Apparently all of you posters are body builders who lift primarily for muscle definition
These lifts are not harming them in any way because they are not bending their backs or lifting it wrong, they are throwing around heavy weight not only focusing on a specific muscle group, but to make it more total body orientated. These type of workouts get your heart rate up much higher than a standard lift idiots, thats why they do them.

As long as the core and glutes are tight, the rocking and dynamic movement are excellent ways to improve functional wrestling strength. These athletes are not body builders. They need to be involved in dynamic unstable explosive movments. This meets the demands of the sport. As long as they are in control, injury is not likely. I would say this is a great way to reduce the risk of injury because of the similar actions that take place during the sport of wrestling. Speed during the concentric parts of the movments are important and I see this being done. Wrestlers at this level have incredibly high levels of core strength. The activities performed are effective and should improve performance and reduce the risk of injury

Alec Uidl October 10 at 4:46pm.
They don't try to lift with good technique, it's all about getting the wieght up. It's supposed to be like a match, you are not going to lift someone up with perfect technique every time, you have to just get the guy up sometimes
#21
Welch's Grapejuice October 10 at 4:32pm.
Whatched it again! Even more intense the 2nd time.

Matt October 10 at 3:39pm.

Ohio October 10 at 2:45pm.
Yes the technique is from the seventies, but the effort is vintage IOWA, and Mr. Palmanator, you do lance no justice by talking . Both of the wrestlers are intense competitors and will battle. Score board metcalf one NCAA title the rest 0. Go back to your xbox and smack there this is for the ones that pay and what ever the workout these guys are leaving it on the mat.
#15
Palmanator Ohio October 10 at 2:24pm.

This is why Iowa is so tough. They live tough.
TJ X= are you kidding. You must not be a wrestler.

TJ X October 10 at 1:44pm.
The only thing worrisome about the horrible form in cracking out these reps is that somebody can get a serious injury, either a vertebral injury or a hernia of sorts. It doesn't seem like anybody is wearing a weight belt or using wrist, elbow, or knee wraps which may prevent to some degree tendinitis. Other than the risk of serious injury, all is well again in the world with the collegiate wrestling season approaching.

Where's the rest of the team?

??? Answered October 10 at 1:32pm.
no - the close up shows that the 45 plate has a seam and just makes it look like there are two plates

This video's lifting session appears to be a little less intense than the previous one. The form and reasoning behind it appears to identical though...
#9
????? October 10 at 12:25pm.
is that 295 that Metcalf is pushing - looks like 4 45's and 2 35's??? Can that be??

If your suprised by this video, you have never seen the likes of royce alger, penrith, the brands, the steiners, goldman, heffernan, and gable. This type of intensity has been there foundation, agree or not with the method, the results are the bench mark.

That looked pretty intense. Thought it was funny when Metcalf got through with his last stair climb, he bent over to catch his breath and looked over to find the camera on him and he immediately hopped up and walked off. Brent Metcalf doesn't get tired, Brent Metcalf doesn't take a breather!
