Gable run Hawkeye Wrestling Club Practice

[@stewie2070]

There’s is a vibe before wrestling practice everyone is like oh shit

[@Suave121]

Yup lol. Calm before the storm

[@c3ramics]

Man if that doesn’t speak to the truth. It’s like damn coach I’m on your team dude.

[@777Skeptic]

I don't think anyone looks forward to wrestling practice. After school, and after that warm-up, I knew hell was going to be unleashed. That smell of chlorine as the freshmen are cleaning the mats, just makes you realize another hellish practice was only minutes away. I haven't played other sports, but do football, soccer, track etc players look forward to practice because they get to chill with their friends?

[@Nicokid87]

@@777Skeptic Track, 100%... our practice was 90% dicking around and 10% practicing our events.

[@conwaytwitty8634]

This practice looks like a hell scape. The metal clanging, the grunts of anguish, while Dan Gable cruises around with mop like Charon, the boatman who takes dead souls to Hades. Yeah, I hate wrestling.

[@michaelstout7955]

Every time I see Dan Gable look up and glare while mopping my heart stops beating.

[@socalastarte6727]

For the lay person that isn't obsessed with college wrestling, I'll share some context. This is one of the many National Iowa championship teams from the early 2000s. This is the HWC practice where these collegiate animals are honing their skills for international (Olympic) freestyle competition. These are some of the cream of the crop in college wrestling beating the hell out of each other. Lincoln Mac, Joe Williams, Jeff McGinness, Mark Ironside and others were all multiple time NCAA champs.

[@VossGiannis]

I learned everything I ever needed to know about myself after only 2 weeks in that room.

It would’ve been such a privilege to wrestle for Gable

[@BadWolfMMANashville]

35:18 Dan Gable pushing a mop to keep the mats dry.... while in BJJ clubs the instructor makes white belts clean the mats. We need to get over ourselves in BJJ

[@PewPewFig]

Yes and no, white belts aren't top level athletes that Gable wants to keep from slipping and getting hurt because he wanted to win. There's a difference there, I don't mind cleaning the mats after rolling, I'm a blue belt.

[@BadWolfMMANashville]

King Kong do you go to a restaurant and clean your own table? Do you go to a hotel and wash the linens and towels? When you are paying for a service you should not be cleaning mats. I'm a black belt. And I run a BJJ gym as my only source of income.

[@PewPewFig]

@@BadWolfMMANashville None of those other things you mentioned are martial arts though, which a big part are rooted in discipline and respect. I've never seen anyone complain over this personally, I see it more as team and we all contribute in some way.

[@riptaylor498]

Dan Gable would do that even if it was beginners. In college while wrestling for championships at the highest level he would help anyone. People just wanting to lose some weight he would make time for

[@riptaylor498]

You have a point. In college dan Gable would help anyone with training. Even if it was just someone trying to lose weight As a teenager he worked construction and always looked for the toughest work that nobody wanted to do

@@daytonasayswhat9333 I feel like overtraining is different in this situation vs a clinical weight-room. Because while it may be sup optimal for some things there’s a certain amount of grit and skill you still get. Still probably true I just don’t know how you draw the line.

Actually you would have a much better chance of hitting that move in mma vs a high caliber college wrestler who has better base skills in that position. I can hit this move with a decent percentage of success in BJJ unless the guy considerably outweighs me.
