Getting the most jacked he's ever been for any role with supposedly no muscle stimulus outside of push ups which would be anti-muscle building if he did to much of them[there are many guys that go into say the army and end up LOSING muscle due to cardio and calorie deficits though they do tons of BW training]. Also another support of the argument that I'm surprised Derek didn't bring up here but brings up in basically anyone elses natty or not is recovery on these mind boggling 2 times a day 6-7 days a week body transformations chicken broc and rice bullshit that all these actors do.

The best physique I’ve ever had was in my prime of boxing. I was low in body fat and absolutely shredded. My cardio was insane and my muscular insurance matched. Iv since taken a year off and focused on hypertrophy weight training and even with an optimized diet hitting my macros and training 5 days a week consistently, I look nothing like I did boxing. And when I was boxing I never touched a weight. Like someone else said in the comments, boxing gains are just different.

Awesome job brother!! I have wrote Do southpaw on alot of these vids you do.I think you hit it spot on.. I think his muscles have that anabolic look for his peak (shots) something oral last 4/6 weeks of filming probably 👍💪

Been waiting for this one......I was first to request it! Nice one bro 👍🏻😁

Tbh though if you compare his body in Southpaw to some of the best boxers in history, it's very comparable, he said himself that he began prepping by boxing. If you compare a lot of boxers there is a baseline bodybuild kind of like how a lot of pro marathon runners look physically similar to each other as far as their bodies look. Not to mention Jake Gyllenhaal is a method actor it wouldn't be illogical to say that before these scenes he decided to do a weight cut that actual fighters have to go through.

Hi there , assuming I stopped my test cycle after I got to a size I was happy with . How long till you start loosing the gains? Cheers

He's natural. having a boxing lifestyle(which includes eating) and adapting to it is a very good way on developing muscle and losing/gaining weight. Also, he is already fit and active during hir young years so it is no surprise that he can achieve something like that. Comparing it to a pro boxers physique on a specific weight class, it is very similar, so pretty much natural. He probably didnt just box, he may also had proper diet or ate a lot for the role.

You don't pack that much muscle on at that age w/o gear. I have a degree in this :)

In my experience, when I stop working out and "rebound" later on. I find it MUCH easier to pack on extra muscle quickly. Almost like newbie gains... but not quite that good

Nice vid! I would add 'if' he truly was doing only body weight exercises, as he gained weight back it would kinda replicate progressive overload. Especially if he put 20-25ish lbs on, it's a bit slow, but that probably parallels some people's return to weight lifting after they've become detrained (depending on where they started)

been waiting on this one for a while, cheers

I have to point out that Jake has superman width shoulders, even in Nightcrawler he looks to me like a big guy, and he can't seem to lose delt shape even at that weight. Also, as pointed out, he's not actually that big in Southpaw, but he does look totally shredded. I spent a good few years boxing at an amateur level, training intensely three days a week, and noticed a lot of tight muscle in only a few months. With Jake's physique, training intensity and correct diet it shouldn't be difficult to look as ripped as he does in Southpaw, drug free.

He's super lean in nightcrawler so it's possible he was dehydrating himself for these shots like how they get pumped for shots in other cases. Then like you said the muscle memory and paying for an insane trainer to keep you on track and I think it's possible. He's natty imo.

Also Hollywood uses CG to retouch actors in some scenes to make them look a certain way. Camera angle and pump as well make a big difference

I think its natural, he didn't have to lose any fat, I'm the same age as JAke, I have been running every 2 days as I gained a gut, started 2 meals intermittant fasting and have lost my gut in the last 2 months. I have been doing dips, chin ups and pull ups which helped my buceps. I have a dip and chin up bar. That has helped with my triceps. I used olymic rings thats helped my deltoids. So I do think it is achieveable as I have bulked back up. He doesn't look huge, my body type is like Jake and Ryans the running and sprinting does help. Also he maybe dehyrated for the scene he is filming and had a good workout before hand.

Ooh nice i commented awhile back wanting to see this. Nightcrawler is one of the best films...

I've always thought Hollywood trainers give celebrities something relatively mild but definitely effective, like SARMs or Anavar or Winstrol. An "athlete" compound basically. But I doubt any mainstream actor is just going to sign up for a bodybuilder cycle (500mg test, tren/deca, etc.). Maybe GH too, especially if they are older, like Hugh Jackman for example. Like you mentioned, anyone fit can look really impressive on camera. They know how to edit, get a pump before, lighting, etc. to enhance the look.

could you do a video on high school/collegiate as use? my friends are ncaa athletes and it seems like ncaa is way harder to pass than wada

Love this series keep it up.

I don't really think Jake was that skinny in Nightcrawler. His face looked gaunt sure, but he was still wide as hell. When you look at where he was at in Prince of Persia, you can definitely see how he could rebound like crazy even without gear.

Do a video of 50 Cent, and what you think he took. That'd be an interesting one.

You should do one on Matthew Mcconaughey in Reign of Fire...

This is easily achievable naturally. A good weight training program with cardio and a good diet. He's not even that big or ripped. I could lose weight then gain my muscle back quickly and I've never taken steroids in my life and I'm 45! Why does everybody accuse everyone of steroids whenever they build a good physique? By the way, if you get a good pump going before picture or filming, dehydrate yourself a bit, and good lighting and it can make a huge difference. When I'm pumped up and great lighting, I look like I'm on steroids. With bad lighting and no pump, looks like I don't workout.

His physique is most definitely attainable in 5 months with just boxing and calisthenics. Most boxer DON'T do much in terms of resistance training outside of calisthenics. Boxer routinely gain 10 lbs plus of lean mass when going up in weight classes while still doing mile and miles of roadwork, rounds and rounds of boxing and calisthenics. Ali won the gold at the 1960 Olympics at light heavy weight (178 lbs in the amateurs) and made his debut about 4 months later at heavyweight weight 192 lbs and he definitely didn't lift weights and didn't do calisthenics outside of abs.

Could you do Matt Damon in Elysium and Jason Bourne movies

All these people that claim these actors are not taking steroids are not explaining why these men are in the best shape of their life the older they get. Anybody with common sense knows that Jake Gyllenhaal Juiced up for this role!

I barely watch movies but this guy is an amazing actor, one of my favorites.

A true method actor. He een juiced up like a lot of these boxers were. 😅

It's a hundred percent possible to gain that much weight with just boxing, Mike Tyson gained all his muscle with no weight training just bodyweight and boxing training. You can't underestimate the resistance training you get just hitting the bag around I mean pushing one hundred to sometimes up to three hundred pound bags around for so many rounds is like the best circuit training you can get

I'm sure he did a little bit of resistance training 2 to 3 times a week. I believe he is natural. He's just lying to his teeth about lifting weights. Or or he's doing calisthenics. Have you seen calisthenics athletes? They look like they lift weights.

I don't think he used anything. He just gained his muscle back. You can gain a decent amount of mass from regular boxing training , pushups, pullups, med ball stuff, tire flips and pad work over 5 months especially if you were already that big before.

Business 101

I am an off and on amateur boxer and my guess is that what he is not completely honest about is his weight training. Maybe He wanted to emphasize the importance of learning boxing skills to prove his chops as an actor. You can see it in his footage there are weights there . He had to do weights. It would be nigh impossible to get that hypertrophy with pushups from a 25 pound deficit while doing extensive cardio. Go to any boxing gym and see if anyone looks like him (who doesn't do weights). If you see your Canelo Álvarez video that's what they normally look like at that weight. He just didn't mention he had a lot of weight days. Then I would believe he didn't use anything.

I think the 10 months training in 5 months quote was about training boxing

I think he did it naturally

Derek any ideas/tips on how to meet women? I am tired of not getting laid...I get quite a lot of matches on tinder and convert some of them to numbers but after that nothing happens.. and thank you for doing my video request

I don't think it's the question of "is this body achievable naturally in such period of time", that would be purely theoretical (and thus barely interesting) discussion - I think, the question is "how high are the chances that he did used steroids to ensure that his physique would be good enough". And I think the answer to the latter is "pretty high". He's an actor, his financial wellbeing depends in particular on his ability to be in good enough shape in movies which are requiring it - and to bring himself in such shape in really short amounts of time. And I don't think he - or most people, for that matter - would be taking chances. If there is a relatively (!) safe shortcut to the peak physique which can be taken, I'm pretty sure he (as well as most of the Hollywood stars) would be taking it. Also, it's not like he can tell to the wide audience "aside from hard training work, I also helped myself with some steroids"- imagine how it would look like.

"I always say that if you sleep four hours fast, that's like sleeping eight hours." - Ron Zook
