If you’ve been wondering how strength and conditioning training factors into your MMA fighting ability, take a look at what Georges St-Pierre has to say on this subject.
In a recent interview, he claimed that he doesn’t do cardio workouts for strength and conditioning: a claim that might surprise some.
While it might seem counterintuitive, Georges St-Pierre credits his efficiency in the octagon as his key to effective fighting. MMA requires a great deal of training and efficiency, but it looks like GSP isn’t focusing on the treadmill for his secret to much needed endurance or his continued success.
What a great headline.
Of course he cares about strength training. And conditioning. He does a ton of gymnastics and spars functionally. Its a misleading headline to gain views.
