i think im gonna wrestle. i talk to the coach this morning.


im gonna need a nice plan lifting-wise and diet-wise to keep almost all my gains. i know im going to lose size and strength, i just wanna keep it all. call me greedy

I think this is a good call. Wrestling may teach a lot about your body too, which can help with lifting in the long run. Also, if you do keep lifting during the season, you will have to modify your routine and do more of a maintance program. Good Luck.

day 1

practice w/out doing endurance for over 2 years=hell

we ran for 15 minutes. the first 10 minutes was fine. the last 5 minutes was hell. i almost puked the last lap.

went in, discovered i cant finish takedowns or do anything really because my lower back is really tender and really weak.

after sweating for about half an hour, i went and got weighed in. 259 after pissing and sweating.

go back in, drill some more. i forgot damn near everything. even most of the basics.

after practice, my back hurt so bad i couldnt stand up straight. it's very tender right now, even sitting in a chair. this shit sucks. i hope it holds out the whole season. if something down in my back tears/strains/whatever again, i dont know what i'll do. i have to stay with this though

total protein intake today: 135g. i got a lot of carbs though. i have a headache and i have to lay on the floor now, hopefully to take some pressure out of there....

i will probably lose quite a bit of mass and keep some fat throughout the season. joy

He he he. . .I remember those days!!! Drills served as the foundation of training. We also ran like hell!! It was common to lose 2 to 3 pounds per practice.

To me, it doesn't sound like you are interested at all. What you went through will happen everday for the next 4 months. Remember, you are training for both tournaments and duals, so you had better be in shape. Your technical skills must be sharp! If you are out of shape and to not give 110 percent in practice. . .you will become victim of the FALL or TECH FALL. You do not want this to happen in front of a crowd in your high school gym.

I don't care what anyone says. . . .wrestling is much more difficult than bodybuilding period!! Any fool can pick up a weight move it through a motion, eat like a hog, and sleep half of the day!! Wrestling on the other hand requires mental toughness, extreme conditioning, and drive. Overall, there are far less wrestlers than bodybuilders.

You need to think about what you really want. Your coach is willing to invest time in you and train you to become a better athlete/person. If you are unwilling to put forth the effort, then you are wasting your coachs and your time.

This is my .02 cents. . . make up your mind. Good luck!

Listen to louden, after all he did pin Shute (sp?) Great movie.

 

[jeremys]

i agree with you. this is a great sport if you like doing it.

i dont want to let people down, but i have to do whats best for me. if something snaps again in my back, i cant wrestle at all OR lift OR do anything else for a long time. i cant let that happen again.

i'll gauge everything on if i can get out of bed tomorrow and/or walk. i cant be popping a bunch of aspirin and not be able to sit down every day

I guess just keep with it for a while and see if you back gets any stronger

 

[jeremys]

too late

wrestling is not for people who aren't solely dedicated to it

 

[skaman607]

so you quit

 

[jeremys]

yeah, i dont think we really started. all we did that one day was a piss test and bf% test most of the time

 

[skaman607]

too bad
