Preseason Conditioning for Wrestlers
Increasing your work capacity and outlasting your opponent on the mat is one of the keys to getting more pins.
You may not be the strongest wrestler, or be the most technical but never let anyone out work you.
I put together a quick conditioning session guaranteed to increase conditioning for wrestlers in the preseason.
It takes about 20 minutes and will have you sucking wind now so you won’t be this winter.
Set your Gymboss timer for 20/10 work-rest for 8 sets! Complete 4 rounds. Rest one minute between rounds.
READY? GO!
Don’t be a afraid of the deload!
I’m pretty busted up this morning.
Yesterday was then end to three hard weeks of training.
Next week will definitely be a deload week.
As I’ve talked about before, rest and recovery are just as important as your training. I’m actually feeling pretty good mentally and physically and don’t feel like I really need a deload week.
However, I have the long term, big picture in mind. I know that taking next week to deload will serve me much better, helping to reach my current training goals.
Many think that going full bore all the time with their training is the only way to reach goals and that anything less doesn’t do you any good. This couldn’t be further from the truth. If you go all out, all the time, you’ll burn yourself out and possibly regress.
My deload training won’t be “easy” but it will allow my joints to rest and be prepared for the next hard cycle.
Don’t be afraid of the deload!
