It’s like you’re photoshopped!
Name the movie!
Well, even if you didn’t get it, that’s just one of the many movies that Ryan Gosling has women going goo goo gaga over his physique.
Which is probably the reason he’s been requested by The SHJ Army numerous times!
Oh, and by the way, the answer was Crazy, Stupid, Love., with Emma Stone dishing out the compliment.
But, he’s also starred in The Notebook, Drive, Young Hercules (yes, he was Hercules), The Nice Guys, The Big Short, soon to be Blade Runner 2049, and so many others.
So, yeah, I’m pretty sure he’s earned his spot at SHJ!
Ryan Gosling Stats:
Height: 6’1
Weight: (approximate) 180 lbs.
Age: 36 years old
Ryan stands right around the average height we see at SHJ – which is also our triple Chris trio, aka Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth, and Chris Evans.
Standing taller than guys like Zac Efron, Mark Wahlberg, and Tom Holland, who stand a bit below even the average I just mentioned; and Ryan is standing shorter still than guys like Batista, The Mountain, Dwayne Johnson, and Jason Momoa.
And, these are obviously just to name a few from each height range.
Remember, though, this is not to deter anyone from utilizing the workout. It’s made for everyone and anyone.

Ryan Gosling Diet and Nutrition
There’s a lot of articles out there about Ryan Gosling’s diet and nutrition, but within those many are not a strong portion of sources including Men’s Fitness, Men’s Health and other larger magazine sites that hold interviews.
But, what I was able to find on Men’s Fitness was some information that we can either choose to take seriously, or discard…
They say about his nutrition:
Despite a raging sweet tooth, Gosling disciplined himself to bananas and protein shakes.
We know all about protein and how much we have to intake each day, and I’m pretty sure there’s also a lot of SHJ Army members who love fruit – so I’m not sure if this information is extremely helpful – but it’s still interesting.
A good quote from Gosling that they give us is:
“After a while, they’re like pets because they [his muscles] don’t do anything useful. But you have to feed them and take care of them. Otherwise, they’ll go away.”
That is very true Mr. Gosling.
Something else Men’s Fitness tells us is:
Preparing for an upcoming role as a Muay Thai kickboxer has Gosling eating a diet of fish, rice, and green vegetables.
We see a lot of celebs opt for a sustainable approach like this.
That’s why our Academy Nutrition Classes (Monks, Minimalists, SuperHumans, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Greek Gods, Samurais, & Eat Fat, Lose Fat) revolve around helping you find the specific diet that is right FOR YOU.
Of course, there are a lot of reasons to HAVE the strict guidelines.
We’ve seen a lot of celebs opt for specific restrictions.
For example: Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hopper, and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting(something I use daily as well), Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.
And, that’s just to name a few celebs from each, by the way.
You can check out our Nutrition Pillars for more information and articles on all of the above and more.

Ryan Gosling Workout Routine Research
Men’s Fitness also gave us some information about Gosling’s workout routine as well.
They state:
Gosling’s workouts stretched to two hours, four to five days per week. He focused on chest, shoulders, and core to create a consummate “player” physique.
Which makes sense, doesn’t tell us much, but definitely makes sense.
We know these celebs that we analyze are often times on a restricted timeline, which also comes into play with the fact that their routines are longer and more grueling.
Whether it’s within The Academy, or just utilizing routines from the site in general, the goal is to create sustainability. Sustainability and having fun with your training is definitely crucial, and something that will help you utilize and enjoy your fitness.
After finding that extremely vague quote from Men’s Fitness I decided to also go ahead and dig through some of the other routines that went ahead and created a routine based on Ryan Gosling.
What I found was, like myself, these articles and trainers had Gosling doing a typical bodybuilding styled routine with some additive cardio and ab work to get into his top physique.

Ryan Gosling Workout Routine
Training Volume:
5+ days per week
Explanation:
With proper nutrition Gosling’s physique can definitely be achievable with 3-4 days per week. That being said, 5+ days will definitely help speed up that process if you’re looking to take a similar approach. I’m going to program 5 days. Feel free to proceed how you feel fit.
