Im proud to say I was a wrestler

    I hate everything about it but when I leave a tournament with a medal in my hand and a singlet covered in blood I know what being alive really is. My reason is that it has given me certain intangible things that you can't get anywhere else. The work and pain sometimes is a reward in and of itself, just knowing that while others choose the easy path I chose the hard one. And for that I am rewarded with toughness unlike any other, and one hell of a fighting spirit. My cauliflower ear is my most prized possession.

    @babyfacekillah1323 7 лет назад +9

    Wrestling is hard because of the conditioning we go through. Personally, I don’t cut for wrestling matches, instead I bulk up, or increase my weight to become bigger and stronger. It’s to dominate other weight classes. Currently, I’m looking to bulk up to 135 or 140 because naturally I’m 128-132lbs. I think if I bulk up to 140 I would feel slower, but I have increased potential in maximizing my strength.

      @thorazine0076 6 лет назад

      I think if you can accomplish 8% body fat and eat extremely lean/healthy throughout the season, 1 or 2 days of cutting weight properly is about right, you should be able to eat light meals daily and not dehydrate more than 5 lbs

    • @thorazine0076
      @thorazine0076 6 лет назад

      @Spartan cut out salt and processed foods, 2 days before weighins, eat baked chicken breast, skin marinated with some soduim or sugar should be ok, turkey or eggs ( hard boiled for school lunch), eat brocolli (lightly steamed can add some mayo or ranch) any dark green vegies is good, fruit with high water content is excellent etc, cut out bread and carbohydrates,,, drink lots of water for those 2 days, 72 ounces daily or more if practicing (waterloading),,, and it sould flush your system out of salt and water in the next 2 days of peeing and practice, might not drink water day of weighins... after weighins drink Pedialyte don't over do too much salt, and drink orange juice and water to replinish what you lost, eat carbohydrates and proten accordingly... you'll realize its more discipline but easier and great results, experiment until you do what works for you... cutting weight is not easy, its easier the more discipline you have... if wrestlers want to eat whatever they crave, then they don't have the mental game to be the best they can be, imo. and one last thing, sometimes parents get in the way of a solid diet because they don't understand what you're doing and will serve you whatever everyone else is eating at dinner..

      Everyone cuts weight. Nobody forces you but yes you would just be a scrub not matching up because someone else will take your spot. And if you try to take the weight class of your walk around weight you’re competing with a guy on your team way bigger than you that cut 10-15 pounds. Nobody forces weight cues because it naturally works out

      Taylor Cottam yes I agree I played full back, and middle line backer, was also on the kick off return team, and ya I encountered lots of hits, when wrestling started I don’t recall ever getting hurt like in football, I dnt know wrestling is not the toughest though

      Taylor Cottam I agree it is hard but not the toughest, in HS football I knew good wrestlers that could not exceed in that sport. something in our city boxing gym.

      Taylor Cottam well I know it is an opinion but the title says wrestling is the hardest sport in the world, just saying there is other sports harder

      If u think that those are harder after taking in every aspect of wrestling meaning not just the wrestling then wrestling is harder if u say it’s not then u weren’t a wrestler u just wrestled there’s a difference between wrestling the action and being a wrestler
