Time to Get JACKED! : Speakers & Interviews

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.

schwab was in iowa

Zas? Schwab? Where is the iron to sharpen iron?

Give me a break! My workouts are ten times harder and better than that. This guys have no idea what they are doing. No wonder that can't win !

Askren is struggling with 175 pounds... no wonder he the bed at the Olympics

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.

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.

I think we need to be the ones studying other countries.

cause all these exercises that they show are total secrets like bench press, nobody knows that one

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?

Tjs why would you make a comment about popping steroids? you are dumb

what a great video. thanks for the motivation for the next month! time to pop some more steroids

no, its whoever can push them and help them prepae idiot, its not about placement, and i dont think lewis and askren would get along, abas can barely wrestle so what good would he do?think about it

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.

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.

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

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.

I'd assume that he is a chosen workout partner for his brother -- like I'm sure R.Churella is for Hrovat.

why is Max Askren there working out,he didn't place in the trials?

Yeah! Anthony Robles on the weights.. I saw him wrestle in Winslow. That's one bad dude right there.

I would love to know what Carmen believes is good training. I suppose you have trained more world class athletes in WRESTLING. FYI, there is not one training regimen that works for all athletes and sports.

Worst training for an athlete I have ever seen!!!

dudes wearing sandals i wish my coach was cool with that

awsome coverage. the training is incredible.

Henry Cejudo.
WE BELIEVE

HOW can Cormier JUMP like that....unbeliveble

By the way Henry is training, i am betting on him for the GOLD medal.
He is always giving 110 percent, that is inspiring to see.
GO CEJUDO!

I am not so sure about the 10lb side raises??? I would like to know what each guy does in entirety? it looks like some guys need to throw in some more olympic lifting. where are the snatches???

So... Mocco leaves Iowa for Oklahoma St. to realize his Olympic dream, but then finds himself being directly trained by a guy who epitomizes the "Iowa Style" and philosophies and he finally makes a world team... interesting...

Flow Wrestling!
All of your coverage is outstanding. This type of coverage is a first in USA wrestling. Get rid of NBC and give the wrestling coverage to Flo.

where is schwab?

the usa team is

At the 3 min mark check out dude with one leg doing upright rows.....now that is impressive.

No wonder cormier is the best look at his workout!!!

cormier=strait BEAST

max askren is lifting in sandals???

i dnt like it.d

someone made fun of brands shorts. lookout, there r 2 more people wearing those shorts! lol. who gives a damn what they wear, what matters is how hard they train.

Flo-man-jo you are the shiznit, keep it coming yo! By the way, have you bought any apples since you have been down in Arizona?

I love these videos it gets me pumped

cormier is just a straight up awesome athelete. he's my favorite to win gold this summer.

watching terry brands coach mocco in that sonewhat of an iowa style... reminds me when mocco was in iowa city being coached by tom and jimmy z, i always liked when mocco wore black and gold

that last shot of Brands in the shadows was cool.

Mama's Cookin' is hype

Cormier = 211's

what weight is cormier wrestling at bejiing

now that was tight

COrmier and Cejudo are BEASTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSS

thanks for this, but i didnt see askren staring at himself in the mirror this time...(someone previously said that)

Dude Robbles doing cleans. I LIKE IT!

I want to see more what cormier does...he looks freakin athletic

This is the sexiest thing I have ever seen
