My name is Scott Shetler and I am the owner of Extreme Performance Training Systems, a sport performance and fitness training center in Atlanta, GA.
I have worked in the fitness, health, and strength and conditioning industry for over 22 years. I train athletes of all levels of competition from many sports as well as health and fitness enthusiasts. Through this RU-vid channel I hope to share the experience I've gained from over two decades, and nearly 50,000 hours, of helping individuals accomplish their health, fitness, and sport performance goals.
In addition to training my clients and athletes, I have self-published numerous books on fitness and strength training including a book I co-authored with Stic, of the hip hop duo Dead Prez, where we worked together to accomplish his goal of building 20lbs of muscle on a plant-based diet.
I have competed in powerlifting and kettlebell sport, and am a student of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and student/teacher of Taijiquan.
I'm new to this, but I think actually wearing the gi while working out would help. Anyone whose ever been to a fire academy will tell you there's a world of difference when putting out with turnout gear on vs T shirt and gym shorts.
Looked up figure 8 indian clubs and you came up , and that's all I needed to see you took your time to explain it right to T , And a million thank you .
Also, in case you haven't seen this, here a podcast I did on Stic's show about our work together: podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9yYmdmaXRjbHViLmxpYnN5bi5jb20vcnNz/episode/MDc5ZmRlMDVkMGU3NDY5ZTlmMjlkNTI0NTc3YzlkNWY?ep=14
21.00 comfort zones: hey stic, how has the martial arts, discipline and struggles overcoming poverty, yet in the last twenty plus year journey towards socially and systematic oppression, without dwelling on the past, how do you feel about the macro/global injustices still today? Do you fear they have become unstoppable and taking the Elon musk POV of “it’s too late...” stance. I say this because many of the youth and middle age today are at this point... how can we still overcome in a time of our unique place in spatial time and cosmic time. The industrial Revolution was inexplicably the most important time of mankind until now. We are moving from Information Age to. Augmented AI age
Great idea, but it is way overpriced. The price of clubs has fallen now - you can get a whole set for around $35 each club and still spend less than this Adex costs ($260). They need to sort out their price point. But I guess they don't have any competition.
Thanks brother, I always appreciate your support! Hope you and your family are all doing well and hope to catch up with you in the gym once all this is over!
dope shit. i've been training my son this way before reading this and its right on with the results ive been seeing with him. i thought i was onto something new 🧐
Well what do you know! Was looking for a video of these for a client and as luck would have it, my boy Shetler has delivered the glute goods. Thanks homie!!
Great question, it's tough to say because everyone is different and the limiting factor on this may be torso strength. To use myself as an example I can easily press 24kg bells for reps standing up but generally use the 16kg bells for this drill for a similar number of reps.
Hi Scott, do you recommend a time of day for this type of training? After jits, before? Does it matter? Also are those misfit grappling shorts for sale?
Hi Eric, great question! The short answer is do it whenever you are most likely to be able to stay consistent with it. That being said we do our lifting immediately following jiu jitsu class. Over the years some of my athletes like to do their strength and conditioning right before BJJ training so they are in a fatigued state and have to emphasize their technical game. If you are trying to make serious improvements in strength I would try to separate the two so you can train both when you're recovered, or if you don't train martial arts every day you could do strength work on non-BJJ days. There are many ways to slice it up, but like I said, consistency is the most important thing as is making sure your physical preparation is enhancing your martial arts and not taking away from it. Shoot me an email at scott@eptsgym.com and I'll get you the details on the shorts. Thanks!
My personal goals are greater grip strength, stronger core, more yoga, and sprinting as well as strength with kettlebells....martial arts is a whole other story.
@@decathlete2000 unfortunately I don't. I got this book recommendation from Louie Simmons. I'll check the book tomorrow and see if there is a website, but I Google searched and couldn't find anything for him.
@@decathlete2000 We have had many conversations over the years on his forum (www.tapatalk.com/groups/bearpowered/bearpowered-training-f4/). Barry used to post a lot, but has not been available for a while now. As I was one of most active members in all of those conversations, I can do my best to answer any questions that you have. Ken Jakalski was his partner in the development of the ASR speed program, so he is a great resource if you're looking to get more insight.
At EveryMeal yes when the club is extended the grip loosens and I usually point my pointer finger down the club handle. When the club is perpendicular to the forearm the grip is closed and tighter. Thanks!
Awesome video Brother. Lots of good information. I've been doing rack pulls incorrectly for years. I never really though about performing the rack pull to match the position your body would be in during that portion of the actual deadlift.
Douglas Tice yeah, it makes it a lot fucking harder. I remember reading something by Frank Zane a long time ago where he said rack deadlifts were a lower back exercise, not a leg exercise!
