Different From the Rest – Georges St Pierre
St Pierre is pretty tight lipped about exactly how he trains. What is apparent is that he was able to get a very strong but fast technique down packed by lifting weights and getting his stamina up. Most fighters swear by the merits of a cardiovascular based mixed martial arts workout combined with supplementary strength training, but Georges works in the exact opposite way. He keeps his exercise schedule jammed packed with explosive moves and high energy activities. If St Pierre isn’t lifting the afternoon away, he’s going to be climbing a rope or practicing his take down technique.

The really incredible thing about how Georges trains is that he doesn’t do it for long. Many other athletes will devote their entire days to training for hour after hour, day in and day out. Like many things in life, St Pierre and his trainer want to milk the absolute most they can out of every workout. To do that, they know that a fighter will only be able to give it their all for so long. Not only does that make complete sense when it comes to building stamina, but it also explains why so little time is dedicated to what can become lengthy cardiovascular exercises.
