If you’re interested in building up strength, speed and conditioning for wrestling as quickly as possible, without weight training, gym memberships or fancy equipment, then continue reading… because this will be the most important letter you’ll read in your wrestling career.
My name is Steve Preston. I’m the world’s leading Sports Performance Specialist for Wrestlers, and author of many articles in Wrestling USA Magazine.
I’m also the creator of the original "Ultimate Wrestling Strength" program which has helped thousands of wrestlers world-wide develop strength, speed and conditioning to achieve better wrestling performances than ever before.
I’ve developed a revolutionary new body weight version of this program called Ultimate Wrestling Power, which was designed specifically to help wrestlers get stronger, faster and gain peak condition in record time – without fancy weight training equipment or expensive gym memberships.
Ultimate Wrestling Power is scientifically proven and it is endorsed by world-class wrestlers and coaches, as well as Parents.
In fact, the Ultimate Wrestling Power program has helped dozens of wrestlers from my exclusive members-only website become stronger, faster and better-conditioned than any program they have ever tried – in less time too!
The Ultimate Wrestling Power Body Weight training system is the combined result of over 6 years of University study (with an emphasis on Anatomy, Physiology, Exercise Physiology and Kinesiology), 30 years of hands-on, in the trenches strength training, more Conferences and Clinics than I care to count, and thousands of personal training clients both in-person and on-line.
It started in 1994 when I was coaching Middle School Wrestling along side of one of my good friends. I was concerned when the wrestlers were getting worn-out and fatigued half-way through their matches. They were also losing matches that they should’ve won… had they been stronger and in better condition.
I sat down and began outlining training programs that would address the weaknesses of our wrestlers so they could increase their strength, power, speed and conditioning to win more matches. Most of the wrestlers didn’t have access to fancy gyms with cutting- edge equipment… so I carefully carved out a plan that could be done with Body Weight, Partner Drills and very simple training tools.
The wrestlers I was training with body weight workouts (and simple tools) were getting just as strong and conditioned as my Personal Training clients that had access to over $300,000 of the best strength and conditioning equipment.
I knew from my personal Strength training accomplishments (I was ranked #3 in the World in my weight class for Powerlifting in 1991) that the most-important factor when designing programs was "Progressive Resistance." In order to get any athlete stronger, I needed to develop programs that would become increasingly difficult throughout the program in order to achieve the goal of improved strength, speed and conditioning.
I also knew that by selecting the right exercises, at the right time, the result would be improved wrestling performances.
Wrestling is a unique sport that is highly anaerobic in nature. That means that the training for wrestling needs to be anaerobic in nature. Jogging is aerobic, and has very little carry-over to the type of conditioning a wrestler needs. It can actually break down too much muscle tissue, leaving wrestlers tired, weak and prone to injury.
Unlike other sports where pure running speed is necessary, wrestling requires quickness on the feet without covering a lot of distance. This means that the exercises that a wrestler uses to get faster and quicker should be different than those used by athletes in every other sport.
Wrestling is a sport that requires different types of training throughout the year. The training performed during the Offseason MUST be different than the training during the Inseason. (If a wrestler tries to train the same way during their Inseason as they do during their Offseason, they will undoubtedly get burnt out and hurt).
Wrestling is very intense and requires 100% intensity for success. Many Strength Coaches who train athletes want them to ‘hold-back’ and train at a lower intensity for their sport. If you ‘hold-back’ on the wrestling mat you will get pinned really fast. Therefore, strength and conditioning training for wrestling needs to be High- Intensity in order to prepare the wrestler for the demands of the sport.
Many wrestlers cut weight in order to drop down to a lower weight class. The thinking behind this is that they can put the weight back on after they weigh- in and be as big and strong as possible in their weight class. This constant weight- cutting forces the body to ‘cannibalize’ its own lean muscle tissue for food. This leads to a weakened condition as the season progresses. Because of this, a wrestler must have just the right amount of strength and conditioning training or they will quickly overtrain.
These are the facts about wrestling and its training requirements. Most wrestlers follow the advice that they get from their coaches, who use the same methods that they got from their own coach etc. If you’re not training correctly you will never reach your full wrestling potential, and are leaving yourself open for an injury.
Over time, the Ultimate Wrestling Power body weight training system has gotten better and better. I am constantly seeking new and improved methods to turn good training programs for wrestlers into GREAT training programs. As I have worked with more and more wrestlers, I’ve learned about what works and what works BETTER. This has allowed me to put my stamp of approval on this system… as I’m confident that it is the best body weight training system for wrestlers in the World.
It didn’t seem possible that they could get diesel strength, lightning-fast speed and killer cardio from body weight training alone… all without having to train hours and hours each day, and with expensive gym equipment. But the feedback and the results speak for themselves.
Just imagine… a body weight strength and…
