In recent months Georges St-Pierre has been pushing himself to accomplish a one-arm pull up. Up until September he had been training to succeed at the feat. Unfortunately for the former UFC champ his first attempt was unsuccessful.

I had given myself an ultimatum until September to succeed in a one Arm Pull Up and I failed. I will analyze what I did wrong in my progress to not reach my goal and continue to work hard. I will not give up and give myself until the end of the year to get it.

One Arm Pull Up Training

Despite the setback Georges St-Pierre isn’t deterred. He is still planning on accomplishing the one arm pull up and he plans on doing so by the end of the year. Before that day, St-Pierre decided to show his fans and followers the kind of training he undergoes to prepare himself for the challenge.

“Alright guys, the challenge of the week. You know I’m working on doing a one-armed pullup and one of the basic exercises to do before being able to do a one-armed pullup is a dead hang for 30 seconds without letting yourself rotate. You have to always face the same direction.”
