INTRODUCTION
By opening The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Wrestling, you have taken your first step towards achieving your athletic potential. This book is loaded with the most up-to-date sports weight-training information and features a year-round wrestling-specific weight training program. Upon completion of the text, you will know how to properly, safely, and effectively perform over 80 exercises and you will be ready to begin your training.
Wrestlers today train with weights much more frequently than wrestlers of previous generations. Because of this, wrestlers are stronger and quicker on average than they have ever been in the history of the sport. Undisciplined weight training, however, will not help wrestlers on the mats. Improper training can cause wrestlers to become too bulky and stiff to remain quick and effective. Wrestling-specific weight-training is the only way to get the results you are looking for, and this book provides you with exactly that.
The true importance of this book lies in the wrestling-specific programs found later in this section. They were created for one reason and one reason only; to improve your wrestling potential. They do this by increasing your strength, explosion, power, endurance, and flexibility in the parts of your body that are most important for wrestling. Each program has been synergistically created to supply you with the advantage you will need to beat out your teammates and to outperform your opponents. By following the programs, you will build your muscles with size and strength as well as explosion, power, and agility. When the season begins, you will be physically prepared and mentally ready to compete at the highest of your potential.
OFF-SEASON TRAINING
The off-season is the time in any sport to build up your muscles, become stronger, and more powerful. The off-season program consists of four different four- week routines cycled together to build both absolute strength and explosive power. The first and third routines are designed for you to put on size and strength while the second and fourth programs are designed for power and explosion.
Variation is one of the keys to a great workout program. The most important reason to vary your routines is so you can continue making progress and gains. Your body will eventually adapt to any routine it’s on, so it is very important to change routines once your gains have stopped and your strength has peaked. Four weeks is the most effective time period to follow any one routine. For more information on the importance of variation to weight training see The Declaration of Variation on page 102.
It cannot be stressed enough that during the off-season, you must supplement your weight-training activities with some sort of wrestling-specific activities to keep your body in proper shape. You must continue to practice your skills throughout the off- season to help keep your body loose and ready to for the next season.
STRENGTH TRAINING
The stronger the vital areas of your body are, the better off you will be. Although some muscles are more important than others, every muscle in your body needs to be well trained.
Compound Exercises: Each program contains many compound exercises, that is, an exercise (such as squats, bench presses, and lat pull downs) that trains two or more muscle groups. Most exercise and strength-training experts agree that compound exercises are the most effi cient exercises for building strength and size.
Great form: For the best results, use great form while training. Take at least two seconds on the eccentric (negative) phase of the lift and at least one second on the concentric (positive) phase of the lift. This slow, rhythmic movement builds your muscles up bigger and stronger than any other type of lifting.
Pyramid Method: Several exercises in the strength-building routines are structured in a pyramid method of sets and reps, which is another strength-building tactic designed to maximize your efforts in the gym. When using the pyramid method, you decrease the reps and increase the load with every set.
