About this routine

Alex Hormozi strength training is built around heavy compound lifts, progressive overload, and intense focus. Having trained in powerlifting and bodybuilding for over a decade, Hormozi treats his workout session with the same rigorous tracking as his business operations.

The session opens with mobility work and feeder sets to prepare joints and the nervous system without accumulating unnecessary fatigue. The primary compound exercise is performed with heavy resistance close to muscular failure, followed by targeted accessory exercises executed with strict form.

Every set and weight is meticulously logged in a phone app or notebook. Once the final rep is complete, quick post-workout protein intake supports recovery so energy can immediately shift back to primary business tasks.

Why this routine works

  • Builds muscle mass through systematic progressive overload
  • Maximizes training efficiency in a compressed 60-minute window
  • Tracks precise physical metrics to ensure continuous strength gains
