Hulk Hogan’s workout routine, as described in his book My Life Outside the Ring, was all about building serious strength and size. He trained six days a week, focusing on heavy lifting with exercises like squats, deadlifts, and curls.
Each day targeted a specific muscle group: chest, back, legs, arms, or shoulders. Along with lifting, he included cardio through wrestling drills, stretching and occasional runs to stay ring-ready.
