Alan Ritchson stars in Netflix's War Machine. Here's how he builds his powerful physique.
Standing 6'3" with a GI Joe body, Ritchson transforms for every action role.
His training focuses on functional strength. Compound moves and bodyweight work.
Weighted calisthenics are key. Pull-ups, dips, push-ups with extra weight.
A weighted vest boosts intensity without heavy gym gear.
He trains four to five days weekly. Balanced workouts for real-world power.
Diet matters. He eats over 4,500 calories daily to maintain size.
Real food fuels him. Eggs, chicken, steak, quinoa, sweet potatoes.
Recovery is essential. Seven to nine hours of sleep every night.
Results take time. Consistency and dedication year-round.
