GSP weight training

[@RingleaderMane]

This guy's a true warrior. He's very modest and determined, you can tell he's completely in for the love of sport instead of spotlight. He doesn't have that ego that comes with the job, he totally deserves the title.

[@kratoslevit]

"the back and the abdomi..abdo...the abs...." I love GSP :')

[@JohnyBravoSix]

Thanks GSP for sharing your training with us! Will try it one day for sure! :)

[@Cottagecheeseisdope]

You know big muscles don't always mean big strength and i bet GSP doesn't wanna be like a big pile of muscle he wants to be fast agile strong durable and flexible...

[@statsme88]

GSP is the man..probably the only mma fighter i really like to watch.

[@KevoRidesFit]

thats what i love about him, so humble and passive.i believe its the way you should be.

[@poynterlove123]

an mma fighter in the gym is different then a body builder's program, a good mma program for the gym makes you insanely explosive, and strong at the core.

[@woodedwire]

GSP is such a humble person, i can´t see anyone not liking this guy! :)

[@eltiburondelcaribe]

this guy is a freaking machine! he's got the talent, the technique and the attitude to be a champ! go "rush"~

[@sdeevG]

He is such a genuine and sweet guy.

[@FitFury]

Man this is a nice circuit i will have to try this! Everybody knows GSP is a totally beast in the gym and in the octagon!

[@NWarriorLax20]

Gsp is by far a ANIMAL i have much respect for that man

[@MRphipps54]

GSP is the king of WW and he is going to continue to work up the fighter caliber list and challange champions of higher weight classes..

[@MRphipps54]

[@TemplarX2]

@Tyhumps Supersets are always hard and intense. And here he is doing it on light. You don't get freakishly athletic by spending your gym time benching or curling.

[@Thenewlit]

gsp is a chill dude

[@exterminatorium61]

Technique problems on overhead presses , not getting under the bar and not going deep enough with the dumbbells. U still rock dude.

[@Gulassarian]

I love watching this before a workout.

[@BlueBlazer89]

@balentongkalabog wrong..a superset is when you do two exercises back to back with no rest.. a circuit is when you do mulitiple exercises in a row without rest

[@813Geane]

Your right.This is how i work out. and i belive im in the best shape of my life.I CONTROLL my weight training. Monday-175 bench.And more High weight low reps workouts. Tuesday-125, Low weight, High rep, explosive, muscle endurance, and other high rep worneskouts. wednesday. High weight Low reps. Thursday. Low wieight EXPLISIVE REPS. Friday. HIGH WEIGH EXPLOSIVE. Sat-Sun sparing,Fightprep. Im 135 bantamweight and with this workout i dont sacrifice speed for strength. i gain both immensely

[@kkk666ize]

The squats with the chair are great

[@spydrplus]

I like this routine +1. I may try this out myself for a little while

[@Micat01]

nice training i beggin this right now for become a champ'S ty very much

[@reepermaple]

the way he was jumping from machine to machine, I think this was an easy day.

[@reese373]

single leg balance ball curls are craaaazy. Probably the hardest thing to do on this vid

[@MurdaMoog]

Very nice Workout !!! Respect to George St. Pierre for those calisthenics,very nice.Specially with the ball,I will try this one !!!

[@Spider85Silva]

"This next part is more for the back and the abda ??? the HABS" haha

[@srvfan04]

all in one session, its a realllly good workout if you dont take long breaks

[@swissssshy]

@jpcowboy He's using a chair because he's doing a box squat which is a variation of a squat which utilizes the Quads, as opposed to an atg squat which uses the Hamstrings too. Learn what an exercise is before criticizing someone else.

[@IanSandersSchneider]

if you work as fast as he does (no break between each of the workouts) then this is a very beneficial workout cardiowise, but then again... if you do anything for about an hour strait its a good workout...

[@MMAUpdater]

@AdrianEPT915 GSP was aware the cameraman was not going to spot. He only wanted the camera guy to film him. GSP only used what would be a light weight for himself anyways.

[@submissions72]

love this guy!

[@DC180]

Yeah.. he's a true Elite... A lot of tech... he's on a great mind set.

[@aznchops]

just imagine how hard his training is now with all the olympic lifting hes doing

[@SeanFarley25]

@xDarkside101x yeah your right in a way. when your going heavy and low reps for sets. it applys for all workouts. to tone and define more reps less weight. visa versa.

[@medalxx12]

Awesome. amazing form with everything

[@tmark618]

this would be such a sick fight... totally crazy style match up

[@eksmanm16]

@chwdsTRUE if you mean the one wer he uses the chair its called the sit up squat it is better for training power and uses the quads much more than a normal squat so it probably is better for mma but im sure gsp does evey type of squat to get variety into his training program and to train his muscles in different ways. if you mean the jumping dumbell squat this also trains power hope this helped

[@OnyxTheBold]

gsp is simply THE best

[@samanmm]

@Highway420Music what you are saying is right, but you also have to remember that MMA training takes A LOT out of a person, it's not like you can do 4 hours of bjj, muay thai, wrestling a day and then go to the gym and max out on your lifts. from my experience it's very hard to train 5 times a week and then go to the gym and actually do heavy lifting more than once or twice. granted I'm not even an amateur fighter or anything close to that. plus you have to cut 20-30 lbs and then build it up

[@DozaDMN]

@WoWDeathwolf i would say it purely a momentum thing, the last three been done with the same bar no weight adjustment so perfect for super setting but generally i agree with you ez bar would be much better, but i understand in this circumstance why he uses what he does

[@Ozchuck]

@MuzicVids give the exercise a try and you'll feel the burn in your chest ;)

[@amagad1989]

@SirFightsalot yep you can have smaller more dense muscles as opposed to larger less dense - water muscle

[@GSPxRUSH]

très beau travail sur le son est bon pour moi et il semble que cela va marcher soo ima commencer à utiliser ces sorties

[@YangSword9x]

@uros150 Force = Mass times Acceleration. Any added mass, if tranfered correctly into the punch, will have more force.

[@chavamma]

@jamesykt69 Ju-Te Ryu is an eclectic system incorporating elements and techniques derived from Judo/Jujutsu,Taekwon-Do, military combative systems, police defensive tactics, Aikido, Karate, Kali(Filipino stick fighting) &Muay Thai. It is designed solely for self-defense purposes. It focuses on all fighting ranges, striking, trapping / throwing, and grappling.

[@sk8forlife90]

@unshutoptic1 were talking about weights, not athletes. lifting weights in itself is not conditioning. playing tennis or hockey or tossing humans around is not lifting weights.

[@cloud4527]

nice workout, i do the whole routine with my friend and a lil bit heavier weight. id like to see this same video when he has a spot and workout partner.

[@jaycosta7]

Jake Shields vs St Pierre is THE FIGHT.

[@TheGuy123321]

this music is so catchy

[@the3bigreddevils]

@pacholito24 If you don't think his standup has improved after 3 years of training ,thats kind of hard to justify,anyway of course their is better strikers in the division techincally, but he is becoming a well rounded fighter day by day. A nice arm-triangle on a tired carwin, but lesnar was just as tired and landed a nice shot early in the round. Even Couture gave his stand-up credit, more so to the reach his lunchboxes has but god damn. And I loved the way he dominated Mir in the rematch.

[@wyz1]

jake shields is going to learn a few things from st. pierre. this dudes the real

[@1080famous]

@Frode2oo9 its his weight class, hes a very powerful and skilled fighter and he is comfortable with his weight

[@nrjelley]

I've seen other videos of GSp weight training, and trust me, he lifts way heavier than that!

[@Krnmustang11]

GSP probably has the best take downs in the ufc...his timing is god like...

[@dazzmcdoogle]

lol fast uncontrolled movements , good job (y)

[@ItzCashew]

@jb11379 Honestly id say this is safe to do a 3 day a week. ex: mon, wed, fri. Do these for about 6 weeks then go to a split body for 4 weeks then go back to this for another 6 weeks. You dont want to keep doing it because you'll hit a plateau, varying it up would help you gain more.

[@oluwakamau]

he has a big neck.... sign of someone who can be really strong.

[@the3bigreddevils]

@pacholito24 Its not is brute strength that ended the takedown with Mir and herring, its his explosive speed in his shot. Of course Mir knew he was going to try and shoot in for a takedown, Mir trained for a year trying to defend that, but what happened is the inevitable. Once he reaches you with his lightning speed and grabs ahold of you its a rap, He's the fastest heavyweight around in and out of his shots. His cardio for his size is amazing. He just keeps pushing and pushing and pushing

[@poolboyinla]

what is this video from?

[@RJ8812]

you always got to work the "harms" and "habs" hhehehehhe

[@greatsagebless]

multiplied by 3 this is a good day in the gym

[@Ezol1]

Haha the music cracks me up...

[@dyckmanhustla05]

When you put your feet on the bench its so that you wont use your lower back and that way youll use more of your chest to push the bar.

[@azdevildawg]

Thanks for sharing, I like it.

[@GianniVitucci]

George is the man but everyone else should be careful in doing squats the way GSP did as he sat/rolled on that bench. With heavier (or not even much heavier) weight that is a very dangerous move on the back. Good Luck in your next match GSP!

[@NeoOsiris19]

Weight complexes, insane muscle endurance and strength for a fighter.

[@GSPfan10]

This is an old video of George and he has admitted he used to train 100% wrong when he was young. Now he is with Jon Chaimberg and he is doing conditioning the right way. Check out his videos with Jon on youtube.

[@Haseeebo]

as he mentioned before, he's going the lighter weights for instructional purposes. Im damn sure he does higher weights. And don't forget their training methods often change from fight to fight.

[@Ryan_Gutz]

that is awesome! where did you get his numbers? p.s. who cares what anyone says about the weight he's doing in this vid. clearly he's shown in competition he has tremendous strength.

[@MrGarky]

@nikolatesla08 Depends how much weight you're using. If you're struggling to push out 10 reps, the 3rd and 4th exercises(in a circuit/superset format) are killer.

[@BlessTha40oz]

@Skwemo its a endurance workout so no break in between working out til new body is being work

[@samw4488]

4:58 "and.. the abdomi...th.. the habs"

[@theboywithwings]

from what i have read on sherdog and mmaweekly he is one of the biggest 170's out there besides anthony johnson and thiago alves hes the biggest.both of those guys cut 50 pounds to make 170 so id say GSP cuts about 30,but thats just a guesse based of what i have read

[@dont_trust_any1_even_ur_waifu]

Is the exercise right after he does the seated squats, the exercise where he steps back and it is sort've like a backwards lunge. Is that exercise more for balance than anything? I would like to know because i wrestle and it seems like balance is an issue for me.

[@fuckabledude]

this guy is fenomenal

[@the3bigreddevils]

@the3bigreddevils I've never seen anyone do that much damage in a guard before, he just pulled a takedown into mirs guard and turned to his side which is brilliant, and pounded away with one hand till frank couldn't handle it. I'm no lesnar nut-hugger but I deffinitly respect the level of skill he has and ofcourse i wanted Mir and Carwin to win. Every fighter fights to his strength and MMA has shown that brutes never done well vsing top notch fighters but Lesnar can keep away from his weaknesses

[@sclaysdharma]

I just trying to figure out the rime or reason to his workout. Who is programing this stuff for him? Oh well, its obviously working for him.

[@aftercarecarez]

so im curious what a training schem for a mma fighter would look like then?? ..i know u MUST include more stength work than you would in a boxers workout becasue of the grappling but how would a normal weekly routine span out?? u seem to kno what yor talking about n im lokking for good info

[@DarkTakoshi]

@GuardianAngel5150 Even GSP at his current size is still horribly smaller when compared to Anderson Silva. St. Pierre reportedly now walks around at 200 lbs. at 5'11", while Silva still walks at whopping 6'2" ~220 lbs. Sure they could meet at 185 (maybe even a catch weight), but Anderson is still much larger (a whole honest class) than St. Pierre.

[@Shoot2KillU]

i got my picture taken with GSP when he was in Chicago :)))) haha hes a bad ass

[@balentongkalabog]

yeah! mma.. always doing a super set to maximize there time in the gym..

[@kingpitcher2]

gsp is a pro literally if i could have gps or his trainer I would be so happy

[@undeadpresident]

GSP is a model athlete.

[@ScruffyBueno]

box/chair squats help build power, I don't know many bodybuilders who use that for their workouts. Athletes is another story.

[@jaythatdude]

your are right thats why he sits all the way down

[@Cloudfencer]

And you do this in one day? Or just 3 sets of one exercise a day? This looks fun :D

[@vbouverat]

@roger128917 The most important thing would be hand wrapping. Don't do bag work without proper hand wrapping. There are tons of tutorial videos on how to wrap hands. Then for the gloves, take whatever you want. I use heavy boxing gloves to help increase my speed.

[@Rsvideohub]

these workouts aren't ment to make him faster, its to make him stronger. He has several other training techniques for other aspects of mma.

[@YoungSalvi503]

a champions workout

[@MoosieCoverz]

@h0lystrike during the bulking stage of lifting you can go heavy ALL THE TIME. you just have to hit each muscle group only once per week. with a full week's rest you will be able to go heavy.

[@Candymand07]

@chavamma there's no need to be rude. you're right though he just got his black belt from renzo. i wasnt trying to be disrespectful btw.

[@Sliva28]

when was this filmed? He looks so young here

[@the3bigreddevils]

@kevin13021 It's interesting you brought up explosive strength because that is spot-on. From UFC1 you were either jacked or technically skilled. Now MMA revolves around explosive strength and cardio. Hence why fighters get outclassed ex; coleman ( hes old though ) Rampage , Sherk etc etc.. I cant say Lesnar because his Explosiveness might be the best in the bizzz and his technical skill is getting better and better every day in terms of boxing and submission Defense. His wrestling is first class

[@Blakebassist]

hey this is at my old gym!!! bmore ground control

[@GentleImpactMedia]

one arm rows it works your back and rear delts

[@balentongkalabog]

@BlueBlazer89 it can be called superset or circuit training..

[@kolargol]

THE GENTLEMAN FIGHTER

[@TemplarX2]

Certainly not. Push ups and pull ups are closed-chain. They are great but different exercises. Pull ups is probably best for back development. I incorporate all in my work out to target same muscles differently.

[@MrCharlestonbattery]

@thamoslil i think kos could make it a really hard fight, but gsp just seems like an all around beast. like have you seen tuf? his coaches are fukin amazing
