Reviez and Knox of Farragut were throwing each other all around the room yesterday. It was quite the show. Looked like two young bulls in a ring.

Our 125, Matt Drish, can bench press 220 and was wanting to double his body weight. He also completed an Ironman in the off-season (2.5 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and a 26.2 mile run). I think he is as tough as anyone pound for pound.

Maybe we can get Drish and Meredith together for an exhibition. Just kidding.

not to bash on the topic or the bench press (im at 205 at 125 lbs btw) but does having a strong bench really help ya at all in a match? just curious....

Your bench and squat numbers are pretty but you have to admit that wrestling is a sport where a one rep max is almost completely useless. Yes, it is nice to be able to say that one can bench 500 lbs., but the most important strength is muscle endurance. Any engineers out there want to come up with a formula on this one because there is no way that anybody can say who is the strongest wrestler. McCallie always seems to have very strong wrestlers, but I rarely ever see many Father Ryan guys gassing or fatiguing. MBA seems to be very well conditioned and seem to have good muscle edurance. Does any of the Baylor wrestlers lift weights? Just curious because they always seem very slim and not too strong. Forgot about Clarksville. THey are always very, very strong but always seem to be gassin.

Bench press is just an easy number to throw around. I think that the power clean is the best wrestling lift to develop overall body strength and explosiveness. I just read an interesting article in WIN magazine that talked about a research paper that is out concerning the effect of a two day tournament on upper and lower body strength. The article talked about the % decrease per match over a two day tournament and how many wrestlers were at their weakest during the most important matches. It wasn't long enough to go into much detail but was very interesting. Basically.....

 

Wrestling training should be performed in 40 second effort with 20 second rest. This included lifting and in-season wrestling efforts. This mimics the effort/rest cycle in a college match - review your own team's tapes to find out what is optimal for your team.

 

I just thought this was interesting.

Carson Moore wrestled for me 2 years ago again benched the bar 375 times without stopping. Uri Hansen (215) broke the 2 year record last week by getting 376! And yes, he had tears in his eyes after 350. Might sound easy, but try it sometime. 45 lbs feels like 45 tons pretty quick.

[the wrestler]

got to admit that is very empressive coach. and i will have to try it sometime. they must have been trained well.
