I'm droppin' some vids from my new web site, Get Wrestling Strength, but I bet you can learn a thing or two about training regardless of whether or not you wrestle. We walk around on our feet ALL freakin' day, why not use the hands instead? It's been a staple of my own training and how I train my athletes for MANY years now. It improves grip strength, overall upper body strength, shoulder stability and trunk / ab strength & stability. Look at Gymnasts, they perform countless … [Read more...]

Obviously, to describe it in a … [Read more...]
