Over head Press is weak due to such over use of shoulders in wrestling. However i am still making progress. My guess is ill continue to grow stronger so long as i keep my self properly nourished and rested.

Andrew, I wrestled myself (when I was your age) and my biggest advantage was explosiveness in standup that I built from power cleans. You want to be limber and fast with a strong back, I’d swap those out with dead lifts. Dead lifts are probably ok if you’re late in the season and worn down from cutting weight.

When I wrestled in college, we did a lot of buddy squats and buddy “low back” extensions. I hated them at the time, but in retrospect it makes a lot of sense to be comfortable with your own weight class on your shoulders.

My 2 cents…

good luck adding 10 lbs to your OHP each week without stalling FAST. lol first post hey everyone

Week 5 and I’m still increasing, But yeah its getting pretty hard to maintain good posture. I predict ill stale out at 125.

The last thing I wanted to do during wrestling season was lift weights

godspeed

For me wrestling season is all year round. I find I’m slow and weak if i don’t lift.

I see, if its working for ya keep going.
