GSP Strength training

[dfoster]

Brief demo of GSP's strength workout. I thought that was pretty good that they couple a strength exercise with a plyometrics exercise. GSP is even stronger and more explosive than I thought. They also have Denis Kang and David Loiseau in the last half of the video.

Yeah, he does them effortlessly. Very light on his feet. He's like a friggin kangaroo.

Uh, he did Pullups with 90lbs.

Seems pretty obvious that the session was focusing on power to me. Plyometrics and complex training.

 

[Yanoush]

Dude where are the bicep curls?

Upto a certain level strength training helps your power, but an elite level athlete like GSP is not going to train using a beginner routine that can be found in the FAQ.

Compound lifts are used but working for strength and power use different methods, ie power = lower weight that you attempt to lift at high speed. Max strength = slower lifts and more weight

They do man, it's all about how they use them. If you do a "compound lift" for 100 reps you're not gonna build strength or power, yet you're still doing a "compound lift."

Tonight was chins night so I was thinking about how I could mimic that med ball slam without forking out fifty quid on a med ball. Found an old car tyre in the garage, picked it up by the rim, and started whacking the ground with it. worked a charm. Better grip work too.

You could use a rock.

100 pound weight chin ups looks hard wow

Jesus, you weren't kidding about those hurdles.
