Wrestling Training


    Wrestlers are a different breed. They are unlike any other type of athlete. Their sport requires both unwaivering physical and mental strength and endurance. Wrestlers also don't leave anything on the table, exhausting all options to achieve their goals no matter the obstacles presented before them. Whether they are going through social, physical, or emotional problems, wrestlers possess a mental drive and focus which overwhelms the body's desire to give up.

    When it comes to training for wrestling, many recognize the importance of strength training year around. While their aim is right, many incorrectly go about this. They fail to train the most important traits a wrestler needs, or any combat athlete for that matter. Those elements include strength endurance, power endurance, grip strength, relative strength, core training, neck strength, stability, mobility, flexibility, and proper energy system development (conditioning), along with absolute strength and power.

    Below are some videos of two of my wrestlers attacking two "circuits" which develop many of the traits listed above.
