- See Less -There is no "type" of wrestler that Ben can be catagorized as. He has created a whole new genre that is unique with his rolling and pinning style.
Ben over the last two years of his college career was flawless. His first two years were not half bad either, each time going losing in the finals of the NCAA tournament. Ben Askren will mostly be remembered for the entertaining fashion he wrestled his matches. He always had fun and always put on a show for the fans.
In 2008 he won the U.S. Nationals and Olympic trials and competed in the Bejing games. Since then he has continued on as an volunteer wrestling coach and has begun training mma at American Top Team in Columbia, MO. His first fight is likely to be in early 2009.

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