Get Into Great Wrestling Shape, Physical and Mental

Endurance is what can separate a good wrestler and an awesome wrestler. Even if your opponent is stronger, faster, and more skilled, having the attitude and endurance that wrestling at the next level necessitates will allow you to beat such an opponent.

Steps

  1. Run. Wake up in the morning before school/class/when everyone wakes up, and run a distance that makes you want to throw up. Do this at a fast pace. Do push-ups and sit-ups, as well as stretch, at both the halfway point and end point. Increase distance every couple of days.
  2. Eat a protein-filled breakfast.
  3. After school, sprint repeats of {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}}, no break in between, do from 15-30 depending on your fitness level. You can always do more, but make sure you sprint all the time.
  4. Wrestle with a partner. Do the basics over and over until you can't get them wrong. Say what you're doing as you do the technique.
  5. Wrestle live from anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour using round robin with at least 2 other wrestlers. Rotate opponents after each period, after each match rotate out. Always feel free to do more according to your motivation and physical condition. Also try doing sit ups to get those "washboard abs".

Tips

  • Do not eat a big lunch before this workout, for obvious reasons.
  • Whenever you feel like quitting, tell yourself that this work out is making you a champion and imagine another man, your arch rival, doing this every day.
  • Train as hard as you can...push yourself
  • Focus on breathing between each bout/exercise.
  • Perhaps listen to some music whist working out to help you concentrate or to psych you up.
  • At any time, if you feel like you're not being challenged, or if it is too challenging, modify the workout to suit your needs. As this is a fairly flexible routine, feel free to mix/delete some of these steps. Even if you can only go 5 minutes of truly intense wrestling, do it. Build upon each day.
  • Drink lots of liquid before such a workout day, but keep water intake fairly low to reduce cramps. After the workout, feel free to splurge.

Warnings

  • Always have a good stretch and warm-up (10-25 minutes long) and control your breathing.
  • Never let your mind break.
  • If at any time you feel dizzy, sick, or have a headache, stop what you're doing and take a break.
  • If you feel faint, take a break and a drink.

Things You'll Need

  • A brave wrestling friend.
  • A wrestling mat or trampoline.
  • Mental toughness.
  • Good 8 to 10 hours of sleep.
