I've done crossfit, triathalons, powerlifting, track, tae kwon do, karate and all other sorts of sports from the time I was young but nothing compared to the conditioning of wrestling. The worst was when they'd pair us against someone and if we won they'd throw in someone fresh, then keep doing that until you get to the point that you are so exhausted that you're getting pinned by someone 50lbs lighter than you. The drills we did in wrestling were way more intensive than other sports too, often times just as hard as the actual match (sand bag toss drills for 2mins a time, picking up partners from your knees moving them from side to side, weighted human wheelbarrow runs across the football field when fatigued, etc). I've seen more people puke during wrestling training in the summer than any other sport, simply because you're exhausted, out of breath and getting your body forcefully contorted into the worst positions. It builds a type of mental toughness that is hard to beat.
Trying to keep a strong conditioned opponent off you when youre tired and hurting is tantamount to drowning and a good wrestler we clue into that early on in the match and drag you in deep waters if he can't brute force over power you.
Played a lot of sports. Football, basketball, soccer… Wrestling is the number one sport for endurance hands down. 90 percent of the time you are pushing your body to its physical limit when training. It was normal for dudes to be throwing up and passing out from heat exhaustion. The other 10 percent is learning techniques and skills like grappling and the moves you see. If you think about it, you are using 100 percent of your strength against another human being for 10 minutes. Normal people will get winded within 10 seconds. Wrestlers are a different breed.
What he said about Jiu-Jitsu is so false lol. At my gym, we roll hard as hell. Nobody I know who trains smokes weed. We go to war with each other and make each other better. Seems like he’s never trained BJJ a day in his life lol
