Amateur Bodybuilder Posts: 264 |
just wondering? I'm a former Div 1 NCAA wrestler, was alway's completely clean while competing, but now compete freestyle so I can't really say that at the time, just wondering how many of you are wrestlers, because we all know the biggest bad asses are wrestlers. ------------------ | ||

Damn right all the biggest badasses are wrestlers. I used to wrestle in college, but due to injury I no longer do. Now I am just trying to get big and get a lot of college chicks. I was never a D-I, but only D III. Never was into the whole freestyle thing though. Nice to see someone who did a mans sport on this board!!! | ||

Wrestled my whole life, D1 in college as well. Last weight I competed at was 142, now I'm at 230. Was clean all through college, but after said fuck it, time to get big. Freestyle was deffinately my favorite along with greco. ------------------ | ||

How long have you been out of college/using gear???? That is a huge weight gain!! I am assuming that your normal weight in college was 160lbs. I wrestled at 125lbs, glad I will never weigh that again. | ||

I actually didn't cut too much, I'd weigh about 165, and cut down to 157. I learned my lesson in HS, when I'd cut a consistant 15 pounds every few days, it really sucked. Now I have fun gaining weight. I'm at 195 now, and my heaviest weight was 205 last summer, although I'm going to get to 215 here within the next 5 weeks I can feel it. The interesting part for me now is going to freestyle tournaments and wrestling heavy weight, that's WIERD! I'm used to skinny guys, and now I wrestle guys weighing 270, but I still give em a roll around. ------------------ | ||

I wrestled all thru Junior high and High school, My school was ranked #14 out of about 400 schools, in the State. I got injured my Junior year and never fully recovered. Funny thing i just came back from practice I'm an assitant coach at my old high school, I'm just a charter member of the sports program, I don't get paid or anything I'm just trying to give back to my community. | ||

to answer your question I've only been out 1 1/2 years. I wrestled 3 years in college, became ineligible because I didn't have enough units, then got a job, and now am making as much money as guys I went to school with who graduated(although I do plan on continuing my education). ------------------ | ||

I wrestled threw HS but persued FB in college. Still love to roll around though. Spend a couple hours a week working submissions too. | ||
Amateur Bodybuilder Posts: 264 |
Nice, what kind of submissions? I do some jiu-jitsu, in fact I'd like to compete in the UFC or some other mixed martial arts tournament some day. I wrestled with someone who is a very sucessful UFC wrestler (although in the name of being safe, I don't want to name him, because that'll lead you to the college I wrestled at, I will tell you the School was top 5 in the nation). ------------------ | ||

I wrestled a bit, then had a few years of Judo. Now I'm into submission wrestling. I train with a bunch of Brazilian jiu-jitsu guys. Pain in the ass, jiu-jitsu is built on "size doesn't matter". When you're a 230lb wrestler with the same submission skills they have- size matters. Big guys seldom last for more then a month in most jiu-jitsu schools. Your basically walking into the academy with a big bulls eye on your chest. Every blue in the place will wipe the mat with you. For the first 6 months you'll be tapping to 140lb gloating pricks. Even once you get good enough to beat them they'll insist that it's just because your stronger (strength, size is heavily frowned upon in BJJ) No fun unless you truly love the submission game. I still do it and love it but I had to pay my dues for 3 years. Now they watch their mouths or I take a leg home with me:-) It's cool but it's a totally different attitude then wrestling. Wrestlers wrestle because they love it and it's a man's sport. BJJ types train because their little weasely guys who spent their whole life getting their ass kicked. Also kind of unfair, most of the guys I wrestle with are juiced to the gills. Got a few 280lb nightmare I sometimes roll with. The pure submission guys on the other hand think lifting weights causes cancer or something, I'm lucky if I get a 200 pounder and half my matches I end up reciting the "whoops sorry buddy" mantra. It would be cool to hook up with some submission types of a decent size but my areas not really good for that. | ||

St. Edward's, you guys are rivals with Walsh Jesuit correct?? I'm from Cali, but my senior year we wrestled against Walsh Jesuit, and those are some tough boys, actually St.Edwards is good too. Although the Walsh guy I wrestled thought he was bad til I slammed him on his head. | ||

Ive wrestled for almost 13 years till i fucked up my knees. To all you ohio bros on here...i wrestled for Midpark HS (maybe 20 minutes away from St. Ed's). Anyways, I took some lessons at St. Ed's but I never understood why everyone thought they were so good. Every year St Ed's would have a tournament and I dont ever remember them taking 1st place...although i could be wrong. hehe and wrestlers being the biggest baddasses is the damn truth! | ||

4 Years in high school with state champ for junior and senior year. Won the Sunshine college division in Ft. Lauderdale a couple times. Wrestled between 145-152 in high school and 171-198 in college for 3 years. Freestyle is by far the most fun. Although it is great to use a Karelin on someone on the mat in Greco. A good wrestler will defeat any martial artist as long as you can take a punch and/or kick. And if you can block stikes. ------------------ Great Information on Injections and Syringes | ||

Hey statechamp, I was a California State Champion. I agree only I'll say any good college wrestler will take a great martial artists any time, as long as the wrestler is aggressive. One double leg to the ground is enough to take any martial artist out of his game. Those guys can't fight on the ground. I had this argument with a Kung Fu black belt, so we met at his studio. We went no rules with fighting gloves. I made him tap out in about a minute and a half. ------------------ | ||

Hey Corleone, I think I may know who your talking about from the UFC. If it's the guy then he is one Jacked Mofo. I won't mention his name, but did he wrestle at 177 in college? I wrestled throughout high school, and was a state place winner, now I'm concentrating on getting big. I'm through with sucking 15 pounds in three days. I also agree with the fact that a wrestler has an advantage over martial artists of any type. | ||
Amateur Bodybuilder Posts: 264 |
Too Jacked, he wrestled 197, and I'll give you a hint he's not down with the Lions Den ------------------ [This message has been edited by Corleone (edited February 13, 2001).] | ||

State Champ in high school. That was a decade ago, and Rhode Island is one damn small state. I moved from Iowa when I was a freshman so competing against other New Englanders wasn't that tough. | ||

Good to see lots of wrestlers on this board, the thing about it is once you're a wrestler you alway's have the wrestling pride. I love it that the Wrestlers are representing in the UFC, hopefully I'll get a chance to represent my wrestling brethren one day in the octagon ------------------ | ||

Let us know if you make it, Corleone | ||
Amateur Bodybuilder Posts: 264 |
thanks man I'll let you know, but we'll have to keep it hush hush in email. But I will, I'm pretty determined, and I've gone against some guys who currently compete, so I know I can do it. ------------------ | ||

I am in wrestling right now. I am 18 and i used Anavar. I took third at nationals in freestyle last year. Took state this year at 152 ponds. I Think Anavar is a great choice because it makes you stronger with out gaining alot of wieght.

I wrestled in high school but hurt my knees pretty bad so I couldn't see my full potential. Now I do Braz Jui-Jitsu and SAMBO. Both are awesome but I still love wrestling and consider myself a wrestler. By the way what do you guys listen to before you wrestle? I have to listen to Sandman, Metallica...nothing pumps me up more than that song! | ||

I like some good Phish to mellow me out before a match, I like to stay calm and imagine myself winning. But every once in a while I'll go with some Rage Against The Machine, it just depends on who I'm wrestling. If I'm wrestling a technician, I go with the Rage, because you have to rough up a technician. If I'm wrestling a brawler I go with Phish because you go technique with a brawler. Wrestling is kind of like a chess match. ------------------ | ||

not down with the den eh? Could it be the "bad boy"? | ||
Amateur Bodybuilder Posts: 264 |
here's another clue. . . "Speed" ------------------ | ||
Amateur Bodybuilder Posts: 177 |
hey puretitanium- I take it u did anavar only cycles????? how were they? how long did u run em? did u use the .125 rule or go higher dosage? how hard was it to keep your weight down while still lifting hard? thanks | ||
Amateur Bodybuilder Posts: 177 |
the speed clue is over my head(so far), anyone going to KOTC Feb 24th? | ||
Amateur Bodybuilder Posts: 264 |
This person wore speed 2 (the movie) shorts, because he got sponsored by them. Here's another clue he started the company tapout ------------------ | ||
Amateur Bodybuilder Posts: 177 |
Im not sure still, some dude Charles lewis founded tapout, but other reps have been Adams and liddell, etc. am i warm? bump for an answer from puretitanium too. | ||
Amateur Bodybuilder Posts: 264 |
hmm I was misinformed, he must not have started the company if you say Charles Lewis started it, he must just rep for it. Here's another clue. . . he's friends with Tank. ------------------ | ||
Amateur Bodybuilder Posts: 115 |
It's very nice to see a lot of wrestlers on this board. I wrestled all throughout highschool, WDA champ twice, state champ at 215 once. Transferring to brown or harvard next semester to wrestle once again. Can't live without it. | ||
Amateur Bodybuilder Posts: 177 |
so my first inkling was correct right? or maybe not since I heard hes not friends w/ tank anymore. Tank actually had more than one friend!? lol | ||

I wrestled 160 and 171 171 first than cut to 160 was 2nd in state at the state meet in charlotte in 95 at 160... But surprisingly that was my first year i ever wresled so i reckon it was a natural ability.. Than persued college but another problem grades sucked so i went to community college and went to a d-1 school and played football... Speed kills but strength punishes | ||
