Wrestling changed my life. I started as a heavyweight at 250lb weight class in 7th grade. However I weighed in my first practice at 287. By the first match I was 240 or less. By the end of my first season I was under 210 which is ideal for me. Two seasons later I remained a heavyweight but averaged a weight of 202-208 lbs. Went 32-7 with 28 pins... Before wrestling I was lazy and didn't even know it. Now I'm known as a hard worker at my workplace, some say the best. Wrestling gave me work ethic, drive, grit, goal setting skills, and since then I adopted a mind over matter mindset that proves successful when I'm motivated to do something.

[@baccaratfitness2360]

I wrestled for 6 years in the 70's and when I look back I've come to realize that my coaches didn't understand cycling or periodization. I personally got into shape rather quickly but I needed to taper down or change up the modalities towards the end of the season because I was always burnt out at the end because we were pushed too hard. This probably had a lot to do with Dan Gable and the way he trained. He was the standard at the time (still is).

Coach, since Olympic lifts have such a huge learning curve for both coaches who teach them and athletes could the EMOM be done with a single or double of a sumo deadlift followed by 1 depth jump RPE 7ish? Or maybe a tuck jump or broad jump. Would that get the same explosive benefit?

What is the next best thing if you cannot do Olympic lifts?

[@tpap6827]

I have see very few highschool athletes who have the ability to do a proper clean and snatch. Other than the hand or power variety the full competitive movements require top notch instruction. Rarely can any wrestlers do Olympic lifts with a proper rack. I am unsure if you cleans even if they are done unlike CrossFit. The probably should be done with a broom stick and bar until sophomore year with no more than 3 reps with a full rest. I am no Olympic lifting expert but I know what a good clean looks like, what an acceptable clean looks like and what an atrocious clean looks like (80% ov high school football players can’t clean for shit and the form alone isn’t proof enough. A 300 lb clean is really not that good if it’s done using proper technique. The big strong guys who are capable of this feat must have decent clean technique to accomplish this task that European teenager throwers, wrestlers., lifters who can’t bench 315 can do. In America, football players in states like Florida and Texas It is not uncommon to see high school players benchpress 365 squat in excess of 550 End it is very rare to see someone in high school who can also clean 315. The opposite is true in Europe we’re guys can put big weight and Clean and jerk it overhead, Yet they’re absolute strength is not as high as many of the US athletes who focus on the slower. Strength lifts such as the power lifts. For this reason it’s my believe that US athletes should either have qualified Olympic lifting coaches or abandon Olympic lifts in favor of more pliers and kettlebell work. I know the CrossFit elite athletes often times have great Olympic lifting skill that they acquire through competent coach but your average CrossFit gym has athletes with horrific form on the Olympic lifts and many of the standard lifts as well. Weight lifting should not be reduced to a push-up contest. Anytime I see two people in a push-up contest the odds are that neither of them does even one quality push-up. If a push-up contest doesn’t require someone to maintain proper position, touch their chest to the floor and press up until their arms are fully locked, the rep should not count. The same is true of CrossFit keeping pull ups as those are ridiculous and shouldn’t count at all. You need to clean is still judged by whether or not you get the weight to your shoulders or not, So many American athletes get away to their shoulders with their forearms perpendicular with the ground and all that weight pulling their shoulders down and out of the socket. It’s a great way to screw your rotator cuff over the course of several months. If an athlete cannot maintain the proper rack position with the weight resting across his upper torso with his elbows pointing directly forward so that his triceps are parallel with the floor and the weight is in the tips of his fingers, he probably shouldn’t be doing cleans whether they are power cleans hang clean or full cleans. Cleans and snatches are great movements when they are done properly and when they aren’t in properly it just looks like a strong individual is muscle fucking up a weight off the floor which is not a good recipe for injury prevention or for exerting power in the field. Additionally, most wrestlers spend the season in a semi for kids state given their weight management so I don’t believe that cleans are a good movement for in season wrestler. Off-season they are probably OK but the problem is is it cleans are so difficult to learn properly and require such a competent coach and so many repeated efforts that if you start your freshman year in high school with Average football or wrestling coach you’re never gonna learn how to do a proper Olympic lift. You cannot teach but you cannot give your self perfectly unless you used to be able to do it perfectly and you have a young athlete there as your example. When I think back to high school football and wrestling and think about the coaches trying to teach the bench squat and clean I cringe. People learned how to benchpress properly and Squat properly if they were able to lift A decent amount because the judging standards were strict. But very few of our athletes could perform a clean that looked decent and none of them could perform a clean that did anything beyond looking pretty decent. There is a guy on our football team who at 175 pounds clean 315 and that was pretty unbelievable for 17 year old who hadn’t performed a clean until he was 15. This kid also had a 500 squat in a 350 bench I exceeded these numbers by a large margin in college in later on but I never did queens in when I started attempting to incorporate hand creams in power claims I was terrible. When I received some coaching from some guy who claims he could do them and couldn’t do them very well, I was able to get my clean up 275 but it was basically muscle fucking the weight and looked horrible.
