From the top of a power rack, I suspended: 2 monster bands, 4 strong bands, and 2 of the new elite fierce? bands. Once that was all set-up, I looped some of the bands around my lower back, flipped my legs up, and hung out for about 5 mins. Kinda like this:

Godammit. This is why I hate wrestling. I have actually turned away high school clients that wrestle because 99% of the time it is detrimental to add in any other work. I had a 14 year old kid for a couple weeks that ran 6 miles everyday. Everyday. At 14. Before every exercise he did with me, we would frantically ask, “Is this going to make me gain weight?” I eventually told him the only way I would continue training him was if he stopped running. I never saw him after that.
He was 14 and already had chronic lower back pain, collapsed arches, and knee problems. I have a theory that running too much ruins your kinesthetic awareness. That kid, along with other wrestlers, could never get into any kind of decent position during any lift. It was awful.
Anyway, this is the coaches fault. They teach these kids borderline compulsive eating disorder behaviour and tell them it will help them out on the mat. “You can’t ever be in too good a shape!” Grea idea. Let’s take a bunch of developing young men with about a trillion different insecurities, tell them they need to lose weight, and then tell them the only way to do it is to spit into a gatorade bottle wearing a trashbag suit in a homemade bathroom steamroom after your second 4 mile run of the day. It’s fucking child abuse.
Anyway, sorry to go off on a rant there. Good luck with wrestling. haha.
Thursday-10-11-12- ME Lower

Stopped, went to Wendy’s, ate 3 classic trples, then was asleep by 7pm.

Dont worry I totally agree, my coach actually said to me I quote “Offseason should be 80% running/wrestling and 20% lifting”
I have yet to see a kid from our team bench over 135 other than myself. Lol I place 90% emphasis on lifting because of it, and on team runs I stay behind with the heavyweights so I can go nice and slow as a jog and not completely destroy my ability to recover. I basically figured out what you’re saying when i was trying to do starting strength and run 20miles a week during freshman year… you can guess how it went. After awhile I figured out that absolutely ZERO of my ability to win matches was coming from running, most of it was technique and strength over my opponent. So I just completely cut out offseason running (im forced to in season) and guess what every single lift I had has progressed ridiculously lmao.
I also dont know if you remember but you helped me set up my programming from where I gained most of my weight from 145-190 in this last offseason, and then to 200 towards the end. Best decision I ever made to not worry about weight.
I honestly showed up to every meet over my weight class. i still did pretty well and my coach eventually gave up on trying to get me to cut weight haha.

Awesome. Good to hear. Please continue to not kill yourself.
Monday-10-15-12- DE Lower-
Took this weekend completely off to give my knee/back a rest. Felt pretty good today:
Foam Rolled everything
Lax Balled Lower Back
Q. Stretch
Hammy BB Smash
Leg Swingsx a shit load
Tuggin’- 405+quaded minis (the EliteFTS Onyx minis which I am pretty sure add 50 more lbs than regular minis) x 5x1
Belt-455x5x1
Sumo Band DLs-225x6, 315x6, 405x6, 500x4<~~~~ was going dbl OH and my hands gave out.
Seated GMs-135x4x25
Standing Band Side Bends-Strong bandx4x20/each side
Fat Guy Abs- 35 total reps with a shitload of band tension
Hangin tractionx5mins
Feeling ok. I am kinda Forest Gumping my way through these last couple weeks. Having any kind of load on my back has been a goddamn nightmare. This is all stemming from my hips being so out of whack. I am hoping to get to my chiro 2-3 times before the meet to get my junk box un-funked.
Benching something really heavy tomorrow, hopefully.

When you do this, are you sitting on an area and kind of oscillating side to side, going down an inch or two and repeating? I’m having trouble really feeling this. I know it should probably hurt, but I don’t think I’m finding a proper way to do it yet.

Elevate the bar. If it is not at least at hip flexor level, then you are not getting enough weight on it. What I do is roll the hell out of my lateral hamstrings and the bicep femoris for 20-30 rolls. Stopping on problem areas, applying pressure, and “tacking” and stretching until I feel a change in the bound up stuff. Then I spend about 5 minutes per leg smashing up my entire medial chain/hip int. rotators. This is brutal for me.
Does that make a little more sense?
Monday-10-15-12- PM
Prowler- The Hell That Is New Jersey in 9:01. It took so long because my shoes kept falling off when I pushed the low handles… and I am knocking on the door of 290lbs. Pretty much moving in general is a max effort.
I think it does. Thanks. I’ll come back if I can’t figure it out for tomorrow’s squats
