Lock-In 3.0 - Rhino Wrestling

Rhino Wrestling has it right. To the less-informed who most likely have not been bold enough to try, this is the same formula that builds Navy SEALs into what they are: relentless machines who will stop at nothing to win. While it is not quite on that level, and should not be for several very good reason, it is in the same vain and is in this SEAL's opinion a great building block in building the mental toughness to succeed when everything is on the line and all seems hopeless.
To the commenter who said an elite wrestler should be able to do 50 pull-ups at once: Before I went to BUD/S I did 60 pull-ups without getting off the bar. In BUD/S there were times I was so beaten down I could barely do 6 or 7. Exhaustion and sleep deprivation matter.
The commenter that said this is what will make the difference in top level tournaments hit the nail on the head. I have been through BUD/S, combat, cancer, organ transplants (2 lungs and bone marrow) and lots of other unimaginables. I shouldn't be alive and I shouldn't have been able to climb to over 12,000 ft on Mt. Denali with less than 40% of normal lung capacity. I did. This is where that kind of will to win against all odds begins. I'm looking for some of the wreslters from this school to be flat-out superstars as they progress. Hats off to Rhino Wrestling!! If you doubt my crednetials, google me, "Justin Legg, Navy SEAL".

mike is the man. he will do anything for his guys. if you don't like it then it's probably because YOU doubt that YOU can do it. good stuff, mike. building better wrestlers and better men day in and day out.

You can work long or you can work hard but you cannot work long and hard.

hahaa the all the haterss...it's comical.

#1 This was all for building "mental toughness". And as a wrestler and athlete, throughout the season and especially the end, the wrestler who can maintain better focus and concentration through adversity usually wins.

#2 Dan Gable (aka the greatest USA wrestling coach) did tons of stuff like this and worse to his wrestlers. If you've ever heard them speak, some of them would rather "do time" than go through the practices they did.
#3 Make it harder on yourself so that you make it harder on your opponent come match time... This practice kicks A** because of the mental torture and discipline required to do it.
Great job!

if you are hating on this i will personally hunt you down and murder you

this is great, i cant imagine what its like warming up and wrestling at 3am after a full day of working out! looks tough, great idea giving these kids the mental edge i would probably bug out working out for that long! keep it up!

you try and do this before you talk.. sound pretty tough from behind your computer screen..you would probably strat crying around the 12th hour..btw try doing pull ups with hands torn apart..

50 pullups in an hour an elite high school wrestler should be able to do 50 pullups in a row!

You have to look at it as a whole. Of course any serious wrestler can do any of these workouts within an hour. But after each workout your body gets more and more fatigued, making the next one exponentially harder. The guy talking in the beginning CLEARY says it’s not about the physical aspect. He said they will all be able to do it physically… It is mentally where they will have a problem. How easy (both mentally and physically) do you think it is to do pull ups and cleans when your hands are ripped apart? How easy is it to wrestle a 7 min match after every muscle in your body aches beyond belief and you haven't slept in 23 hours? Any how does this help a wrestler? In many ways... have you ever had to wrestle when you’re sore, running a fever, or been up all night because you can't sleep? How about wrestling in a national tournament that spans a 2 day period and your body is just plain exhausted. When you've wrestle a bunch of matches over 2 days, and you're losing 5-2 with 30seconds left...that's when it matters. And for all of you who say this is easy and doesn’t help, I guarantee you wouldn’t make it through one of these things. If I’m wrong then maybe you should show up for the next one. You won't catch me there cause I've hung up the shoes and I'm not crazy enough to put myself through this. I applaud the young men who did.

I disagree the only mental toughness this thing has brought is working when your tired and want to sleep not when your extremely gassed in a third period other than the seven minute matches every six hours these workouts should be a piece of cake for any serious wrestlier. Like really 50 pullups in one hour? an elite wrestler can do that in five minutes

Wrestling coaches look extremely stupid when they have their athletes do lifts with such terrible form. Doing 300 air squats with terrible form does nothing for you. How about we start doing stuff properly instead of trying to do a ridiculous amount with terrible form so we can brag about the intensity of our workouts.

why take 24 hours to do this? building mental toughness i guess, but those workouts were not that overly demanding, figure there were smaller children in attendance but any serious high school wrestler could do that effectively in half or less of the time
