Pro Athlete Trainer Critiques Jake Gyllenhaal’s “Road House” Workout

- If you wanted to know all about Jake Gyllenhaal’s workout for his new movie “Road House”, then you’ve come to the right place. In this video, I am going to break down what Jake’s workout looks like and what he did in pursuit of the body that he achieved for this movie. Just like I’ve done for every celebrity workout critique that I have done in the past, I am going to be respectful and provide an unbiased review of Jake Gyllenhaal’s workout for Road House. Not only that, I am going to break down what parts of the workout you can add to your own as well as what might be unnecessary for your training.
To preface this video, I don’t have access to Jake’s entire workout program that he used to prepare his body for this movie, but we do have a snippet thanks to a recent video from Men’s Health. In that video, you get an example of the type of training that Jake Gyllenhaal did, but because it’s simply a small sample size of what he did, I can’t necessarily say that his programming was entirely good or bad. Without the important information, saying one way or the other would be an unfair critique and that’s what I want to avoid when doing these celebrity workout reviews.
That said, to start off, Jake does some flexibility work with poles. Now before you think that there is something special or even gimmicky about the poles, that is not the case. These help you to perform assisted stretches. In very much the same way that a squat rack could help you increase a pec minor stretch or a bench can improve a thoracic mobility drill, these help push you beyond your passive limits.
From here we see some work on the Proteus. This athletic training device is one that many pro athletes and sports teams use. It provides three dimensional resistance, particularly for rotation dominant athletes. Here, with Jake preparing to be a fighter in Road House, he wanted to move and perform like one. Given the dual benefit of conditioning to help him get cut and lose weight for the movie as well as train his core, this seemed like a good choice.
If you don’t have access to this you can perform a landmine twist exercise, as shown in the video.
Next we see some isometric work. While I think traditional isometrics performed as resistive holds are good and can increase strength within a limited range of motion from where the isometric is performed, I think there are even better benefits that come from performing overcoming isos. There are a few examples shown in the video to help you get the concept and learn how they improve type ii muscle fiber recruitment.
Keeping with the theme of athletic training, up next is sled work. Here we get a good eccentric free exercise that can be done for both strength development in the legs as well as conditioning. Because of the lack of eccentric stress we can perform these multiple times per week without accruing muscle soreness.
Now some would argue that there isn’t any traditional weight training being performed here. Well, that’s where the squat and bench press come in. Both exercises are here and have been progressively overloaded. The choices of a safety squat bar and swiss bar seem to be to accommodate a bad shoulder for Jake Gyllenhaal. Though different, I don’t believe they are a compromise and therefore have no problem with them.
Continuing on we have chain pushups.
This is actually not a gimmick exercise. The chains help to better match the resistance curve of the exercise to make it challenging throughout the entire range of motion. At the bottom of the rep the chains are piling up on the floor and unweighting. At the top, where we are strongest, the chains are lifted and more total weight is added to the system.
We finish up with some cross body movement patterns, push/pull combos and some interval based cardio to end.
I like the placement of the cardio at the end of the workout so as not to interfere with hypertrophy training as a rule, but here, where the pattern of the workouts is very conditioning based as it is it seems like more of a finisher than it does an avoidance of cardio early on. The push pull patterns are athletic and a great way to train the core. If you are looking to build more strength you can opt for a hang clean and press.
Overall, I like Jake Gylllenhaal’s workout. It checks many of the boxes helping him to achieve the body that caused you to look up the workout in the first place.

Just wanted to say thank you for that tip about cooking broccoli with butter and garlic. It actually taste pretty decent compared to just raw broccoli.
Thanks for all your work over the years, Jeff!
Have you ever seen comments of people ever mentioning having won? Lol neither have I
I love your videos. I'm training after your full body workout videos since the last year. The BEAXST program is something I fancy for a long time.
Thanks for all the great science!
Great content as always. Keep up the good work😊👍🇬🇧
Can’t wait for Dr Mike’s critique of Jeff’s critique of Jake’s workout.
I prefer "Dr Mike critiques Jeff's videos on Mentzer" lol
Haha I was just thinking the same thing. However I respect both those guys
Lol was looking for this, I just Stumbled apon Dr. Mike, a few weeks ago and I really like him. I would love to see a video of these 2 together, because they are both about same stuff, but they have differences of what they think is better.
dr mike sucks dudes a raging douchebag
Compared to Jeff, Dr. Mike is second rate, too critical and judgmental!
I took a break from this channel and checked out some other trainers, this video reminded me why I starting following you in the beginning. You are always respectful of others and you never throw hate.
Exactly. I am saddened to know that one day he will have to stop. I'm hoping another comes that will take up the mantle.
The way Jeff isn’t obsessed with what’s optimal but what’s practical is what makes him the best
Jeffs advice is very good for people who are very worried about hurting themselves and gym averse.
@@michaeltucker4864 or anyone who doesn’t want to just be mr Olympia big but also wants to be able to move around in their real life
Guys like Jake and Christian Bale take their roles to the next level. Nice insight, Jeff, your fitness level is also very impressive and certainly inspiring!
next level drugs
Great to see the positive vibe that Jeff brings to his critic videos. The world needs nice people ❤
Yes, it's nice to have more positivity in critical analysis of exercising. The unnecessary excess of negativity from some other TH-camrs bothers me.
Athlean x is the type of TH-cam who you click on his video to watch for a few minutes and watch the whole damn thing
Gets me every time lol
lol so true
I love how you make positive sense of what you see. Wanting to understand what you see and expand your horizon - instead of accepting the first negative judgement your mind offers and being condescending. Massive difference from other, raging youtubers. Jeff for fitness president!
I remember when Jeff did these all the time.
Pumped that he's bringing these back.
As a mid-40's military veteran male, who has been a fitness enthusiast since I was 16, it's actually MORE inspiring to me when I see how these celebs started before training. Not to mentioned, Jeff mentioned this transformation took place over an entire year. 205 to 185 in a year is definitely doable. Great episode.
Loved the friendly, positive tone of this critique. Although I also love critique videos from other channels, not all people train for the same goals! Would love to see you critique some influencer-style or paid-fitness-app (Bodi/Centr/Sweat) workouts!
First class critique! Jake is doing cardio training, mobility/flexibility training and strength training as any athlete should. I may even see the movie!
The movie sucks, dont waste ur time
The movie was pretty bad but it’s a Friday night on the couch if you got nothing better to do.
@@ravkue6336 I thought it was right up there with the original up til 3/4 of the way and fell off at the end. But I’m a huge road house fan and liked it a lot, but I want people to give it a watch so they’re open to the idea of a sequel. and for having never acted I think Conor great
It’s made for the gays.
Its a lifeless movie.
Watch the original. Its way better
If you want to know about Jake's shoulder, just watch City Slickers. He plays Billy Crystal's son and was popping his shoulder as a party trick 😊
Great review, job well done on educating everyone on each exercise and the goal of it as well.
Super good video and explanation, great stuff Jeff!
Spittin' truth as always, brother!! Keep up the good work, Jeff.
Dude! Your vids are consistent!! since 2013 I can count on you to say that 1 thing that puts things in perspective!
always looking for something new. thanks Jeff!
The MAJOR difference between Jake's workout and your workout is that Jake is being paid millions of dollars to do it. Little bit of sugar always helps..
Yeah pay me a few million I will curl all day 😂😂
1. He's getting paid BECAUSE he's putting the effort into his craft.
2. What makes you think AthleanX isn't minting millions?
@@KJ-69 He does have 13 million subs!
@@KJ-69 he probably is.. That's my / the same point..
@@KJ-69 ugh.. Not your as in the host, your as in everyone watching.... 🙄
Love the straightforwardness and professionalism 👍
Jeff is the best for training like an athlete, for the purpose of looking like an athlete. Dr. Mike is best for training to look as jacked as possible. Both have their purposes, and I like to learn from the two of them.
Great video! Bar hangs have been a game changer for me in fixing me shoulder issues and increasing mobility. Multiple 30-60 second sessions with varying form. Zero remaining pain.
Definitely one of your best videos! Great example for every thing people train for. I train motions in the gym for my favorite physical activities outside the gym.. when asked what I’m doing people rarely understand the answer and training for the motions of the exercise I do in other things.. Which is usually trail running mountain, biking, and Beach Volleyball
such smart and fair perspective, thanks
Jeff tries to make sense, be fair and realistic.
So rare. ❤
Thank you for your hard work.
Needless to say this free information is absolutely amazing. The repetitive sound in the background is making me grind my teeth. Good for the jawbone!
Understanding through knowledge.
Solid AX video as always
Jeff has been the most trust worthy person in the TH-cam fitness industry for over a decade.
He copies other guy’s stuff.
@@4rdF1Hunny Everyone copies eachother and adapts the content to their audience. That's how knowledge is shared. Problem? Go elsewhere.
When I first started working out this is the first TH-cam channel I subscribed to. I had no idea comparatively but I made the right choice trusting Jeff.
@@4rdF1Hunny
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Thanks, Jeff. I picked up many training tips through this video. I went to my gym to try some of the immovable resistance exercises and was impressed with how much it worked many muscles. I also realized this could be an easy way to injure yourself if not done correctly. I would appreciate a video going more in depth about it. Thanks.
That’s Exactly why I clicked on this video Jeff, Jake looks great. Never thought of him as tough, and he still is a bit of a sleeper. His character is tougher than he initially appears. I think Jake is sending this link to all his friends. Really enjoyed this
I feel some subtle jabs at the good doctor here.
I'm here for it. Love you both
Great video as always, the inevitable “Jeff hates on Gyllenhaal workout” click bait shorts should be along any time now.
Great review, Jeff!
No BS… no manipulation… just pure this-is-how-it-is content! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
So glad Jeff is going back to doing these. Dr. Mike is my comic relief. Jeff is my guru.
Dr. Mike is hilarious to watch especially when the workouts tend to be more fluff then substance.
@@jamesness5312 Hilarious yes. Evident that he hides behind his jokes to cover up a lot of bro science knowledge? 100%. Someone who knows him said he is an adjunct professor which is like the absolute lowest on the totem pole at a university. It's basically a substitute teacher.
@@jaredjordan7935 You mention bro science and then a sentence later you drop something as useless as "someone who knows him said". Get a life, troll.
@jaredjordan7935 I'd say he pulls a lot of good sources and usually names them, but he only considers optimal hypertrophy in his critique videos.
Most of those coaches are getting a better than normal paycheck to keep an actor, who doesn't want to train, entertained for an hour a few times a week.
If the workout is as boring as doing the most optimal thing over and over, the actors gonna find a new coach. I don't blame them for taking the paycheck, it's not exactly a high paying industry
@@jaredjordan7935bro I’m confused how you think he’s hiding? Never once does he not at least explain his position.
Long time ago, I remember watching Jake Gyllenhaal in a movie called "Source Code". Been a fan since then.
He has ton of great other movies
Agreed.@@Stev4e897
I just saw Donnie darko for the first time. Trippy
Great commentary! Love the review bro.
Very good tips for my work outs here. Loved it
Appreciate that image change. Nice work.
This is exactly the video I needed to ask this question. Hi! I´ve been following you for over 10 years now, you are the GOAT. I would like to know your take on wrist pushups? How should I be doing them? I want to include them in my training to improve wrist strength and punch harder.
Thanks a lot Jeff this was very helpful
Bro, Jeff, your a wealth of information. These kids nowadays don’t know.
Straight encyclopedia.
THANK YOU.
Jake has always been one of my favourite actors. October Sky, Jarhead, End of Watch, and Brokeback Mountain were all great examples of his diversity. If the new Roadhouse movie sucks it won't be because of Jake's performance I can gaurantee that.
I had it on in the background yesterday while I was working. Once I started paying attention , it was awful and I had to turn it off.
Super cool vid Jeff, how a good strategy contributes towards goals is really nice to see. Cheers
Thanks Jeff, much appreciated
Jeff id love if you reviewed the ATG programs from knees over toes guy
Could ypu possibly do more videos going through daily body weight workouts?
Good point. My friend has a minor injury and there are plenty of different bars/setups that can work around it. Not working out is much worse than missing a little of the motion
Thanks, and great edit!
The only channel I don't need to watch on 1.25x. Fast speaking, to the point, no padding - nice work.
Fast speaking is not good , you should speak slow and calm, listen to presidents speak
I’m not trying to shit on what you like but just fyi the more you watch videos like that the further your attention span is damaged
I don’t know why anyone would think he’s on something. Look at him in southpaw, the covenant, end of watch, even Spider-Man, the guy has always got into great shape for active rolls!
All your videos are great but this one had several hints for shoulders with limited movement. Much needed!
Yes! Love how you are always respectful and fair to others. Thank you for all you have taught me!
This was great! Thx for keeping the science and rational thought in fitness and strength training! Yes, please - more analysis vids with context and application outside of the video would be excellent. 👍👍👍
Pretty obvious hes put allot into this, great video and critique, all of the participants in the film did an amazing job.
Great video, thanks for breaking it down more
Accurate and straightforward tysm
Been following your content and advice for years now, god bless you Jeff! - Marco Polo
Great video! Would love to hear your thoughts on Alan Richerson (Jack Reacher).
This workout looks super interesting, loved it
Love the video, Jeff
The original Road House is my favorite but great workout and video.
I didn't realize he was over 40. Dam, mad props to him and his trainer. He looks cut as hell
Hello, Jeff. Would you kindly consider uploading a video demonstrating a complete lower body stretching routine following a workout? Thks!

I really liked the caveats you provided about 1 year of work. If I was a trainer & you called to get clarification, I would happily answer that call.
Saw the Men's Health Workout and really thought, how you would react to that. Nice when wishes come true.
Beautiful breakdown, Jeff 🤌
A video on what to do about chronic neck pain please!!
Jake did a great job in the new movie. Hard work is seen and he just kills the role of Dalton
I like the was you think...you never discredit someones work ethic and methods, you explain their purposes and Open Up aboutwthe different perspectives about this type of workout 💪👍
Guys! I love you content! My husband recently had back surgery due to 2 herniated disc that burst. He has always been very athletic but we don’t know which exercises he should avoid to keep his muscle mass and prevent his back from herniating again.
Search athleanx herniated disc
These videos are awesome! Can u please do one with Alan Ritchson’s workout video on Men’s Health? His routine sounds like bs to me.😅
Hey Jeff, I love the idea of using landmine press to train in 3 dimensions
What would the dumbell and/or band version look like? I just have those two at home
I learn something every vid. Cardio at the end of the workout
He did that boxing movie southpaw,(just watched a few days ago) was pretty toned. Given his build and structure, he seems to have good genetics plus money towards dieting and proper supplements. If you have a good trainer, and can mentally connect with your muscles, is key. I’ve been doing my exercises wrong most my life due to lifting more, vs, mentally activating muscle groups and correct form
Guilty as charged. I have been sucked into Men's Health workouts claiming they got celebrities is shape but they are just a snap shot of a year's worth of training. There is no quick fix or miracle cure. That machine Jake is using must cost thousands. Cables and bands will do the exact same thing.
Most people clicked on this video because they were hoping you were going to say it was steroids so they could make excuses for not achieving their own goals 🤣
He has dubbed jointed shoulders and they pop in and out socket
I like that he started off with the fact that the transformation took a year. That makes it more realistic to be natty. The other piece I’d wish he’d say is that just like a fitness competition, that look isn’t sustainable long term. It’s a peak of year of prep. With perfect lighting and angles. Jeff cavalier is one of the few who keeps it that tight 24/7 and I’m sure he’d concede that you can’t keep it that ‘tight’ without libido and energy sacrifices. Stay strong, stay on the grind, the only competition and success metric is you.
It's definitely sustainable, all you need is consistency and discipline
I like your nuanced perspective Jeff - I can see who you are responding to on youtube when you explain the context of this workout. That individual who I won't name, likes to remove the context and pick apart the actors workouts in order to seem like he knows more than any other trainer. It's entertaining but limited. But you're explanation makes more sense and wanted to let you know I appreciate the thoughtful nuanced explanation. cheers, JC
As someone who never trained in his life I have very strong opinions regarding which type of workout is the best
Great observation on the potential shoulder issue. Likely a torn rotator cuff. Possibly a torn labrum as well. I have been working out through a torn shoulder for two yeas and can attest to how his variation of squats and bench presses Jake's doing are less straining on the shoulder because the require little to no rotation of the shoulder. Just wish my gym had the equipment Jake has access to. 😜🤪😝
Jake was looking fantastically ripped in roadhouse ❤
He’s done it before with South Paw. He’s a beast! If you haven’t seen The Roadhouse def go check it out. Great action scenes.
This workout review video was so much better than Road House movie itself.
Indeed
hey can you do a video on shoulder pain when you play guitar, what causes the pain, how to avoid it, strenght it and etc
Does the safety squat bar help with back issues? Or are dumbbells still the best option to prevent back injury
The cover about forearms in rejuvenating. This was an area that developed on me sooner than the rest as a teen into my younger adult age and folks poked fun at and discouraged me from focusing on them. Glad that i incorporated work that used them for the reason Jeff said. And Sylvester is right. They, your neck need to look good.
I actually clicked on the video because I watch all of your videos. It had nothing to do with the thumbnail😂
Great vid!
You should do one for Henry Cavill. And btw, you should continue your Mike Mentzer series.
Great video . Good job
This is probably a dumb question so apologies for the ignorance but hopefully you can make a video possibly explaining this, when weight lifting, how do you measure the amount of weight per lift? Is it better to lift heavier on certain muscles versus lighter in others?

Teacher, do you have a app that shows workout programs or how to do an exercise the way you teach is best?
Great video 👍👍👍
Very respectful, I like that!
the more work out exercises evolve, the more they look like real good ol work like lumberjacks, craftsmen, farmers work. Humans are so ridiculous. it's like a dog chasing its tail
I have shoulder issues as well. Doctors advised no overhead movements for some time. So what do I do for the shoulders? Just front raise, side laterals, back laterals and shrugs??
Hey Jeff, could you do a video review on Dana Whites new transformation video for ufc at the performance institute!
Thanks!
Any chance you’re going to create an app for your workouts?
The types of Isometrics they use have been a martial arts staple for centuries, as they build resilience and stability
