00:00Mr Walsh is up on our leaderboard now
00:02huh well there's a way to make this more
00:05efficient when you're training for MMA
00:06shit you do MMA shit when you're
00:08training in the gym you do gym shit this
00:10is kind of that weird in between Zone
00:11it's not the best for either one I
00:13wanted to like this I really
00:20did hey folks Dr Mike here for RP
00:23strength I've been a professor of sport
00:25exercise science for a while I have a
00:27PhD in sport physiology I'm a
00:29competitive bodybuilder in Brazilian
00:30jutu Grappler and I've known to have a
00:33knack for acting yes yes I went to a
00:36Scott the video guy what's it called a
00:37thespian Academy until I was 15 but
00:40after the crash I could no longer act
00:42Google that in any case today we have a
00:45very special video where me the exercise
00:48scientist I guess I really am one of
00:49those so no quotes required is going to
00:52be reviewing Mr Jake
00:56preparation for his amazing Physique in
01:00the latest Blockbuster hit do people
01:02still say that and what exactly is a
01:03blockbuster I never could tell uh
01:06Roadhouse which is a remake of an
01:09original movie also called Roadhouse
01:12with the ever awesome Patrick sesy rip
01:14rip right Scott's video Guy R rip damn
01:18all right let's get into it folks so
01:20first off let's talk about who Jake
01:22Gyllenhaal really is I know
01:25maybe three things arguably four about
01:28him one he's is known to be an actually
01:31good actor who can act as a lot of
01:33people in Hollywood do not fall into
01:36description two I know that he has a
01:39sister named Maggie gyllenhal SC the
01:42video guy am I am I right on that not
01:45sure she looks remarkably like him by
01:48the way and the third thing I know about
01:50him is that he has these puppy dog
01:53dreamy eyes he looks so sad like he need
01:57a hug from me 240 lb hairy and veiny me
02:03boy yes I said hairy and veiny that
02:05applies to my entire body think that
02:06through even your tongue Dr Mike that's
02:09disgusting why would you say that also
02:12Dr Mike who just said that and the
02:14fourth thing that I now know he's known
02:16for is having a fucking completely RI to
02:20shit body for Roadhouse Holy
02:23balls I was not ready for the shit my
02:26wife and I just saw the movie a little
02:27bit ago and I have to admit I was under
02:30the influence of edible marijuana during
02:32the entire film it's tough to watch a
02:34movie like this sober wouldn't you agree
02:36I'm kidding folks sobriety is the best
02:38way to do everything most things let's
02:42find out what Jake Gyllenhaal did to get
02:44in shape for this rooll and the first
02:45thing we have is a written statement
02:48this is like a fucking Court proceeding
02:50by his trainer a gentleman named Jason
02:52Walsh the Pair worked together to hone
02:55Jake's body for Roadhouse for over a
02:58year according to to Walsh but that
03:01doesn't mean that it took that long to
03:03achieve the physique you'll see on
03:04screen or that Jal was that level of
03:06ripped for the whole shoot period you
03:09don't always stay Ultra ripped and lean
03:12for months and months of filming that
03:14would be possible but insanely demanding
03:16it would probably degrade his cognitive
03:17abilities in the short term and thus his
03:20acting so instead of hey get out of this
03:23bar he'd be like hey
03:27um like uh you like a hot dog or
03:30something I can eat some shit like that
03:32a lot of people will watch the shit and
03:34go oh my God Jake Gyllenhaal Google how
03:37did he get ripped and see some old
03:38bullshit about 8 weeks 12 week blah blah
03:40blah the fact that Jason Walsh his
03:42trainer is saying look this shit took a
03:44year is awesome because it's like oh
03:46yeah shit that is really impressive
03:48takes a while to do the program is split
03:50into several Progressive phases
03:52BR I like it most Hollywood trainers
03:56like the phase is we do bosu ball and
03:59then you eat a yoga block and you're
04:01ready to go this ising dope and here's
04:03the best part starting the Baseline
04:05phase to establish the conditioning a
04:07hypertrophy phase to build
04:10muscle the Angelic Harps are playing for
04:13me I love this a ton then a sport
04:16specific phase to reinforce the movement
04:17patterns he would need to do on camera
04:19and because this is a fighting movie not
04:21just carrying fake guns around and
04:23pretending to shoot the movie this it's
04:25legit Jak Gyllenhaal did some shit on
04:27camera that like if you just did
04:28hypertrophy training and you could pull
04:30your hamstring trying to do that shit
04:31but they did a sport specific phase to
04:33reinforce the movement patterns of fake
04:35fighting on camera which is is quite
04:36physical itself I really really like
04:39that Scott the video guy Mr Walsh is up
04:41on our leaderboard now huh well I said
04:45now yeah before we review the footage of
04:47the that no doubt will ensue he was the
04:50guy that did the hump exercise of Bri
04:52lson go God damn it that
04:57guy all right let's see what the what's
05:04here train like Jake Gyllenhaal okay we
05:07got some and some good stuff mixed in hi
05:09I'm Jason Walsh I'm coming to you from
05:11my studio rise movement in Los Angeles
05:12California whoa hey Scott is it just me
05:14or is there something up with his eyes
05:16like he maybe like doesn't have a soul
05:18dude they're so azour
05:21Azure when I received the news that Jay
05:23got the rooll for Roo hey okay so Jason
05:26Walsh does have the angle here but he
05:28looks pretty jacked so he might know
05:30some things by experience as well Jake
05:32jenal looks half asleep which he
05:34normally looks half asleep that's what
05:35I'm talking about the puppy dog eyes
05:37nobody looks like at you like that
05:38except for two people people Jake
05:41Gyllenhaal and your rescue pit that's it
05:45not only did Jake need Aesthetics but
05:47needed to perform stuns across from
05:49Conor McGregor one thing that is
05:51baffling is that Conor McGregor's head
05:54is roughly twice the size of Jake
05:56Gyllenhaal's head even though he's a
06:00little bit shorter when you fight Pro
06:02Fighters sometimes you realize there're
06:04as the colloquial statement goes built
06:07different you don't want to hit Conor
06:09McGregor in the face that's going to
06:11break youring hand that's scary as a
06:14professional athlete in
06:17UFC I like how the next clip they go to
06:20he's like telling the cameraman to go
06:22himself oh you fucking fuck I'm fucking
06:26I I got a tip for you don't let no one
06:30get this close Okay so I tell you real
06:33talk the fight would be over right there
06:34that's a broken nose probably a
06:36concussion and Jake Gyllenhaal would
06:38fall and get beat to death um but
06:41because he in this movie is a UFC
06:43champion maybe that was not the case I
06:44didn't had to sit down and build a
06:46program that would ultimately build the
06:48foundation of the Dalton
06:50character oh the workout finally Men's
06:53Health generally we spend a few minutes
06:55each session moving trying to get the
06:56Core Body to mature up few minutes I
06:58love that I don't have any problem with
07:00Mobility drills I do some myself they're
07:02very minimal and the few minutes is dope
07:04because if it takes longer than a few
07:06minutes you're wasting your time most
07:08Mobility is built through compound full
07:10range of motion Ultra deep stretch
07:12lifting and whatever other really
07:14intense yoga or Pilates you want to do
07:16on the side which requires its own time
07:18investment Mobility drills are cool as a
07:20great warm-up and it just takes a few
07:22minutes it's awesome it checks the
07:23warm-up box and the slight Mobility
07:24enhancement box if it's taking you
07:26longer than gee 15 or 20 minutes you're
07:29doing something wrong you're wasting a
07:31time the protus is an amazing piece of
07:34equipment used mostly by performance
07:36centers to help train athletes in every
07:37plane of motion and also to help
07:39increase power production
07:42whoa that's like the handle you get to
07:44drive theing Mech Warrior thing that
07:47you're inside in theing Matrix if you're
07:49training for that I guess it's real
07:50Sports specific um it's interesting that
07:53like it allows you to Vector Force side
07:55to side and forward kind of neat kind of
07:57neat we use it primarily for priming the
08:00nervous system proppr reception learning
08:03movement patterns and a lot for warming
08:05up joints and metabolic
08:08training uh that's all right on this
08:11overvalued but right on boxing moves
08:13help train rotational power and build
08:16core strength uh that's also correct a
08:19bad Men's Health all right isometrics
08:21are a staple here at rise Movement we
08:23use them all the time to help increase
08:25strength and stamina at different joint
08:27angles oh God isometrics are one of the
08:31worst objective ways to
08:33train I'm not entirely sure why you need
08:36to increase stamina at certain joint
08:37angles technically speaking there's an
08:40infinite number of joint angles between
08:41something like here and something like
08:43here if you train at only very specific
08:45angles with isometrics you do get that
08:46sort of specificity response if you want
08:49to be ultra strong right here it's good
08:51to train right here but if you do
08:53Dynamic work which means you have a
08:55concentric component and an Ecentric
08:57component then you get stronger and
08:59develop more General ability to have
09:01stamina through that entire range of
09:02motion and because acting for physical
09:05roles is such a diverse thing you have
09:06to basically be totally in charge of
09:08your body you guys see that
09:10athleticism you have to be totally in
09:12charge of your body and be able to
09:13master it through every conceivable way
09:15it can be moved and that means that
09:17Dynamic full range of motion often
09:20compound barbell and dumbbell and
09:21machine resistance training is really
09:23the best way to get at this uh isometric
09:25holds aren't that hard they train
09:27something oddly specific and um just
09:30don't transfer super well to athletic
09:32performance nor do they build as much
09:34muscle mass and build nearly as much
09:35strength as Dynamic training and they
09:38because they don't take you through full
09:39range motion don't um prepare your
09:41joints for that kind of pounding and let
09:43me tell you there is no avoiding hard
09:47training if you want to grow but if you
09:50want to grow the most your training
09:51needs to be hard and smart RP
09:55hypertrophy app will make sure you're
09:57progressing on track monitoring and
09:59adjusting your workout at all times so
10:02for all that work you're doing you can
10:04be sure you're getting the best
10:09results it's just better overall to do
10:11Dynamic shit because it's better for
10:13your joints makes them stronger makes
10:15them more resilient your muscles etc
10:19etc grow holds build midback strength
10:22and shoulder stability so do Dynamic
10:24rows but they also build way more muscle
10:26and way more movement competence and way
10:28more insurance that your joints will
10:29continue to be strong which this doesn't
10:31build all that much and I doubt that you
10:34at home as men Men's Health assumes are
10:37are training to build midback strength
10:39and shoulder stability do you have a
10:41problem with shoulder stability can you
10:43imagine talking to someone at the gym
10:44like hey man what's your name again he's
10:46like Kyle bro what's up Kyle what you in
10:48here for bro and he's like man just
10:50trying to work on my uh midback strength
10:53and shoulder stability like oh I see do
10:56you have like a Handler did you run away
10:57from an insane asylum that would be my
10:59next question so odd odd Flex most of
11:03the sets that we do are time sets we try
11:05to keep his work capacity up whatever
11:06the is happening here is sure shit not
11:08work capacity does Jake Gyllenhaal look
11:10to you like he's pushing as hard as he
11:12can or remotely close no it looks like
11:14well he's kind of enslaved by the
11:17Ottoman Empire and is pushing something
11:19purposelessly in no work required when
11:21the guards are just laughing at him
11:23that's what the that looks like to me
11:24and it looks like he's sandbagging too
11:26no offense I don't mean to call anyone
11:28out but sled work is really good for
11:33getting awesome at pushing and pulling a
11:35sled outside of that it has very little
11:38transfer to much of anything else
11:39something like squats and shoulder
11:41presses would do whatever job you think
11:42sleds do better than what sleds
11:45do to that end if you're going to use
11:47sled work to get better at sled pushing
11:49and pulling you got toing try which
11:52means you got to move those goddamn feet
11:53and push the shit faster or there needs
11:56to be a huge range of motion involved
11:58with your step and a lot of grunting it
12:00just it just looks like we're getting
12:02some work done which does technically
12:03build work capacity but regular cardio
12:07running on a treadmill dare I say
12:09lifting weights with short rest
12:11intervals through huge ranges of motion
12:13that builds way more work capacity and
12:15burns more calories and gets you jacked
12:17and gets joint resilience up in a way
12:20that sled work at this pace just fuing
12:22doesn't it's just like this thing that
12:25Hollywood does a lot would you like make
12:27something look cool and make it look
12:28hard without it actually doing a good
12:31job at training you the way you're
12:32supposed to be trained and it's not
12:33actually that hard it's like rif with
12:35the shit it's awful I fucking hate it
12:38godamn it we always keep the heavy
12:41primitive work did you say primitive you
12:44guys I did actually examined the
12:46anthropological record just yesterday
12:49and while we do see cave paintings
12:52people hunting gazelle we have yet to
12:55see someone do a safety
12:59all right if you like how this is going
13:01and you desperately want to see more
13:03unrated Tri XX content I don't know if
13:06you can promise that we'll definitely
13:07try and you have spare money we have a
13:10member section and if you join to be a
13:12YouTube member then you can get tons of
13:13other videos super sciencey in-depth
13:15stuff for you serious folks and extended
13:18editions of videos just like these
13:19including the extended edition of this
13:21one so give it a click and uh click away
13:23and click click click and make me money
13:25God damn it my Butlers need to buy more
13:27sports cars for me to occasionally look
13:29at while uh figuring out if I want a
13:33platinum or goldplated mustache next
13:35whether it's squats or deadlifts the
13:37variations thereof we want to keep the
13:38muscle coordination at a high squats and
13:41deadlifts require a very small amount of
13:43muscle coordination these are some of
13:44the easiest lifts you can do in the
13:45world Olympic weightlifting requires
13:47substantially more muscle coordination
13:49and you know what requires even more
13:51combat training like ostensibly they
13:52were doing to get him in shape for the
13:53scoll and get him ready to do some sort
13:55of fall combat so squats and deadlifts
13:58are really good for building size in the
14:00lower body and through the back they're
14:01really good at building overall strength
14:03but like coordination and all that shit
14:05uh movement complexity this just a very
14:07simple movement man there's like three
14:08joints involved in each one that and
14:10they it's really slow and very
14:11predictable and the same every single
14:13time um also he's not going very deep I
14:17wanted to like this I really did safety
14:20bar squats says Men's Health blast your
14:23legs without challenging shoulder
14:24Mobility that's true all right grip work
14:27is essential As It Seems to be one of
14:29the limiting factors in the gym you guys
14:31know how you can get all of the limiting
14:34factors of your grip to completely
14:37disappear and yes this is sponsored but
14:40yes I do actually believe is true vers
14:43grips is a product that is much like a
14:45strap that goes around and wraps around
14:48the bar it attaches directly to your
14:50wrist and once it wraps around the bar
14:52and you put your hand over it it is made
14:54of some kind of mystery sticky material
14:56that I think they found in a crashed
14:58alien spaceship ship in Nevada in 1946
15:01but basically your arm will rip the off
15:03off your body before that shit lets go
15:05if you use Versa grips in the gym on
15:06your pulling and shoulder exercises you
15:08will not be limited by grip and you
15:10don't have to spend a lot of your
15:11precious time training forarms unless
15:13you want jacked forarms and here's
15:15another thing you cannot get forearms
15:18strong enough to truly remove them as a
15:20limiting factor if you're developing
15:22your back and shoulders as well as you
15:24can a little while back I was doing
15:27strict lateral raises to just at
15:29parallel with 60 lb for sets of 15 60 lb
15:33in each hand there is no way iing pinch
15:35grip 60 lb that's so goddamn much and my
15:39forearms are jacked but the thing is my
15:41shoulders are more jacked your shoulders
15:42are bigger than your forearms and your
15:44back is way bigger than stronger there's
15:46nobody that can't enhance their pull-up
15:49and row and deadlift and stiff like a
15:51deadlift ability with using Versa grips
15:53there's just nobody that can say okay I
15:55don't really need the versus I just need
15:56my hands if that's the case you're back
15:59shoulders are fing weak my man if you
16:01get yourself some verses you can
16:02eliminate this entire problem also chalk
16:05eliminates most of the problem God damn
16:06it so forearm drills really drills it's
16:09just forearm training first of all I
16:11don't know why this is called a drill
16:13but it's dope or whatever it just so
16:15happens to be that that's not really the
16:17reason you would train forums you would
16:18train forums to make them bigger and
16:19stronger and juicier in their own rate
16:21but if you have a limiting factor
16:22problem Link in the description I guess
16:25because vers grips is uh is how to do
16:30here we see some examples more relatable
16:31to MMA training keeping the body in
16:33check with offset loading and movements
16:37sport offset loading this is okay to
16:42do because of the offset it's going to
16:45take you a little bit more effort to
16:48balance and that balance and adjustment
16:50effort is going to reduce how much you
16:52can push your legs and because Men's
16:55Health here says lunges build leg
16:56strength they build less of it when
16:57you're offset the way you build size and
17:00strength best is when you're very well
17:02balanced when you're off balance your
17:05body decides it's not going to activate
17:06as much of the muscle as it usually does
17:09and you don't activate as much of it and
17:10as much of it does not get stronger and
17:11as much of it does not grow so it's okay
17:14to do this but what I would prefer is
17:17that they kept the training pretty
17:18conventional in the gym compound barbell
17:21dumbbell and Machine Heavy Basics and
17:24then got uh Jake Gyllenhaal into and I
17:28know it sounds crazy an MMA gym to do
17:31MMA drills with the MMA guys couple
17:33months of that shit he's going to look
17:35real competent on camera without having
17:37to do a bunch of bagery whatever he's
17:39carrying like a Scott was that a heavy
17:41bag he's carrying Jesus Christ without
17:43doing that shit and interfering with his
17:44Weight Workout there's a way to make
17:46this more efficient when you're training
17:47for MMA shit you do MMA shit when you're
17:49training in the gym you do gym shit this
17:51is kind of that weird in between Zone
17:53it's not the best for either one it's
17:55important to keep the stimuli broad with
17:56variations of reps sets load Lo and
18:01false JK that's totally fine except the
18:04Swiss bar press is a great movement
18:07however oh and SX is a great company but
18:09a floor press definitely as Men's Health
18:12has said here limits lets you train
18:15chest heavy by limiting range of motion
18:17but while it lets you train your chest
18:19heavy thus putting more stress on your
18:20elbows and shoulders it actually trains
18:22it for less of a muscle growth benefit
18:24because the Deep stretch does a lot of
18:26muscle growth benefit that you skip out
18:28on if you do this for literally partial
18:30reps in addition if you want to get good
18:33at being sort of a combat athlete you
18:35have to be strong in every range of
18:37motion you can think of because if you
18:41put yourself into that range of motion
18:42in movement you have to be safe and
18:44strong there that is what we mean by
18:46Mobility strength through a really high
18:48degree of range of motion and if you're
18:50fighting a real person in real life they
18:52may put you into positions in which you
18:54do not want to feel uncomfortable or not
18:55super strong so for example if someone
18:58is on top of you and you always stop
19:00your Skull Crushers here and they push
19:02your hands down and they're on top of
19:04you to here you may be
19:05uncharacteristically weak here so if you
19:07do full range of motion Skull Crushers
19:08when you get here you could hit bump
19:10push them out take the top side and
19:12start hurting them in a way that's
19:14legally defensible in your context but
19:16yeah uh the floor press is aing dog shit
19:19exercise the diet part of this is really
19:23critical critical for maintaining and
19:25looking a certain way correct it's not
19:27something that's sustainable
19:29is he pushing one of my cars how the did
19:32he get that the Perry workout nutrition

20:15plugs that tells me everything I need to
20:17know about his diet thanks Men's Health
20:19we keep things in balance with push pull
20:25rips uh what do you mean balance I don't
20:28understand what that means
20:29don't worry you don't understand what it
20:31means either followed by my favorite
20:33some primitive climbing Sprints
20:35primitive climbing Sprints there's
20:37nothing primitive about climbing Sprints
20:39the Versa climber was not available in
20:43times this would be something if you got
20:46really good at would help you last
20:48through multiple rounds of real fighting
20:50and real MMA training um he's not doing
20:53that though so I'm not exactly sure why
20:56the fuck this is being done
21:03fun things I didn't like first let's end
21:09note the inclusion of a bunch of funky
21:11moves and offloaded Carries and sled
21:13pushes and pulls generally not a good
21:16use of time to get the body you want and
21:19the athletic ability that you want it's
21:21better to do more conventional lifting
21:24and um stick to working with MMA people
21:30abilities so that is what it is the
21:33usual Highwood BS reared its ugly head
21:35again but there were some good stuff I
21:37do like the intensity he brought to the
21:38training a lot of consistency brought to
21:40training and the fact that he was
21:42preparing for like a year is really
21:43really awesome which speaks to the idea
21:45that anything that's worth doing is
21:47going to take some work and then it's
21:48going to be awesome so I'm going to
21:51grade this as God damn you Hollywood out
