Rope climbs + gymnastic rings = GOAT strenght , i use these in Greco roman (Croatia) and The transfer really well

[@GarageStrength]

That's freakin awesome! Yeah we love these exercises!

[@robbybee70]

what do you do with the gymnastic rings like iron crosses and stuff?

Single leg squats Power cleans Weighted dips Plate flips(for grip) [neat] Rope climb

[@angusdubois4736]

I know it's different but for BJJ I noticed cleans and heavy racks pulls have helped me a bit.

[@GarageStrength]

That's awesome! We are hoping to make some BJJ specific videos in the coming months. Glad you liked the video 💪

[@TheMeaning673]

I’m in middle school right now 8th grade first year in wrestling, since I’m in eight grade this year with my school team will be the last and I’m trying to make it golden. Thank you for the video I’m gonna do that as part of my routine I hope it helps.

[@kaliba87]

Awesome Video Sir !! Greetings from Turkey !

[@user-vu6vz8nl1y]

Awesome! I’ve got the same list of basic wrestling exercises but it’s a bit extended with heavy squats, snatch and heavy kettlebells presses for shoulders. Btw, have you seen USSR wrestlers strength and conditioning footage? A lot of useful exercises specially designed for wrestlers.

[@GarageStrength]

I have checked out some of their training. We actually use some of their methods in our training and will be releasing a video soon on some of their applied principles. Thank you. Can't wait to talk about more 💪

[@spiritualjj7530]

Great video! I feel smart cos I do 3/5 of the exercises daily haha

[@GarageStrength]

Great job!

[@cguns9893]

Vert and horiz pressing and pulling. Squat and hip hinge. The rest should be heavy carries/grip and gpp work. Small muscle accessory work as the cherry on top. But the barbell I think should be the strong base for all contact sport athletes strength.

[@alphonsopowell1904]

bro i love wrestling like omg yessir

[@eddiehauser6661]

I like the clean, and always say hip strength is one of the most overlooked aspects of a lot of people, but one thing I never see in almost any programs, which I love is a simple barbell hip thrust. Curious why no one seems to implement that into athletic training programs

[@konstantinos-antoniosbme-m6472]

Nice detailed video! Could I use these exercises for judo strength training too?

[@GarageStrength]

Yes you can!

[@aoeproductions.2742]

Great video💪🏾are hang cleans good as well?

[@GarageStrength]

We don't use hang cleans often and prefer them from the floor, but they are great for explosive power 💪

[@sidneymiller625]

What volume and intensity would you recommend for the split squat and cleans ?

[@GarageStrength]

Split squats (3 - 5 sets of 5 - 8) and cleans can be (4 - 6 sets of 2 - 4) | Hope that helps you out 💪

[@joaquinpoppi3397]

Hi Dane! I know its not ideal but, could all of these exercises be done in one single session? I can only hit the weights once a week

[@Jackedtavist]

I miss being a wrestler. Practices sucked yet it was the best part of my life thus far.

[@vaibhavujagare8512]

Pls make a series on judo.

[@ettcnt3822]

What do you think about power curls instead of power cleans? I feel it's just easier to learn and same explosive hip movement.

[@GarageStrength]

Those are okay, but we think there is more power output cleans and you can do full variations to improve mobility and coordination. Curls are definitely not bad, we have found normal clean variations to be more applicable for wrestlers. Good question 👍

[@MNaeem5]

@@GarageStrength How about Dumbell cleans,are they comparable to barbell cleans in their benefits?

[@seanreed9472]

These are great exercises, but are more advanced. My son (and the other high school athletes who I will be conditioning) is a 14 year old wrestler, and the first thing we must do is build basic strength on basic lifts, squat, deadlift etc., and on a heavy 5 rep based program. Once our strength base is in, and as his season approaches (he also plays football) then I will have him start with the single leg squats, etc, that are in this program. Really like the plate flip/grip idea, will def be using that. I have been saying for a long time that long distance running is the WORST form of wrestling conditioning that should only be done once or twice a week, max.

[@dzimikes]

Absolutely, running in Wednesday and Saturday is perfect,and exercise bike for weight cutting

[@senorbonbon]

whats a good basic routine I can do? Im planning on signing up to a wrestling gym very soon, I was thinking mon-wed @ the wrestling gym and thur-friday strength and conditions and Saturday 1 hill run

[@Ok-uc5in]

5x5? I have two daughter’s wrestling, younger is killing it, older one is working her way up.

[@KiraTheUnleashed]

Can I use reverse lunges instead of splits squats? And any substitute for weighted dips as my gym doesn't have the dip bar?

[@D-End8]

Hey do you have replacement excercise for rope climb

[@bcaagym1317]

Amazing video i need to ask however will this benifit my jiu jitsu

[@GarageStrength]

This would definitely benefit BJJ. These exercises emphasize explosive power and GRIP STRENGTH. Other exercises you can try are pull ups on towels and fat grip one arm rows to build up that grips strength even more. Hope this helps 👊

[@Philip-dy3ww]

Do we have a substitute for Cleans? Can a barbell roll work as well? 😢I don’t have the finger wrist mobility to do Cleans( I think)

[@adonisb39]

What about doing something like pushing a neutral car for a full body workout?

[@rsg833]

[@joaquinpoppi3397]

Hi dane, would you do all these exercises in a workout?

REAL ONE

[@bcaagym1317]

And another thing I sprint 150 meters / 10 times What benifits can i expect to see with this workout in terms of grappling

[@GarageStrength]

Yeah that can help. Maybe even variation of distance to 50 meters isn't bad. Develop that explosive power and build endurance for matches.

[@earthfedmuscle1560]

Nick Gwiazdowski is a BEAST! He's in great shape to take the Olympic next year 🔥

[@GarageStrength]

Hell yeah. He looked really good at his recent training camp here at the gym. We will have some more footage of him training here and an exclusive interview during one of his workouts. Should be fun 💪

[@erolnisic2465]

For those of us who feel iffy with dips, 2 questions? Firstly, a substitute. Secondly, how to build up to be able to do dips well and heavy? Happy holidays

[@nickalvarez1472]

Use bands on the dips until you don’t need them anymore

[@vikramjatt4669]

Sir please tell me that.how many times should i climb rope in a week and how many sets??

[@slee2695]

Good video sir..would lunges give the same benefit as split squats?

[@GarageStrength]

Not the same because the amount will be greatly reduced, but it works as an alternative if that is the only option.

About the dips, should i do chest targeted dips, or tricep targeted dips?

Is there an alternative to plate flips because i would have 1v1 rumble against my father if i smash the floor

[@redshot1015]

all this is amazing even with years of training.. these exercises do cause more offseason injuries for no reason . thats why coaches are leaving these lifts out

[@John_on_the_mountain]

Whats your opinion on Zercher squats?

[@GarageStrength]

They're okay. I think they're a bit overrated.

@@GarageStrength right on. It just appears the carryover would be decent. What about Turkish GetUps? I feel that those would be fantastic

[@goose5718]

Catch it

[@bellicose2037]

In my opinion the best lift for mat strength is the deadlift. What lift is going to put more weight in your hands and arms? If you want to talk about raw extended arm strength you have to talk deadlift. For strength at least. Of course power is a different story.

[@maliquewilliams86]

What do you know? Prob never wrestled breh

[@richardvillarreal2463]

[@4hunnid_k]

Nice vid🔥. I’m 15 weighing 135 and bench 225, squat nearly 300, and deadlift over 300. But I don’t have experience in wrestling. Can strength give you a slight advantage in wrestling

[@GarageStrength]

It can, but wrestling strength can be very different so reps on the mat are most important

[@motoz30]

if you find wrestling isn't your thing, i'd advise you to get w/ a good strength coach, and really start finetuning your lifting technique. at your size, those are impressive numbers (very similar to mine when i was a year older, at 132).

[@4hunnid_k]

@@motoz30 appreciate it. I wanna be mma fighter but doesn’t have a wrestling background

[@absolutelynoone5776]

I don’t do plate flips thank you

[@smorgan125]

Not a fan. These are isolation exercises that should be done at the end of a workout, not the beginning. Focus on the basics compound movements . - Bench Press/Standing Press/Dumbbell incline Press - Squats/Leg Press - Deadlift - Rows - Weighted Dips/Pull-Ups - Pull-over For grip, do dead hang for as long as you can each day. Add weight to make it harder.
