Iowa "Short Time Workout" : Speakers & Interviews

thats a champions practice right there..............i love it

wish my kids went that hard in practice

I love watching Iowa practice. The intensity is simply amazing

Campbell is flat insane. Hit a clinic not long ago and he showed his outside step High C. It's got to be the most unstoppable move I've seen. And of course, you pull up his Bronze medal match and what move does he hit? Yep this very same outside High C. One of the most technically sounds wrestlers the USA has produced, EVER. A magician on the mat.

Same practice Gable used to run, even down to the 'sprint 3 laps' end. Don't fix what aint broke, I guess.

You think Metcalf goes hard?

I never said that the athletes that are at Iowa now are not athletic, they just don't rely on their athleticism to win matches, they rely on conditioning, FOR THE MOST PART. There are exceptions, but you don't see many Darrion Caldwell, Jordon Burroughs, Mike Poeta (who is white, but very athletic) coming through the Iowa program on a consistent basis.

This is the standard for wrestling in the world, count the Olympians and medals in the last 30 years, OK State right behind in the last 30 years.

Michigander I cannot think of any University of Iowa wrestlers who were not athletic, McIIlravy, McGinness, Whitmer, Ironside, both Zas, Brands and Steiners, Zapital, Ryan. Who are these unathletic wrestlers that you are talking about

Dan Gable's 1st Ncaa Champ was African American his name was Chris Campbell @177lbs in 1977

Consistent hard work. Great Work ethics by these young men

was that the assistant coach wrestling with brent?

coachin junior and highschool for 19 years. i love all who have wrestled...but id pay to watch this live.. amazing work out...go hawks 2010 champs...go hawks go

that throw was insane

wonder what the specific neck injury was on the guy in the neck brace... (was it morningstar?)

anybody know?

i love how the mats are just covered in sweat after the workout that means they busted their asses

ha anyone see that ld at 3:37 ??

real iowa wrestling this is what the state is about

ha its awsome to see metcalf and schwab go at it like that

in RECKLESS!!!

amazing

Doug Schwab and Brent Metcalf are going crazy in there.

I love that firemen

this is why, even with most guys having one of their worst tournaments, Iowa still came out on top

They look like wild animals!

is ryan morningstar

The guy in the neckbrace is a beast.

wtf is wrong with tom's eyes

thats some intense training

this is real iowa wrestling, this is how its done.this is why nobody can even get close to the iowa hawkeyes.

Hey does anyone know where you can buy these training shorts they wear, the lycra ones i suppose they are made of?

perhaps the colors here play a role in motivation, maybe all rooms should now be black and yellow

I wish my high school team practiced like that.
Metcalf is a monster but even he was being played with by Schwab. WOW...

that is really funny watching dennis toss moore around like a ragdoll

i got the chance to go to the Iowa hawkeye intensive training camp and Metcalf was my leader. he was the most disciplined hard working person i have ever met.

did u see dat guy get tossed...lol

part of it is their in-your-face style.
every wrestler in this room is trained to never let the other guy break and to always push the pace. it makes for an intense practice.

wow that guy still is practicing w/ a broken neck lmao
thats crazy

whats with the kid practicing with a neck brace on

i like watching dennis tear moore apart. his lateral at 3:35 is slick.

is metcalf any good at freestyle? is so what are his chances in '12

this is best

When you have someone like Doug Schwab to beat on you every practice its hard not to be National Champ.

you know you're badass when youre practicing with a neckbrace one haha

What an intense workout. I can't think of any other D1programs that will match this...

i am a big mizzou fan but wow iowa really trains hard and i gotta say metcalf is one of my favorite wrestlers to watch but you already know my favorite wrestlers are the Askrens, Marable and Raymond Jordan

this is why iowa is were they are at

i love brands face at 7:23! hahaha

Great video! nice very intensive workout! i've watched this video at least 3 times a day. i learn new things everytime i see it. GO IOWA HAWKEYES!

I came across this video about a week ago. Since then I have watched this video at least twice a day. I see something new everytime i watch it. Best workout session i have ever seen.

"crying" sounds Metcalf makes from 9:30 to 11ish are sounds of giving 110% when he's completely exhausted. No wonder he's so conditioned

Siiiiiiiiiiiick throw at 3:35

Trueblue, that is like saying if the economy goes bad under a president it is his fault, not really the case. A lot of variables are in the equation.

Well lets say they have made iowa better, they arent exactly great leaders when it comes to expanding the sport of wrestling. With the spotlight and fame for so many years wrestling under Dan Gable fell off the map. His only direct responsibility was Iowa and he did a legendary job. But if you look at the global results of wrestling, while he was the major figure in wrestling, wrestling had a tragic downfall. The results speak for themselves.

I'll never understand why some people do not like Iowa. They win by simply out working their opponents. It's honest and blue collar. Gable and now Brands have have not only made Iowa better but they have made wrestling in America better.

Iowa wrestling is great! Thank God for Gable. USA Wrestling should be thankful that this program is back where it should be, thanks large in part to Tom Brands.

Great footage! Go Hawkeyes!

good training methods

Yeah! Don't you just get pumped up watching these guys kill themselves

awesoem lateral at 3:35, really launched the kid.

It's called the Real Runner

Tom Band and the Iowa Hawkeyes go get'em. Virgina Tech!

I threw up just watching this video

wow

Classic Brands face at 7:23. That makes me laugh everytime.

eyes of a warrior, heart of a christian

You can buy a copy of "Freestyle" from http://www.dangable.com.

Ive heard about four people talk about this "Gable - Freestyle Documentary". Where can I watch it???

that machine is a "REAL RUNNER"

What is the name of the machine at 7:40, and where can I get some? I saw those in the Gable - "Freestyle" documentary as well. Great stuff.

great vid the Hawkeyes are amazing

why can't I save this video to my favorites?

who keeps moaning at 3:50

luckly no injuries at 1:35 with 4 matches on two circles

ANEEEEEMALSSSSSSS

why is the guy at about 0:40 wearing a neck brace?

damn so how long is their practices

anyone else notice how much they were slipping, and i know the sweat was there, but even in the beginning they were all over the place.

Cali now we're comparing high school to college? I would say there are at least 30-50 programs with coaches from the gable era who have brought that same philosophy to the program. I have been in practices thaat were intense like that. Caliwrestling, we had those machines in our room and they were called rail runners. not sure if that is correct or not

What is the machine called at min 6:30 that the kid is using?
We had some in college but i haven't seen them since.
Who are they made by and what is the name of them?

schwab was toying with metcalf

Tap Out. I would disagree that intensity is intensity. Intensity coming from top ranked college guys is much different than the best intensity coming from a decent high school kid

now that is a practice!!!!!!!

holy man - need a sham wow to clean the sweat off those mats

They all wrestle the same...

Ding ding ding we have a winner. all i said was i know what those days were like

To Tap Out, unless you have wrestled in a D-one program like that, you have never been through a practice that intense.

Mercy, are these guys undercover Marines?

No duh these guys are badasses. You don't have to have a video tell you that. Just keep up with all their tourneys and duals. But this video does add to their badassness.

i went to the iowa intensive camp this summer and this video is no joke! That is a full room of badasses!

A lot of psychos in that room, pure awesomeness

My team practiced that hard. the competition was not as good but i remember practices just like that if not harder

Who is Falck wreslting with?

Nate Moore is gettin' worked on the entire time. Goes 2 show you how big a jump it is from the best in high school 2 the best in college.

Iowa is the best... end of story

nice

Hey T, I'd bet against you. I'm pretty sure they run Gable-style practices like this all year long.

Don't need another video! The Hawkeyes say and do everything that needs done! PERIOD!

hey ugh... do you listen to music in competition? nope.

Looks like a great intense practice. However, I doubt they will be able to continue at that pace until March nor do I think the coaching staff will plan like this all season. In fact, I don't think many will being that we are only in October. Looks like a solid team with hard working wrestlers.

THAT WAS THE MOST BADASS WRESTLING VIDEO I'VE EVER SEEN. THAT IS WHY IOWA IS MY FAVORITE TEAM. SO MUCH INTENSITY!

wrestling with Nate Moore in teh beginning?

Definition of hard core is wrestling with your neck brace on!!!!! What's up with that??

heaven

i'd make a comment - but after watching this - I have to go and workout!!

May I suggest flowrestling having a Iowa Section that we can get a new video of just Iowa every day cuz it is all I want to watch! awesome!

The Greatest College Wrestling school of all time GOOOOOOOO IOWA I LOVE THE HAWKEYES!!!!!

awesome practice, you can feel the intensity through the screen..if you didn't listen to it..watch it again, the grunts and groans are the best part!!

Metcalf gets to work out with an olympian, who gets mike and does Jared ever workout with em? Didn't see Terry today....what a room of brawlers!

Gable had a theory that if you need music in the wrestling room to push yourself that you will not be able to do the same when there is no music during competition. Ahh but what does he know.

What a great place to be if you want to be great.

Nate Moore with Dennis. Izzy, you'd like those short go's huh? Haha
My son still needs an IzzyStyle shirt too btw!

Great coverage, to bad USA wrestling couldn't figure out how to do this, wait take a survey first to see what people want!!!!

Go with the FLO!

i had no idea...

This IS THE definition of BUSTING YOUR BALLS!

yeah thats schwab

this is gonna be the most viewed vid ever on FLO (so far)

I thought I work hard in practice, but after watching this, I have a whole new perception on what working hard is. Besides that, I'm speechless and in awe of what the Iowa wrestlers go through everyday. Amazing vid Flow! I'm pretty sure,but someone please clarify for me, is that Doug shwab wrestling with Metcalf? Those 2 were giving it their all and acting like practice is life or death. And who was woopin' up on Nate Moore?

AWESOME

who was that wrestling with Nate Moore?

Love it!

I just lost 5 lbs. watching that. Hope Mizzou is working that hard!

These guys are so high level, to keep that intensity so long, all season is like superhuman! Talking to an Iowa NCAA Champ over the weekend and he said, "Brands gives so much, you just want to please him". It looks like every guy on the team feels that way. Plus the new staff, this is the standard, by which college wrestling is measured. I wish I could wish them luck, but they don't need it.

Tom Brands sure knows how to get people to work.

That was freakin crazy
