Seriously, after seeing this video, I respect GSP even more than I already did before. Such humility and honesty is not often seen in such high profile athletes.
i am 17 and i live in canada , i get beat up and bullyd . you are my faverite fighter , and i have hardly any food so i am super skinny , i cant gain weight cuz there is hardly nothing to eat . my goal in life is to meet joe rogan and have a good talk with him. i feel soo alone in this world but i know i have the potential to be somone GREAT . i understand if you dont get back to me . -keep doing what you do and do it the best you can , from mark
You could try to use your free arm and put it on the biceps or a little upper of the busy arm. You would probably be able to do it. It's just a technique and you still do it with one arm obviously.
you just won me over with this. I found myself rooting for Nick Diaz in your upcoming match I suppose because of his rough background. Like a Rocky story, You're a good guy GSP, the best ambassador the world of MMA has ever seen. Shame on me.
@Subfightr What a lot of people don't know as well, is that GSP came from a rough background as well. I think most assume he was brought up from a wealthy family because he's so polite but he got bullied as a kid and had to work 3 jobs at the same time at one point.
i think he can do it, he just doesn't know how to do it properly like how you would position your legs and your other arm. think of one-arm push ups, the leg and arm positioning are different from a regular push up, so it's the same principle with one-arm pull, it's not gonna be the same positioning as the regular pullups. extending your legs so that your body makes an L-shape or close to it just as long as it is infront of you worked for me at least.
try using 1 arm on pullup bar the other holding a lat pulldown attachment then you know how much assisting weight your using(if there next to each other)

George!!! Le vif!!! Il ya en moi une connaissance sans borne a propos du surpassement...Pour ce qui est des one arm pull ups, et bien j'en suis au one finger pull up.
J'aimerais te donner une partie de ma connaissance car tu est un frere.
Hey bro for you to do a one arm pull up you first have to do one arm negatives. also holding your body weight at differnt possitions help. once you can control the lowering motion with one arm. you should be able to do 1 one arm pull up. great job bro!
Salut GSP !! Je suis fan de ce que tu fais. Tu dis dans ton vidéo qu tu veux des conseils pour réussir à faire un one-arm pull up, c'est quelque chose d"extremement difficile en effet comme tu le dis il faut une force immense pour le faire. Pour te dire, je le fais presque a complet je monte jusqu,a ce que mon bras soit a 90 degré en partant du sol comme tu fais. Pour arrivé a cela, j'ai du m'entrainer pendant 1 mois a faire 100 pull up et chin up en moyenne par jour à 6 jours par semaine.
put a chain around your waist and pull up like a powerlifter would lift for your set work. Also get a good spotter and train negatives with very heavy weighted waist.
I could do it before I tore my rotary cuff again, and my pec at 225 weight. You can really only do it if you grab opposite hand around your wrist that's pulling for balance. It's still one arm pull up, using your other arm for balance. The stress on the joints is too much mostly in the shoulder in which he is doing it extended.. Plus you need the step up/block to take the stress from going immediateness on the joint from floor up, than standing on a block.
Gsp your the Truth!! I respect you trying on camera, where most men would have just ignored the comments. I will gladly show you how to one arm pull up. Let me know contact us. Where do you want the video at?
GSP will never able to do a one-arm pullup, it's not about lacking strength, he just doesn't have the body type for it. If you look some of the gymnasts who can do it, you'll notice they have shorter limbs and sometimes long torsos.
OAC is not just a question of strenght it's first a movement you have to see the motion as a spiral.
then you have to be able to bend your arm without flexing the biceps too hard the reason is if you flex your biceps too hard it will become big an hard and stop the range of motion of the elbow.
@seidlej Actually, GSP says he hangs out at 185 usually, never gets past 190, most guys at that level cut about 30 pounds, sometimes more, so that puts him at the small end of weight cutting.
This is how u do it gsp. 2handed chins diffrent variations with extra weight. When u can do 10 reps with 50 or more added. Do ur weight in before a fight routine u will be 10 pounds lighter. Then try the one handed pullup.
gsp works too hard on his body. it doesn't flow gracefully like anderson silva, jon jones or even cain velsquez he's gotten more stiff. his body is done stop working on it and work on technique and agression and staying in the pocket dodging
@wubs23 dissagree. much as you cannot dumbell press half the weight of your bench press. The combination off the complete body working is going to more stronger than double of that of half
i think the best way to train to do one armed pull-ups would be to go up with both hands, then let go with one and just go down slowly which works out more muscles and gets your arm used to the weight.
you have to get used to the motion. just hanging with a straight arm you can not pull yourself up unless your used to it. you have to learn to do it cheating first so you get used to the motion. hold the bar with one arm and jump up use the momentum to assist yourself with the pull up. once you get used to that try it with a slight bend in the arm.keep on doing it with a less bend. after a while you get used to the motion and will be able to do an hanging one arm pull up.
i've seen many of these GSP Fan Challenges, and while he's pretty good at them, i must say most of his strength probably is in his lower body, and not his upper. i mean, he has a ridiculously good/explosive double. great athlete!
Hey George, extend one of your arms as you are doing in the video. Let s say your right arm. Grab your right wrist with your left hand and pull your body up with your right arm. You need to apply force with your left hand, tight grip. I bet you can do ten or more. But make sure to lift your chin up that bar, otherwise it does not count as one pull up or chin up.
Fitness Challenge: Win a fight without going to decision!!! I like you Georges but seriously, it would be nice to see more often!!! ALSO, how much can you Bench Press One Rep Max???
check out Ross Enamaits stuff, he does the sickest bodyweight stuff with ease =)...if I was GSP I would even try to get some weeks of training with him!
@nic265 most athletes grew up poor and uneducated and come from tough neighborhoods ... gsp has been taking karate classes since he was a child. very different upbringings will give you different adult personalities. and there is nothing wrong with that.
@nic265 A lot of people commenting on video about a person that they don't know. Like this guy is humble, nice, sweet and all good stuff about him. Just because you watched a video of that person doing sweet stuff and talk nice and automatically you said he's a good guy.. Do you even know him personally? I believe most people are just a fan of that person that is why we said they're nice and sweet or even Humble... I guess.......
@majestytd you might be right. but ill put it this way; there are probably thousands of videos of GSP on the internet and i haven't seen them all. but of the many that i have seen, never has he conducted himself badly or interacted negatively with another person. which is a lot more than i can say for other MMA fighters, or even athletes in general. therefore i think its safe to deduce that GSP is in fact, a good and humble person. but thats just my humble opinion ;)
Lets say u do the one arm pull up with ur right hand, well use youre left hand holding ur right arm while trying to do the pull up...it works perfectly and is still legalized as a one arm pull up!!thumbs up so GSP can see this comment
thats simply amazing, although i did not expect him to be able to do it , i somewhat did expect him to do it. But it just goes to show, this guy trains endurance mainly, its not as functional for him to be able to do a one arm chin as it is to do several two handed chins.
whats cool about him is he does the challenges and even if he cant do them he'll still put it up for the fan, hes not worried about how it makes him look
GSP my friend, do weighted pull ups ( OAP) and weighted chin ups (OAC). Until you get to a 1 rep with 85% of your bodweight, then you are ready to try it. You should be able to do about a 145 pound weighted pull up to be truly able to do this, also don't forget to practice deadhangs on bar on one arm full extension for max time, hope it helps. You're the man GSP.
seriously, ask jet li... i am not 100 if its special effects, but his wushu videos, he is shown doing many one armed chin-ups... use your connections and ask him george
Well good to know he can't do one. I thought most athletes could. Now I see that ross enamait does stuff no one else can and when I feel exhausted from 2 weeks on his workouts at least i know i have company now.
this is great! it shows that he's only human too, and as he fully admits, he's not the strongest out there. but what makes him so great is his all-around ability, intensity, and humbleness to go along with it
He's very similar to Lyoto Machida. Both are very very humble karateka. Machida actually didn't start actively using weight training until the Thiago Silva fight, interestingly enough. A lot of wrestlers, judoka, and karateka are very old-fashioned; they choose to primarily train calisthenics, work their technique, and just drill a lot in sparring. Personally, that's how I choose to do it too. Bulk is overrated.
@N4RUTOOO The bicep is one of the most useless muscles for fighting. Fighters don't workout their biceps as much as other more important muscles. It doesn't really help us in the ring, maybe a slight grappling advantage is all, won't really help out a punch.
@ExarKane Well, that's not exactly true. For Judoka, Muay Thai fighters, and wrestlers who like the clinch, it's very useful in controlling the tie-up. If you can't control the head and arm, you're screwed in the clinch. It also helps in keeping the legs from sprawling when you shoot in for a double. But yeah, for guys like GSP, Machida, and Anderson who really use footwork and distance, biceps aren't an issue.
@ExarKane Spoiler Alert: Nerdiness forthcoming. The biceps can help a straight punch a bit. Its origins are at the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula and the coracoid process of the scapula. This means that one of the functions of the biceps (although a weak function) is shoulder flexion, which you definitely need to throw a punch.
If we're talking about an uppercut, the biceps is very important as it's the main forearm supinator (turns the palm upwards) when the elbow is in flexion
@ExarKane the bicep is not the only thing working with a one-arm pullup. It takes incredle grip,forearm,lat,and bicep strength. Many that can do them can also do double bodyweight pullups. So yes building more strength with the technique georges already has will help him.
Start at the top and hold yourself there with one hand as long as you can. When your arm starts to give, keep holding and let your bodyweight overcome your muscle. This eccentric contraction is what will make your arms bigger and stronger. It will take a long time though.
The lever (arm) isn't biomechanically set up to be able to do this from a straight arm start. It would be like trying to flip a telephone pole (lying on the ground) with a rope by pulling the rope parallel to the ground
@MrMeanderthal actually many can and there are many vids on youtube. Look up zef or zakaveli on youtube and check out theether's channel. There's many more
The best way I trained for it was by doing "Gibbons".
Use both hands to pull yourself up, release one hand and slowly lower yourself with the other hand, repeat on the other side. Work you way up to 5 times per side and you should probably have the strength to do at least one.
Voici comment faire des pull ups a un seul bras, here's how to do pull ups with one arm only : ecrivez One-Arm Pull-Up and Chin-Up Tutorial on youtube.
One way to strengthen it a little at first is hold the wrist you are pulling up with - with the other hand.

thats simply amazing, although i did not expect him to be able to do it , i somewhat did expect him to do it. But it just goes to show, this guy trains endurance mainly, its not as functional for him to be able to do a one arm chin as it is to do several two handed chins.

whats cool about him is he does the challenges and even if he cant do them he'll still put it up for the fan, hes not worried about how it makes him look

GSP my friend, do weighted pull ups ( OAP) and weighted chin ups (OAC). Until you get to a 1 rep with 85% of your bodweight, then you are ready to try it. You should be able to do about a 145 pound weighted pull up to be truly able to do this, also don't forget to practice deadhangs on bar on one arm full extension for max time, hope it helps. You're the man GSP.

this is great! it shows that he's only human too, and as he fully admits, he's not the strongest out there. but what makes him so great is his all-around ability, intensity, and humbleness to go along with it

He's very similar to Lyoto Machida. Both are very very humble karateka. Machida actually didn't start actively using weight training until the Thiago Silva fight, interestingly enough. A lot of wrestlers, judoka, and karateka are very old-fashioned; they choose to primarily train calisthenics, work their technique, and just drill a lot in sparring. Personally, that's how I choose to do it too. Bulk is overrated.

@N4RUTOOO The bicep is one of the most useless muscles for fighting. Fighters don't workout their biceps as much as other more important muscles. It doesn't really help us in the ring, maybe a slight grappling advantage is all, won't really help out a punch.
ExarKane 7 months ago 3
@ExarKane Well, that's not exactly true. For Judoka, Muay Thai fighters, and wrestlers who like the clinch, it's very useful in controlling the tie-up. If you can't control the head and arm, you're screwed in the clinch. It also helps in keeping the legs from sprawling when you shoot in for a double. But yeah, for guys like GSP, Machida, and Anderson who really use footwork and distance, biceps aren't an issue.
MrJonplane 7 months ago
@ExarKane Spoiler Alert: Nerdiness forthcoming. The biceps can help a straight punch a bit. Its origins are at the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula and the coracoid process of the scapula. This means that one of the functions of the biceps (although a weak function) is shoulder flexion, which you definitely need to throw a punch.
If we're talking about an uppercut, the biceps is very important as it's the main forearm supinator (turns the palm upwards) when the elbow is in flexion
bigmattypimpin 7 months ago
@ExarKane the bicep is not the only thing working with a one-arm pullup. It takes incredle grip,forearm,lat,and bicep strength. Many that can do them can also do double bodyweight pullups. So yes building more strength with the technique georges already has will help him.

if he can do a one hand pull up he will be beast in the ring!... his punch would demolish the guy face
N4RUTOOO 7 months ago
Start at the top and hold yourself there with one hand as long as you can. When your arm starts to give, keep holding and let your bodyweight overcome your muscle. This eccentric contraction is what will make your arms bigger and stronger. It will take a long time though.
The lever (arm) isn't biomechanically set up to be able to do this from a straight arm start. It would be like trying to flip a telephone pole (lying on the ground) with a rope by pulling the rope parallel to the ground

I doubt anyone could do it from 'straight arm' position no matter how strong they were.. your muscles and joints aren't designed to work that way..

The best way I trained for it was by doing "Gibbons".
Use both hands to pull yourself up, release one hand and slowly lower yourself with the other hand, repeat on the other side. Work you way up to 5 times per side and you should probably have the strength to do at least one.

I've seen like 7 respones to this video who all did a one-arm pull up.
Is this like that backflip he can never land. Either way, he's a hell of a fighter. XP
