It seems the intention and the intensity is there, just plain bad form everywhere! It looks like this video could be shot any day of the week in every gym in america? Technique is paramount, then the explosion of movement is next. But, listening to the coach in the beginning it seemed like they didn't want to correct anything? They just wanted the guys in there, but they weren't expecting to "change" anything the guys had been doing. As a 'Coach', these guys are lokking at you to make them better or at least show them the way... Just my 2 cents. Go USA!

I can really appreciate the effort that was being put out, but by no means were MOST of the athletes close to training correctly for wrestling. I only counted one maybe two @ the most that were close to training like they're suppose to. The "technique" that was used.....SUCKED! Where was the Explosiveness? Speed? & of course...TECHNIQUE!!! These will ALL transfer over to the mat. True, there are many variables in a chaotic wrestling environment, but if you don't train the kinetic chain properly, you're only setting yourself up for the risks of injury & poor performance in my opinion. The use of different implements with randomized & varied training work work a helluva alot better than what I was watching on this video. My 2 cents worth!

Sports specific training should prepare your body for sport and minimalise injury risk. By its nature sport is chaotic (many variables, more difficult to manage risk of injury). Your form (technique) should determine your function, not the other way around. Granted they need to prepare themselves for the chaotic enivironment, but less exercises with correct techique would be the way forward (then expand), otherwise you're just doing more stuff - badly! Working harder is not always the answer. But working better almost always is. - Michael Johnson. Jordan Vezina was spot on in his post on the 20th July.

It looks like a novice strength routine on crack with half ROM and poor technique. Thumbs down. A for effort, but…
