A Brief Quote from GSP on Training (SPOILER)

**MikeMartial** · 12:15 AM

T-Nation: Can you give T-Nation a little insight into your training techniques and methodologies?

GSP: The way I train for conditioning is to do a lot of sprints. When I lift, I do a circuit. I don't train like a powerlifter or bodybuilder. I usually do five or six exercises without a break, then take a rest.

In terms of the exercises, I do a lot of core training with medicine balls and that kind of thing, as well as weight lifting. To recover, I drink a ****bolic Drive protein shake. You know, I think of myself as an elite athlete. You don't put normal fuel in an F-1 car, so I need a world class supplement and that's what Biotest is all about

The whole interview can be found here.

I've got two of his DVDs and yeah he does circuits in them and talks about the importance of sprinting.

Sound's like he's making some money off protein shake companys by secretly advertising them in interviews.

It's no secret. Biotest is one of his sponsors.

He's sponsored by biotest as Mike already pointed out, and the interview was done by T-Nation which owns biotest.

Would be interested to see if they do a follow up article on his training. Ive seen his DVD's and would like to know if thats his actual routine or if it was just a basic one he used for the DVD.

From what I've read, biotest products are supposedly pretty good.

Funny, because I'll do a few exercises bang-bang before taking a break (lat-pulldowns, bench, dips, break, again). But my reasons were initially as a time-saver.

It's a fact, boys and girls. Do your sprints, plan a circuit training regime, and you too can kick the fuckin' shit outa short farm boys.
