Wrestling

Wrestling is a sport of a true test of strength, endurance, and power. But its not just a sport, its a way of life. A wrestling workout can be one of the most challenging workouts you can find. Learning a specific wrestling workout to condition the necessary muscles and maintain the necessary endurance, usually involves joining a club, or being on a team, or finding a coach.

The high physical demand of this sport calls for training of both strength and endurance. Anaerobic power is called upon for quick sudden bursts of speed and power. Technique and drilling are also major pieces to a well rounded athlete as well as "mental toughness". Hand strength, power, speed and balance are all areas that need to be addressed when training specifically for this sport.
All of this takes place while also paying close attention to weight management. Exercises that simulate fast explosive movements are best when training competitively. The off season is when size and strength is worked on.

Why should wrestlers focus on preseason training?
