In this paper, the ultimate bound set and globally exponentially attractive set of a generalized Lorenz system are studied according to Lyapunov stability theory and optimization theory. The method of constructing Lyapunov-like functions applied to the former Lorenz-type systems (see, e.g. Lorenz system, Rossler system, Chua system) isn't applicable to this generalized Lorenz system. We overcome this difficulty by adding a cross term to the Lyapunov-like functions that used for the Lorenz system to study this generalized Lorenz system. The authors in [D. Li, J. Lu, X. Wu, G. Chen, Estimating the ultimate bound and positively invariant set for the Lorenz system and a unified chaotic system, Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications 323 (2006) 844-853] obtained the ultimate bound set of this generalized Lorenz system but only for some cases with $0 ≤ α < \frac{1}{{29}}.$ The ultimate bound set and globally exponential attractive set of this generalized Lorenz system are still unknown for $\alpha \notin \left[ {0, \frac{1}{{29}}} \right).$ Comparing with the best results in the current literature [D. Li, J. Lu, X. Wu, G. Chen, Estimating the ultimate bound and positively invariant set for the Lorenz system and a unified chaotic system, Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications 323 (2006) 844-853], our new results fill up the gap of the estimate for the case of $\frac{1}{{29}} ≤ α < \frac{{14}}{{173}}.$ Furthermore, the estimation derived here contains the results given in [D. Li, J. Lu, X. Wu, G. Chen, Estimating the ultimate bound and positively invariant set for the Lorenz system and a unified chaotic system, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 323 (2006) 844-853] as special case for the case of $0 ≤ α < \frac{1}{{29}}.$
