Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Elwood Dalton was a former professional UFC fighter in the Road House remake, and Jake Gyllenhaal had to go through extensive training and dieting to maintain a mixed martial artist's physique. Road House has a huge emphasis on its action pieces and fight scenes, which was shown by how much co-star Conor McGregor was paid for Road House.
In addition to his overall training routine, Gyllenhaal also had a core-specific routine that he would go through two or three times per week. His core exercises included overhead and front-rack kettlebell carries, zercher squats with a barbell, and split-stance physio ball chops with a weighted medicine ball. Those exercises helped him achieve the washboard abs he sported in Road House while also boosting his overall strength.
Importantly, Walsh noted that parts of Gyllenhaal's diet for the film were unsustainable, and he had a team of dieticians to help him remain healthy while getting lean. Gyllenhaal cut down to 5% body fat over the course of his training, which could only be maintained healthily for a short time. Part of his diet included cutting out sweets from his diet, though he consumed sugar and water before his UFC weigh-in to help his muscles swell and stand out more.
