In part 1 of the show I discussed some tips to maintain your muscle and strength, as well as gain some during the wrestling period. In part two of the show I shall give you ten surefire strategies for enhancing your wrestling strength and consequently your wrestling performances. These tips apply to both offseason and inseason training.
1. Train the Posterior Chain
The posterior chain muscles are made up of the hamstrings, gluteal muscles, and lower-back. This incredibly powerful area of the body is an essential area to overall wrestling performances. By enhancing strength within this region you will see a marked improvement in speed and power within the neutral and bottom positions. Some exercises that you might want to take into account in order to function the workout plan posterior chain are goodmornings, stiff-leg deadlifts, deadlifts, barbell squats (bar low on shoulders). My two favorites are the Russian gluteham and also the inverse hyperextension - gastroc machine. They are the ultimate in functioning the posterior chain muscles.
2. Strength Train SLOW, Wrestle FAST
You want to be powerful and quick on the wrestling mat. Dont think that you ought to toss weights around when you strength train though. When wrestlers try to move a barbell quickly in their own workouts, they are using momentum to help move the weight. You must minimize momentum, and maximize the amount of muscle that gets worked by slowing down. How fast (or slow) if you move a weight when strength training? If you are raising a weight (or contracting the muscle) strive to do it in 2 seconds. When you lower the weight, do it twice as slowly. You must take about 4 seconds to lower a weight.
3. Brief Workouts
Your workouts shouldn't exceed 35 minutes in duration. If they are doing, You-re NOT WORKING HARD ENOUGH! By finishing your workout in a maximum of 35 minutes or so, your bodys hormone levels are ideal. Your capability to recuperate from the workouts, and so develop more power, is increased. Prevent long, drawnout weight training workouts. They are going to ultimately cut into your bodys capability to recuperate, and cause over-training.
4. 12 Workouts Or Less
I never fail to stick to this, while I develop sport-specific weight training routines for my athletes. This amount of exercises will permit you to really hit the wrestling muscles with just enough, but not too much. Anymore will practically guarantee that you would send your body into an overtraining syndrome.
5. 2 Sets Or Less
Continue reading this one carefully, and try to actually absorb the content. You must do-no more than two work sets (the sets that depend. These dont add a set) for any specific exercise. If you're working hard enough, that is plenty. You execute a warmup set for a workout, then go to your top weight. Lower the total weight in the bar-or machine by 20 %, after you complete that top weight and repeat. In case you are actually training intensely, you may just do one work set per workout. Here is the perfect. You will see no demand for another set, if you can hammer a muscle with a single ideal group of a workout. Because lots of people dont quite hammer that muscle with one set I advocate a second set with a 20 % weight-reduction.
6. Fail In The Gym To Dominate On The Mat
Apart from your warmup set for each strength-training workout, you must train your sets to momentary muscular breakdown. This is actually the point where you cannot complete another repeat with perfect form. By training to momentary muscular failure, you are driving the muscles to get stronger conform, and so. I'd like to explain training to failure. Training to failure is not practically taxing the muscle. It is the point where you can not push or pull another repetition no matter what. Is it safe to train this manner? Absolutely! The first couple of repetitions of a set are actually more dangerous. Once an athlete is not using slower velocity, and good form, it is normally during these first few repetitions an athlete gets injured.
7. Use Machines And Dumbbells
There is a familiar misconception amongst athletes and trainers that you must use free weights when strength training. Free weights are amazing! So are machines! Your muscles dont know the difference. The intensity is easily the most crucial thing when attempting boost your strength for wrestling. The tool which you just utilize to go there is not. I like certain exercises for certain muscles. It also depends upon injuries that a wrestler might already have. Possible work around and harm but still give the body a thorough strength workout. For those who have access to Hammer Strength machines, I highly suggest that you just contain them in your wrestling strength workout.
8. Utilize A Thick Bar
If you dont have access to a thick bar, get one. This is typically a hollow steel tube that you just place free weights in the end of. A thick bar forces you to really hang on tightly when performing exercises. It develops excellent forearm and hand power. It should be part of every serious strength-training program for wrestlers. You can-do curls, reverse curls, rows, and presses with it.
9. Maintain The Protein
If you are attempting to lower weight or go up a weight class, you'll need regular feedings of protein. Protein helps to mend and rebuild muscle tissues. It is vital to keep up protein feedings if you're attempting to reduce weight except if you dont mind getting weaker and losing muscle. Try to get at least 5 protein feedings daily. The difference lies within the carb intake. You must begin slowly dropping carbs, if you need to cut weight, but never wholly. You cant wrestle if you have no electricity. Carbs are you bodys preferred source of energy. Contact me at [email protected] if you-re considering a customized meal plan for wrestling.
10. The Trap Bar
The trap bar is another incredible piece of equipment when attempting to obtain wrestling strength. The trap bar is just a hexagonally shaped bar. It allows you to perform deadlifts with maximal stimulation of practically every muscle vital to improved wrestling performance. If youve never seen one, execute a search on the net. This is an exercise that all of my wrestling clients use. It's going to make your entire body stronger. This would be the exercise that Id choose, if I were restricted to just one exercise in order to raise the power in my own wrestlers.
