Often I get students who ask what they should do to build strength for BJJ. The exercise shown in this video is one of my favorites for developing explosive upper body strength. One of my trainers turned me onto it. When I asked why he put it into my training program, he said it was to develop strong triceps but also because it would give me quick explosion from the positions I find myself on the mat.

After doing the floor press for 4 weeks I noticed a big difference. Again, as  I state in the video. You don’t want to rely on pure strength for BJJ. But a little strength goes a long way when it’s used properly.

So if you’re looking for a little extra power from your upper body. Give this exercise a try. It’s great!
