – rotis, 3-4 slices of steamed fish, Sprouts, sabji, dal, curd and a carrot

Evening breaks – 3-4 egg whites, mashed potato, apple, orange, sweet lime or papaya

Dinner – Bajra/ jowar/ nachni rotis.

No carbs intake after 5 pm. Dinner before 9 pm.

Overall, John’s diet consists of 50 per cent protein, 20 per cent carbohydrates, 20 per cent fibre, 10 per cent anti-oxidants and essential fats.

John Abraham workout plan

John Abraham workout schedule used to have two body parts a day. One big muscle followed by a small muscle. So for example, he would work out Chest and triceps one day, Shoulder and biceps, Back/lat one day, then legs twice a week. Each workout will contain 4 sets with 10-12 reps each. Each body part had 4 or 5 variations of the exercise.

After workout, he would run 20-25 minutes. Not running actually, brisk walking speed. If you’re main goal is to bulk up, build muscle size, then you need to lift weights first and then do cardio at the end. You get a much better endurance training effect from running after lifting weights.

Only with proper guidance and discipline, your body will react to your changes. Only then it is ready for sculpting.

  1. i am 16 and i have been gyming from last six months .earlier my chest was 30 now it is 35 and biseps were 10.30 and now they are 13.3 .i want to bulk up my back and biseps which gainer i must use my weight is 59 and height is 5.9

    • This Workout is bogus brother. What you have to do is follow my routine. send me an email at sameerhasabichawla@gmail.com. I say this simply because you have been going to the gym for the past 6 months but your gains are not at all what they should be you should be able to lift way more than this and i feel like your plateauing low when you should be adding weight to how much you lift in each excercise on almost a weekly basis if not biweekly. Send me an email and I’ll show you how to do it at no cost.

    • Like the way john workout u nt even right a bit.
      For make a body for his movie force.. he used weight gainers first he build up a mass inbody..

  8. Hello Sir,. I am 29 Years Old height is 6.1 Weight is 49 kg. Slim Body. want to gain weight and body. advice me diet and exercise and for good supplements.

    • I was exactly where you are when I began, not as tall though. But now I weigh around 68 (I had set a target of 70. A long way to go but I’m on it.)

      One thing for you is absolutely clear you need to eat. Start of by going to the gym in the mornings, you’ll be refreshed the whole day and make sure you eat before you go to the gym. This is what my routine looks like.

      Pre Workout: Banana shake (Important to eat before you hit the gym)

      Post workout: 3 egg whites and two whole eggs (boiled or scrambled whatever you prefer) with parantha or 2-3 bread slices.

      Lunch: Try to eat rice for at least one meal of the day (lunch or dinner) if you can manage both, even better.

      Snack: I usually eat omelette with some bread or some sandwiches.
      Do not eat biscuits or namkeen for snacks. Whenever you’re hungry eat something healthy. Omelettes, sandwiches, fruits. Try to avoid deep fried stuff if you have an healthier alternative. But if you have no other option please go for the fired stuff. You can not afford to stay hungry.

      Dinner: Again the same as lunch. Rotis, rice vegetables, dals etc.

      Also make sure you drink at least 500 ml of milk in a day. It does not have to be in one go, can spread it out throughout the day. But at least 500 ml (More if you can manage). Milk, although a little fatty is a great source of easy calories for people like me who cant eat as much and sometimes prefer to gulp down their calories,

      This is not a very extensive or complicated diet plan but this will get you going for now. At first you may not feel the urge to eat this much but you will get used to it.

      Supplements:
      Go for Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass, I have tried it personally and it gives great results. The only down side to it is that its still pretty expensive and the serving size is also an issue. Let me know if you want to try Serious mass, i’ll guide you about the serving size and how I took it.

      Or you could make you own weight gainer shake.
      Milk
      Quaker Oats
      Bananas
      Peanut Butter
      Blend all this in a blender and you get easily a drink which gets you around 800 calories.

  9. Your comment…res sir I am medical representatives n also doing gym sir my waight 65 hight 5.6 but some obesity I waont to loss obesity current diet taking 3 eggs after work out in lunch dinner using dal,chattani,not rice or faaty foods or not heavy dinner so plz help curent gym schedule 2 days cardio,2 days for upper n lower body so plz suggest diet n workout.thanks

    • Your comment…always eat oatmeal in dinner.no milk and no sugar with it.after one to two weeks start taking it for your breakfast with protein powder.do high intensity interval training for your cardio for 20-30 minutes. If possible replace your lunch with green vegetables and lean red meat.you will SEE RESULTS FOR SURE.
      hope that helps.

    • Usually there are no side effects to taking whey apart from the fact that it may tax your kidneys a bit, so make sure have no allergies or anything on that front. If you plan to take your whey with milk, lactose intolerance may also be another issue. But this is not very common in India since we are generally a milk drinking nation.

      For the time taken to build, if you are just starting off and are a complete beginner then you will start to see results very quickly, a little over a month. These are generally called noob gains (Enjoy them while they last). But once they are over you will start to plateau then its time to change (maybe your workout plan or your diet, either ways it will be time for change).

      Just make sure you keep at it and there are no shortcuts to success. Supplements are absolutely fine but all the other crap that floats around in gyms is useless. All you will get is hollow results.

      I may not yet be a pro but have done my share of research. Hit me up if you want to anything else johndoe301190@gmail.com
