Quick reminder : although I studied Judo for several years whilst in High School, the majority of my training more recently has looked much more like that of a Strongman than that of a Combat Athlete.
This week we're looking at the differences between these two approaches, and the type of training that's required in order to be successful in the ring.

Join us for Gymchat 172 - Combat Athletics : Getting Ready for the Fight. Fantastic.



If you're involved in any form of combat, you'll be well aware that your training differs somewhat from bodybuilders, casual gymgoers and the vast majority of other athletes.

This week we're going to discuss what these differences are, and - if you're a combat athlete - how to train in a way that's going to help you win fights; not simply look as though you should. Helping us explore this fascinating topic is none other than Grapplefit's Barry Gibson.
