From the Goonies to starring as Thanos AND Cable…
I’d say Josh Brolin is doing a pretty kickass job in the realm of superhero badassery.
Here’s one of the first pics of Brolin workout out and getting ready to portray Cable (of what he’s shared with us on Instagram).
He writes: “Cable’s coming, growing from the inside. Clean building from a past of donut travel to the present hard case that he is. No sugar. No bread. No pastas. The machine is being built. I’m pissed off.”
Which he hashtags with possibly my favorite part: “#ryanreynoldsismybitch”

Talk about getting right into the knowledge bomb of a workout routine.
Don’t worry, we’ll hear back from Ryan Reynolds.
Josh Brolin Stats:
Height: 5’10
Weight: (approximate) 175 lbs.
Age: 49 years old
Wo!
He’s just about there with our studs at the 50 mark. We know Jason Statham, Hugh Jackman, Terry Crews and Daniel Craig are right there with him about to hit the mark – and studs like Brad Pitt and Wesley Snipes already made the plunge!
He’s also right around the same height as Statham, Pitt, Stephen Amell, Tyler Hoechlin and Matt Damon – standing above Mark Wahlberg, Zac Efron, Kit Harington and Tom Holland – and well below Batista, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Momoa and Ben Affleck.
And then we built The SHJ Legacy Program to help you achieve it!

By the way – this is Ryan Reynolds response to Brolin’s Instagram post! 😛
Josh Brolin Diet and Nutrition
Right in the first Instagram post from Brolin he gives us a ton of information about his diet.
He states:
Clean building from a past of donut travel to the present hard case that he is. No sugar. No bread. No pastas.
Can someone say keto?
We also know the paleo diet is also inherently low carb, and does not allow for much sugar, bread and pasta. Frank Grillo is one stud (another supervillain) we recently saw utilize it.
But, intermittent fasting and cyclical ketosis can also be good components of this to add. Including intermittent keto fasting, which can be done with our SuperHuman Fuel as well.
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.

Josh Brolin Workout Routine Research
From what Josh Brolin has also posted to his Instagram we can get a pretty good idea of the type of workout he is utilizing.
He’s going to Gold Gyms out in California, and taking his training extremely seriously.
Here’s two more posts from Brolin that we can utilize in the formation of his workout routine:
So, we’ll definitely be using drop-sets.
Those are definitely fun for us.
We can even call them blow-out sets!
