About this routine

For his roles as Adonis Creed, Michael B. Jordan's workout routine required building dense muscular hypertrophy while maintaining the speed and endurance of an elite boxer. Trainer Corey Calliet structured a regimen that pairs compound weightlifting with intense boxing rounds and high-protein nutrition.

The session begins with jump rope agility work to elevate the heart rate, followed by bench presses and shoulder work. The workout then shifts into timed heavy bag intervals and bodyweight push-up circuits to build stamina in the shoulders and chest.

To finish, high-volume abdominal circuits target core stability before a post-workout recovery shake provides protein for muscle repair.

Why this routine works
