Hah, no such thing as a silly question. I actually have thought of having a pre-match supplement, haha. I'll look into that.

I have a match tomorrow, Thursday, Friday, and three on Saturday. Going to be a veryy busy week. The good thing is no practice! Haha.

[mr_bhana]

Good luck with the matches, you look lie your doing well in the wrestling!

[aznsyndicate609]

Yeah I'm doing pretty decent!
Today I didn't make weight. At first I was upset. Until I found out who I would've gone up against. A girl. Haha. So glad I didn't make weight. So our other JV guy had to go against her, it was pretty funny but she was tough, mad respect for that.
Anyway, got a match tomorrow, should be a win for me, we'll see.

Also, I found out our school's weight room is opened in the early morning, I'm thinking of working out in the mornings now. Only problems is 1. I have a hard time waking up early, 2. I can't afford to be sore on match day. I really want to get back into lifting soon, though.

How many wrestlers are on your varsity team?

If she was hot, you would have had fun wrestling

You could always train with lighter intensity and lower volume to make you suffer less pain. Youll get used to the DOMs and you wont be as sore doing the same WO as you progress

Uhm, leme think, I think 15. But sometimes our jv guys do some varsity matches, like sometimes they'll put me in for varsity.

Lol, she wasn't hot. I didn't even know she was a girl until someone mentioned it to me, haha.
Good idea with that, I could try that.

2 matches today. Lost one, won one. Man, I vsed this black kid, he was pretty strong and hella fast. My problem is my mind though. It takes over when I'm wrestling and sometimes I lose confidence and get intimidated and such and I get too nervous when I take a shot. If I just have the right mindset, I could do a lot better. I have a great single leg and double leg with my speed and explosiveness.

Try intimidating each of your opponents before the match, maybe it'll give you an extra edge.

I really haven't been to too many wrestling matches, so I wanna know is there a lot of smack-talk that goes on around there?

Hah, yeah on the varsity level, some people talk a lot of smack, even the coaches do.
And yeah, I try to intimidate them sometimes with my muscles, haha.
Match today, won it, easy pin.
Had a pretty good work out today. Random **** but pretty good. This is all I can remember.

Full power cleans
95x5
135x5
175x3
185x1
195x1
205xmiss
135x5

I can't do a good technique snatch anymore since I haven't been doing them lately so I did overhead squats with the bar and did some snatches with just the bar to get my technique down again.

Seated dumbbell curls 1 set of 6 reps with 40 lb dbs.
Concentration curls 1 set of 6 reps with 30 lb db.
Bench press 135 x 10
Neck machine, don't remember how many sets, probably like 6 for 10 reps each.
Back bridges on my head, held them for some amount of seconds. Started doing it with weights and went up to 35 lb. Everyone was looking at me like I was crazy and they were all like wtf are you doing? haha. But back bridges are great exercises for your neck and lower back. Research a little on the exercise and you'll learn it's good for your neck and won't harm you. It's probably the best exercise to strengthen your neck.

Then I did some shrugs on the chest press machine. Went up to 270 lb for 10 reps. 6 sets around there.
Then I did this exercise where it's sort of like a seated cable row except it's with a rope and on a high pulley and you're almost lying on your back. Did 97.5 lb for 8-10 reps, 3 sets.

There was more exercises like front squats and jerks and such which went along with some of the power clean sets.

[mr_bhana]

Neck training is really important for wrestling. In the powercleans, do you do a front Squat too? Ive perfected my technique now, it takes lots of time to perfect the technique. Snatches are even harder

[aznsyndicate609]

Yeah, I do the full power clean and squat. It was pretty easy for me to get it down once I learned what you have to do. Snatch on the other hand, still got to keep working to get my technique back again. It's an awesome move to show off to people, haha.

[aznsyndicate609]

New avatar up. Not really a new pic, just never uploaded it before.
Had a jv match today, pinned the kid in 27 seconds. What a scrub. Haha. We beat there team 58-6. Talk about rape.
Worked out afterwards. This is how it went:

Snatches-work on technique and form so went light
65lb x 5 reps x 3 sets

Dumbbell bench press
60's x 10
70's x 7

Wide-grip weighted chins
bw+ 25lb x 6
Close-grip weighted chins
bw+25lb x 10

Weighted dips
bw+45lb x 10
bw+70lb x 6

Dumbbell shoulder press
45lb x 8

Seated calf raises
135 x 30
180 x 30

Power cleans
135 x 10. So tiring.

Wrestling season is almost over which means I'll be able to hit the iron again on an actual routine. Can't wait.

[mr_bhana]

Good WO, liking the power cleans!

[aznsyndicate609]

Another win for me today and also the team. Everything is going pretty great so far. Team's record is 13-3 which is huge improvement from last year which was 6-18 and we're still not done with the season.

Had a little accident today while cleaning.
I was going for 200. First try I was SO close to getting it. I caught it at the bottom squat but I couldn't hold onto it.
I went for another try, this was was a slip and the bar sort of crushed my wrists in a weird way. Bothered me for awhile but it's nothing bad.

[rolex2136]

bro ur gonna run shi* in ur weight class. i wrestle at 160 and its simple. all u need is technique, im sure you overpower almost everyone in ur weight class..especially with all your ambition man.

[aznsyndicate609]

Hey guys. Sorry haven't updated in a long time.
The season is finally over, for me at least. Still a couple practices left but I have no more matches. So now I can finally start eating like crazy again.
I think I'll be finally starting a routine again next week on Monday.
Anyway, my record on JV was 12-6 I think and including Varsity matches it would be 13-10 or something. Not bad for a first year wrestler.
Next year my goal is to get the same ratio of wins to losses as I did this year except on Varsity.

My bulk starts next week when I start my routine. Going to try to get to 150-155 pounds. Still need to come up with a routine to include powerlifting, Olympic lifting, and bodybuilding.

Oh yeah, new pics are updated in a diff thread.

[Havelockbeast]

Damn, must be a nasty school.
My school was never that good. This year's team was probably the second best wrestling team we've ever had. Feels pretty good to be a part of one of our town's best wrestling team, though.

[aznsyndicate609]

I'm finally back to training starting today!
This is my routine but I'm open to suggestions on changing it.
It consists of powerlifting and olympic lifting the first two days and a bodybuilding routine the next three days.

Monday: Bench press, clean and jerks, full power cleans, snatches, and overhead squats to help improve my snatches.

Tuesday: Parallel squats, deadlifts, and forearm/grip work.

Wednesday: Chest and Triceps
Thursday: Legs, calves, abs, neck
Friday: Back, biceps, shoulders

For the powerlifting days, it's based on 1-6 reps, and 8 for some exercises.
For the bodybuilding days, I use very strict form and use lighter weight than usual.

Today's work out was:

Deadlifts-
135 x 8
225 x 6
265 x 4
275 x 4

Parallel squats-
135 x 8
185 x 6
225 x 6
245 x 4

For forearms, I just did some wrist curls and one set of wrist rollers.

Again, any critique on the routine is welcome and is open to change.
I got pretty weak but I'm hoping to get my strength back in a couple weeks with this routine.

[aznsyndicate609]

Finally today was my first actual bodybuilding work out for months.
Chest and triceps today. Here's how it went:

Flat bench
135 x 10
155 x 10
165 x 5
135 x 8

Incline bench
115 x 10
115 x 10
135 x 4

Decline flyes
30 x 10

Rope push downs (weird cable machine)
37.5 x 10
42.5 x 10
42.5 x 10
42.5 x 10

Dips (couldn't find the weight belt so I just did BW dips)
BW x 12
BW x 16
BW x 16
BW x 16
By this time, my triceps were so pumped. Forgot how great the feeling was.

One-arm triceps extensions
20 x 10
15 x 10
15 x 10
15 x 10

I was posing afterwards. I lost some mass in my triceps which I am upset about. =/ But just motivation to work harder!

I wouldn't worry about it too much, once you get back into the swing of things it'll get so much easier. I like your new avatar too!

[aznsyndicate609]

Love the olympic moves glad to hear your recouverd. Works look killer! When you started p.c's and snatchs did you have some help you with them when you first started or did you just read and watch vids and try?

Hiya, for the cleans, I remember seeing one of the teachers in our school, who is an olympic lifter, teaching some of the kids how to power clean properly. I pretty much understood the whole concept of the technique and picked up from there. The snatches were hard to learn, though. Had to look up on youtube for that and then I got it down.

There was a snowday on Monday and the weight room is flooded since yesterday so I've missed Mon, Tues, and today. Hopefully it'll be back tomorrow.

[aznsyndicate609]

Just an update. Well, unfortunately, my school's weight room turns out to be really damaged and won't be open for a couple of months. However, they have moved most of the equipment elsewhere so I'm back to lifting!
Some new personal bests:
325 x 2 on deadlifts (pretty bad form, my back rounded)
305 x 5 on bench squats
195 x 1 on full power cleans (not really a new personal best because I've gotten it before, but this time I did it with much more ease and better form)

Pretty happy about the DL and squats. Last week, I maxed at 315 x 1 on DLs, so I improved 10 pounds and for 2 reps as well. With the squats, last week I did 275 x 5, so that's a 30 pound improvement.
I'm hoping to DL 335 next week and squat 315.
I've also gained 7-9ish pounds since wrestling ended so I'm basically back where I started before the season. Now it's time to improve.
