Flew out to US Nationals again this year, only this time I brought someone to coach from our team.

We get to Vegas only to find out that my kid won't be making weight so he has to wrestle up. While okay at local tournaments, its not quite the same caliber of kids at some local event and after winning his first two, he quickly finds out why he should've made weight.

He puts All-American Tyler Cox on his back three times and gets no points for it. Tyler doesn't take kindly to it… more »

Thank God It's Friday.
This SMMC stuff is not fun. Today went much better than planned though I did fail on getting deads in 3 sets.

100 Deats @ 50 % [100 Lbs] - Done in Sets of 35/34/16/15

1-15-1 Dips ladder = Pain
1-7-1 Pulls ups ladder = out of shape and too heavy.
Not nearly enough pull ups

No shot at Bench, arms/shoulders were fried from dips.

Tomorrow is the last day of this, thank God.

Whoever thought lifting could be so little fun.
100 X 160# Squats
100 X 80# Sumo Pulls

Mat Touches were out of the question.

Tomorrow:
1-11-1 Pull Up Ladder
4 x 5 @ 110% Bench
1-15-1 Dip Ladder

By the way, 29 is a stupid age, kinda like 17 and 20. more »

This week I began the Single Movement Mind Conditioning portion of our workouts.

Today's work looked like this:
100 Deadlifts @ 139#
100 Hang Presses @ 65#
GHD Wall Ball 3 x 10 @ 9 lb. ball

I wanted to get 100 consecutive reps but fell way short on deads and hangs. My highest rep total was 30 on deads and 20 on hangs.

This is still a great workout and thanks to the guys at Gym Jones I have been enlightened about my training.

As wrestlers we are taught discipline at an early age when it comes to our diet and eating habits. We are taught to eat healthy foods and not stuff ourselves with junkfood in order to keep our weight down and stay in top physical condition.

I was no exception to this lesson, but I'll tell you about the one time I broke this rule.

Wrestling in HS, I learned to run constantly to keep my weight down and eat right, so I figured when I headed to college, it would be no different. Boy… more »
