The most honest part of the video: the trainer flat out saying that this was all carefully orchestrated by an entire team focusing on Jake’s needs, and NOT sustainable
It is sustainable if you are a UPS driver.
balanced out by the lie about how it was one session. its edited from different days. also insert obligatory test and hgh comment
Unsustainable
GAAAAAAINZ
To be fair he only said the diet was unsustainable. It's not unrealistic for the average person to sustain a tough workout routine if they do it the right way and prioritize it.
Dr Mike is going to love this.
exactly I am looking forward to the reaction.
@RenaissancePeriodization
😂😂😂
I came here to say this 😂
Man as soon I saw this I was thinking the same, can't wait.
Ive always respected Jake as an actor. He has always done whats needed to BE the part, not just act it. He truly is one of our times best method actors. To read the lines and play the part is one thing, but to totally transform your body with so much hard work is impressive. Kudos to one of fave actors.
Christian Bale
forgot one key ingredient lmao
❤
Super easy for them to cheat their way their anyone can do that
The first scene whene he takes his top of was insane, absolute machine 👍
This guy has played everything a little boy can dream of soldiers, cops, robbers, mountaineers, boxers, mma fighters, Prince of Persia.😂 Great actor!
Don't forget Cowboy 🤠
@@Jazzman1208 I was just waiting for that comment.😂
Astronaut too.
He probably has Johnny Sins as his inspiration
Mysterio !!!
He didnt need to go through those workouts, he saved the universe as teenager
Yessss! Dalton is basically grown up Donnie. Down to the verbal burns he'd toss.
Damn now I need to watch Donnie darko again.
And we thank Donnie for that. ❤
He also sold his soul just like the rest of these celebrities and you one of his worshippers
I thought you were talking about bubble boy
I feel like this movie was more for a paycheck and to get shredded. Such a run of the mill movie.
Thank you for a look behind the scenes. It's great what's being done here.
"Forearm strength also correlates heavily to longevity" Because active people tend to have strong forearms not because training forearms makes you live longer
Exaaactly
Dr. Peter Attia discusses this. It's specific to grip strength, not overall fitness or strength--the likely correlation is grip strength will help prevent you from falling (can grab onto something), which is the key life shortening event for elderly.
@@pad2264 it's that grip strength is a strong indicator of a robust neural firing i.e. healthy brain. Grip itself isn't making you live longer, it's a sign that your motor cortex hasn't atrophied
Exactly 😂
A textbook example of false correlation.
This 43 year old man inspired me to workout and take care of myself. Thank you Jake.
He get paid to train
@@GamerRangerX you missed the point which is: 43 is not too old to get in shape (ok, more if you get payed to do it, but still you can get in shape).
That's great man! But please do not get discouraged by how he looks, he is 100% on some anabolic steriods or testosterone boosters. I wish you lots of courage and fun on your fitness journey!
@@BeatleHD22I agree. All of these Hollywood transformations are result of some EXTRA help. But still i like these because a lot and lot of hard work is also involved and this motivate us to move forward and improve ourselves.
@@BeatleHD22oh man u guys think everyone is on steroids 😂
big respect - great actor and motivation to try some of this training myself
It’s awesome that Hollywood finds all these actors that can get ripped, while adding muscle in such a relatively short amount of time.
Crazy hyperresponders
its called steroids bud
Didn't he say that he trained for a year? Don't think it's too hard with a team helping you to build muscle like that.
@@nicholascowling7052 he also said he wasn’t enhanced. I’m not buyin what he’s sellin
100%@@bendoesjiujitsu9369
I love watching these fitness trainer videos. Amazing to see how many exercises they can make up just to avoid doing normal standard lifts.
Or to avoid admitting that these results are not entirely natural...
honestly, out of all these bulshit videos, this one had the basics down - squats, dlifts, press, sled pulls/pushes, pushups. Pretty decent.
@@TVsez You should really just get a trainer and see for yourself how far you can go without steriods or PEDS. You don't need PEDS to get a build like his most MMA fighters are built like this on training alone. Powerlifters NEED the assistance to recover and recruit more muscle mass that would be detrimental to a fighter who needs to be efficient with oxygen and very agile at all times. Not saying he didn't take any type of substances but you rarely need it to get to this level. Try it if you are skeptical, see for yourself rather than just assume everything you can't acheive is done so with some unfair advantage others have over you.
@@bw8383MMA fighters are ALL juicing, etc.
@@bw8383yes. He is pretty cut but he is not super buffed up. You can definitely get this being in the gym consistently and I’m sure he was there for hours. Especially for men, this absolutely doable.
Gotta love Jake's dedication and discipline. Not only bright lights that comes with this job, lots of discipline and sacrifice too.
Thank you for a look behind the scenes. It's great what's being done here. 💪
Step One: Don’t have a normal 40 hour per week job
Precisely - my thoughts too...
step two: juice
Not true at all I work 40 a week and go gym almost everyday. Just don’t follow celebrity plans is step one
Building his body is a part of his 40hour per week job as an actor
Excuses everyone works 40 hours
Just the determination on his face shows how much he wants and loves this. He is a man of his craft
He’s a man who sold his soul and your another one of his worshippers
Working hard and looking good is very satisfying in itself. Not having to work a day job makes it that much better too
nice work
It’s a she just like whole Hollywood is inverted
It's called acting
One of my Favourite actors. His Dedication is unreal
So is his pay packet
He tends to overdue things, just mho
All you have to do to is work hard. He has everything, trainer, dietician.
I love Jake he is so versatile as an actor
he literally had ONE JOB, get in shape, stop glorifying celebrities who live comfortable lives
I'm quite impressed with what it took to get there. Thanks for sharing.
I think it is very helpful how they offer alternatives to the workouts that Jake does with expensive machines, and it shows that they realize how most people do not have access to much of the equipment that Jake uses.
“The clean way, no shortcuts “😂
He’s 43 😂
@@matthewedwards4238 I'm 40 and I'm in better shape than I've ever been. I do 5 workouts a week, 1 hour each, 3 upper days, 2 lower. I've worked out for 2 years now, never did before that and I'm jacked. All I take is creatine, turkesterone, plenty of protein and vitamins. You guys sound like a bunch of jealous teenage girls.
Idk, he's pretty light and seems to stay in decent shape good shape. If they trained for a year, it's reasonable.
@@JaRW7 not with these useless “functional” exercises, you’d a specified body building program, and a prolonged dedicated bulk, much longer than a year even if you’ve already built an aesthetic body.
@@hdmairbf They probably do all the basics as well, these are just the movements that helped with MMA training.
Dont know about the "clean" part lmao but the dedication cannot be denied
What do you mean by clean?
@@jg2722roids. Its literally the only way to get a body like that, esp when youre almost 50
@@jg2722 he means that when the dude says "do it clean, no shurtcut" it kinda sounds like bs because he probably took some pills to help fasten the process (Conor McGregor fast lol)
100% NOT clean and you can tell that by his buldged abs. Bulged abs like that are a classic sign of gear.
@@zboub7025 “probably” we don’t know. You do know that not everyone uses pills and drugs when they train/workout right ?
Incredible dedication total commitment for a unique film choreography, a much more involved film than just an action flick. Thanks for sharing great job also👏👍
I like the push pull one…I haven’t seen that before, and there is rarely a new move in the gym! Good work Jake!
Chicken, Broccoli, Rice and a lot of cycling. You do not even need a bike.
and steroids
@@bristolq I think the "cycling" has two meanings lol
Must've eaten more Trenbologna sandwiches for this role!
@@bristolq TO GET LIKE THAT YOU DON'T NEED JUICE, IT'S SUPER OBTAINABLE NATURALLY, I'M 49 YRS OLD AND STILL HAVE THE THUMBNAIL BICEP, GET OFF THE COUCH DUDE, I'M NATURAL, BEEN ALL MY LIFE
@@chriskim7123 i see you saw through my comment ;)
This guy doesn't get enough respect. He dedicates his body to his workouts specifically for this roles and he never disappoints. One of the most respectable actors in Hollywood, and not much of them anymore.
maybe focus more on the acting and it's really easy to lift all day when your parents are millionaires and you never worked a day in your life.
@@thedoad6211 hasn't he been acting since the 90s? Professionally, too?
@@josephaaron4985 Because his parents were Millionaire Movie producers. Shocking I know.
But Look at those abs. Sorry the industry dumped his sister because she didn't fit their "look" anymore.
Throws himself into every role. Complete and total dedication. Very similar to Daniel Day Lewis back in the day
this is 8 minutes of ultimate inspiration
I'd like to thank the YT algorithm for getting me here :) Jake and his Team! No small task. Impressive. really enjoyed Roadhouse!
A homeless woman named Emma recently experienced a life-changing encounter with LARRY FRED's KZhead videos. Through his content, Emma found motivation, regained her strength, and ultimately became successful. It's a beautiful testament to the power of compassion and the transformative influence of the internet. Let's remember that even in our darkest moments, there is always hope for a brighter future.
I know "LARRY FRED".
Awesome place to view out on KZhead for successful deeds!!!!!
Thanks I just searched, I saw his videos. I'm really impressed with his credentials.
The bots have evolved
@@Joe-rl4pv🤣
Thank you for sharing your journey Jake and Jason, awesome to see it from start to finish :)
Amazing dedication, it's all about the team!!
Wow....great training! Jake was amazing...so much mental strength to do this...thanks trainer!!!
Great video. Thank you for posting it. Jake G. is an incredibly hard worker to get into shape the way he has over the years. Wow!
How much gear tho
Can't wait for Dr Mike to react to this
Who is that? Link to a video?
Channel is Renaissance Periodization
Dr Mike Tyson?
I know only Dr Pepper ^^
Let’s keep in mind that Dr. Mike’s sole focus is hypertrophy. It’s clear that here they were shooting for performance/athleticism as well.
This was a great video. I need to work on my grip strength!! a lot of cool movements!!
"road house" this movie is amazing i love it.
Jason Walsh you are a great trainer,Gyllenhall,great work and commitment
Dude is 43 years old! Respect
Cmon he's not that old.
Haha you must be very young. 43 isn’t old.
Haha I know I just know people in their 40s who look way older and unhealthier. Jake looks 10 years younger. Dude gives me hope :))))
@@foxxiiYou wish it would be like that, but our own perception fools us already. We are to arrogant and blind to admit that we are past our prime and dont have the same energy level, mental quickness and pleasure like in puberty. We are in a rotting process, getting dumber und dumber every day. Only our wisdom and illusions keeps us alive. And when the kids from today look at a 40 year old, they wonder, why he isnt already in retirement home. Sucks to become self what we once despised.
I don't know about that. You just have to try harder the older you get. 2 weeks ago I did my second MTB ride for the season. Total time of 2 hours and 40 minutes and I spent 1 hour and 14 minutes of that time in my heart rate zone 5. Note that it was a ride just for fun, not a workout. I'll be 45 this summer.@@Hairu_Ihei_666
He had an army of physicians, nutritionists, different coachs depending of type of training, likely chefs preparing his multiple meals per day, not to mention 2 workout sessions for days for at least 4 or 5 months. Briefly nobody can do that unless being a motivated millionaire with full time available. But he did well. And I very much liked the film.
Yeah its almost like he is on PEDs. Wait... HE IS. This Body can be achived naturally in many years. But in one its impossible. All these fancy but useless excercises are just cover the steroid useage
They forgot to mention the steroids
It absolutely can be done, just not likely in that short of a time frame. I've known several people who look like him, who have done it clean, but it took them many years to get to that point. Good genetics can get you there faster, but generally it would take a lot of time.
Unreal WOW just WOW Training in the Gym has come a long way! Congratulations!
"To do this clean no shortcuts" The clean part though😅
Is the clean in the room with us
@@nottheone582no, but the clen is
Obviously he put a ton of hard work in but lets be real here.. no shortcuts except for steroids is what he meant to say
@Adam-ck8sb , who's jealous?, I've seen you on a few comments spouting this now! Some people know how ridiculously difficult, almost impossible this is to achieve in your 40s, so maybe assume a little help was used. I personally think he managed to do it with just the team of trainers and nutritionists, and some of the best facilities money can buy, not to mention the spare time as an actor in a pre-production period.
@Adam-ck8sb I'm saying that just because people question it doesn't automatically mean they're jealous.
One of the most underrated actors of our time.
Underrated?? What rock have you been living under?? Ridiculous comment.
HE DESERVES A SUPERHERO ROLE !!
Amazing at the training and I loved the movie, I’ll be adding it to my dvd collection when it comes out 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You can tell how real dedicated Jake Gyllenhaal was for this film ! Abs Are Phenomenal!
Sculpted by a professional for sure. Professional aesthetic surgeon. Wish these videos were honest.
Anabolic steroids do provide phenomenal results, yes 😂
@@Cole-Stewart7question: why do so many maleoids like gossiping like little teenagers about other men’s bodies?
It's so you can be passive aggressive to strangers online.@@bob1757
Some great tips here I'll be incorporating into my own and my clients training 💪🏾
Im a 43 yr old male thats 1.8m tall and a bit overweight...this dedication for preperation is so inspiering...much respect to all the work that has been put in. Heads up to Jake...one of the best actors of my time without a doubt . Emile Kruger Cape Town.
steroids
One of the most talented and gifted
Jake looks great well done buddy, this is inspiring seeing your transformation 💪🏾🔥🔥
Been waiting for this one!
one thing Jake will do is fully commit to a role, Love it
Salute this guy for Overall Discipline & Dedication
It's the $$$$$
You guys did an amazing job! Super impressed!!! Great movie!
This is pure dedication, class act to him
It’s Tren and diuretics.
bros def on juice
Dedication is definitely easier when making millions to do this and have personal trainers and chefs
Terrific effort! Loved the movie! 👍🏻🤙🏻
Major respect for Jake. He has the major advantages of the trainer, the time to train, the facilities and equipment needed, the diet, the chef etc etc. What he provides that not many people will is the hard work,determination, and willpower to get it done at a very high level. Very interesting video. Thank you.
Forgot the gear
When you're getting paid to do it, that's all the motivation you should need. 💰💰💰
for real its amazing how many people don't realize they are all on gear @@tanthaman
Only you decided what is put into your body. He just gets paid to do vs doing it just cause.
Plus, all them extra medications.
I’ve been waiting for this video since the first roadhouse pictures came out
Will there be a part 2? Love Jake ❤
My all-time favorite actor. Never missed his movies 🎬 🎞 😊
One of the most dedicated and hardworking Actor working in the business...🙌
Forgot to mention he sold his soul
Dude, it’s just steroids
@@robvaneck5410 not just steroids. Steroids alone won't get you anywhere you still need to put in the work.
@@robvaneck5410you understand that he’s still working hard though right? You can’t just take steroids and be set. You still have to work for results. I feel like you shouldn’t discredit his efforts
@@MHzZzIf someone paid me 10-20 million for a movie, then I would work hard too, especially if I was paid to get my body in shape.
Insane workouts! Cudos to Jake for pushing himself to a great new level!
Jake Gyllenhaal looks phenomenal! It doesn't surprise me how disciplined he is...he has that aura about him.
Brutal! I love it. Jake is a complete badass
Jake is a Beast in the gym.
He's great actor! I think he puts in a lot of effort for each role. That's why I think the fruits of that effort are in the film.
PED’s
@@marcelmarshall4240 safe
He DONNIE DARKO😎
Congrats to Jake and his trainers! Great equipment in that gym!
J Gizzle beast with that humbleness. Great combo
Jakes a beast bro much respect
Honestly, I need this coach
Amazing! Well done. Super inspiring. If I had the money, I would defiantly hire you. I saw both movies. Excellent cast. Worth seeing, however I would recommend seeing Road House 1989 version first.
What a start of the day! This man's dedication is worthy of mimicking!!!!!!!!
They left out the part were Jake used all the PED’s in the world to look like this lol 🤣
Man, Jake really knocked it out of the park again. I'm surprised to have seen him bloom from a guy I couldn't stand watching, to one of the most versatile and interesting actors of modern cinema. Absolutely brutal.
Why couldn’t you stand him?
@@DonnieBrascoo Honestly, I can't pin point it exactly. It felt like he needed to act out something, that he didn't seem passionate about. Clearly this is all projection though. It could have just been bad casting. I just know the movie that started to change my perception, giving him a chance. Which was Source Code. Not to say every movie he's been in struck gold since, but his acting was always on point.
@@Smirkules One of is first movies was Donnie Darko which is a cult classic. Brokeback mountain is another very good picture. But I understand what you mean. He’s in his peak now. He was phenomenal in Nightcrawler, Prisoners and The Covenant. He is without a doubt one of the best and most versatile actors ever.
Ty for this. The movie was 🔥btw. 👏🤝
I am 62 I´ve been doing almost the same exercises 3 x a week for about a long period of time and I can´t achieve such a shape! What I´ve been doing wrong? Love to JAKE!!!
Jake is looking cut👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
this is the video i wanted
All I see is heath ledger spitting on his hand in that tent lol
such a great actor and his training is 🔥🔥🔥
So underrated! One of the best actors out there. Just fineeeeeeee!!! Lol
😳 yes. lol.
My god what a workout good for Jake to do it hes a beast !!!!! And you sir are a world class trainer!!!!!! I wish I had the money to hire you to get me in shape like this 😢
mountain climber is a great workout machine, ive only come across it once on an Army base. i wish my gym had it.
This is what I wanted to see ‼️
Jake doesn't play around when it comes to training for a role. This is one of the rare occasions where I see actually grueling and functional workouts instead of the typical bodybuilder program meant to gain mass and that's it. By the end of his Southpaw training and this one, he looks capable of actually fighting instead of just looking the part.
What is not functional about a deadlift? How is bench press not functional? The strongest people in the world all do these exercises, just like bodybuilders.
A benchpress is not declared as functional cause you do it only for the purpose of doing it. Never in real life u lie on the floor pressing some weight over your belly.. Deadlift may somewhat but also not, cause if you take something off the ground iRL you mostly have to do it in some odd way, therefore the deadlife does not prepare u for this. That's why does typical gym bro moves are not declared as functional. You won't be a fighter just cause u trained as gym bro...
@@NathanNiederer It is what it is. If you believe it or not.
Who declares these things ? You ? What if a beam falls on your chest, do you not bench press it up ? Or if you literally pick something heavy up in a weird way, do you not still use your hamstrings and lower back like in a deadlift ? Or lift an injured person and carry them, not a squat ? Bigger stronger muscles are better at everything, no matter how you trained them. Muscles won't make you a fighter, but a jacked fighter is better than a skinny fighter @@pun15h3r.
Jake's core looked so pumped. What was his Abs workout routine?
Jake Went beast mode for this role
Bless this vid
Jake Gyllenhaal’s work ethic is awesome, we need more movies with him in it.
Jake Gyllenhaal amazing actors
Beast. I like some of the stuff he was doing.
Awesome work ethic, great genetics just an absolute specimen 🏅
Thank you Lindor !
He was PHENOMENAL (😉👍if you understood) in Southpaw.... Seems like he's gone and done 1 better with this one. 😎👍 Lookin forward to it!!!
I can't wait to see Dr.Mike react to this
Brutal. Respect.
Great trainer, great program, great team, great actor.
I hope Jake signed up to be in other action movies that’ll actually hit the theaters.
Props to Jake, he put in extremely hard work.
He definitely trened hard.
Very impressive and motivational 🔥
I wish to see him in the Road House 2 , the guy that trains and performs stunts not just for the camera but the fighting scene
Loved this❤
