Anthony Robles is truly inspiring, i mean the guy has one leg and you never hear him make an excuse about it. He is a true wrestler.

Cejudo hard work pays off. Props, guy, u earned it.

Props, Robles!

Mesenbrink is in pretty good shape for a guy that's not THAT young. Anybody know what his wrestling background is? He's an awesome hi-school coach.

peabody have you seen the Iowa Lift video? if you haven't go watch it, it will tell you why these guys have such bad form, it's because they aren't bodybuilders - they're wrestlers, they move around a lot. you have to force your reps, not so much as to injure yourself but heavy enough that you struggle for every rep. why? you're not going to sink in an underhook just by standing there are you? no you're going move your entire body with it. they're lifting to help with their technique, not to bench 405.

Yeah Peabody, my thoughts exactly. Their coach is Terry Brands; probably one of the laziest guys around. From what I've heard he's a lot like his college coach, too.

Get outta here. Go make a couple of olympic teams, win some world medals, wrestle internationally as much as these guys do, be as good as they are, and then come back and say how their lifting is. Matter of fact, you should check out the Iowa lifting videos. Gotta be one of the worst lifting programs in the country right there, right? No real pedigree or anything behind it.
You don't have to agree with how they do it, but to say that your way is the ONLY right way and that their way has no basis is just plain ignorant...ironically enough.

Dave Peabody is a moron

Ignorance is hilarious and Hilarious is ignorance. Go educate yourselves.
these guys have no clue how to execute weightlifting technique or what is appropriate strength training for their sport. A very cursory bit of research confirms this. Their coach is a lazy ass.

Hilarious 5 years ago

I love the comments where guys suggest that the training that these athletes are doing is counter-productive. Our olympians and olympic coaches OBVIOUSLY have no clue what they're doing.

how is this unimpressive i dont get it?

Extremely unimpressive. They should drop everything but the tire flip and start over. See Mark O Madsen on youtube w/Kenneth Jay.

why are we posting USA team lifts online? we are making it public news to the world on what lifts we do, where we do them and how we train. does this NOT make sense to anyone else? or am i just being too cautious?

Because Its For USA 5 years ago

All of the second place finishers should be at the OTC working their asses off to help the representative prepare for the Olympics. The OTC does pay these guys to be there.

me 5 years ago

why should it have to be an impartial process?? If the coaches and wrestlers want somebody specific to help them, that is who should be there. Also, its not like these guys get paid to be there, so it can be tough for some of the other guys to go to all of thecamps all the time. they fly in and out when they can. also, what kind of worthless person calls these guys "nothings". I am sure you are somebody, get a life.

Where Are They 5 years ago

But Angel Cejudo and Max Askren? Come on. You can't say they were chosen through an impartial process now can you?

somebody 5 years ago

I think those so-called "nothings" are there because they were asked by the Olympians to be their training partners. Sometimes the number two guys aren't the best partners for your individual style or workout. When I was younger, some athletes chose me over more established wrestlers because I gave them a good look and feel that best suited their style and training regimen. The best wrestlers aren't always the best training partners.
