Kettlebell Training for Combat Athletes: the Seated Mil Press

In this video Scott Shetler, strength coach and owner of Extreme Performance Training Systems and Chris Jones, BJJ athlete, multiple time Masters Worlds and Pans champion, and owner of Nucleus Brazilian Jiu Jitsu go over one of their favorite press variations, the seated kettlebell mil press. Our goal when training grapplers and fighters is training economy, how to get the most benefit from the fewest number of exercises. While we don't have our combat athletes perform a lot of maximal effort press exercises, we do quite a bit with the repeated effort and dynamic effort method. In addition we look for ways to challenge the torso musculature and grip in a way that is beneficial to their sport as well.
If you have any specific strength and conditioning exercises you would like us to discuss or cover leave them in the comments section below and be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel for updates on future videos.
