- See Less -Ryan Churella has been self proclaimed as not a good athlete, but his wrestling hardware would suggest otherwise. He began the sport as a kid who had to be held back by his father Mark Churella a UM wrestling legend, from getting on the mat. His father wanted to make sure Ryan was going into wrestling for the right reasons.
In high school went from not qualifing his freshman year for the Michigan state tournament to a high school national champion. In between that time he won state titles in Michigan.
He followed his older brother to University of Michigan program and had great success there. Becoming an All-American and NCAA Runner Up.
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.
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.
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.

He is always giving 110 percent, that is inspiring to see.
