    None. But I’m talking about when they get together in camp. It’s more like six separate practices. The women have way more training as a team from my understanding.

    What is a functional lift? The term is used often, but I’m not sure of a scientific definition Despite there not being much “shoving” in wrestling, you need to build up the pectorals and other muscle groups to 1) Prevent muscle imbalances 2) Build up strength to resist gut wrenches, arm bars, half Nelson’s, etc. Having strong pecs is a foundation of solid defense against turns.

    Russians!

    Says the guy who claims that lifting doesn’t make one stronger.

    Try this out: Do a max bench this week fully hydrated. In a month cut 20 lbs. See how much you can lift. Maybe do a similar test with a one mile run.

    Until China adds Hong Kong and Taiwan’s 4 golds and claims victory. It’s coming.

    And you literally say you had to cut more weight. That drains strength. You would have felt much stronger at 184 or 197.

    Thanks for acknowledging the “combination “ approach. I disagree with a lot of this video . I actually had conversations with noted eastern bloc exercise scientist Tudor Bompa and he would also disagree.

    I don’t know why an OT is needed. After about the halfway point of every international match, someone is always winning. They are never tied.
  11. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Absolutely scientifically untrue. You dieted your strength and muscle mass off that’s all. If you run west side and then catabolize and dehydrate all your gains away you wasted your time. Louie Simmons would tell you the exact same thing. The optimal would be a combination of strength training and sport training. Heavy lifting and wrestling combined.

    Ok I’m fine with that. I thought the Uzbek wrestled Asian championships as a cadet. I have no problem calling him a Russian if he is from Russia. I do have a problem calling lifelong Uzbeks and Kazakhs or Georgians or Kyrgyzstanis “Russians.”

    He was big for sure.

    Also, Dake has a bottom three gas tank on the team, is built like a gorilla, and his fictional patterns training is pseudo -science. Dake built all of his mass with conventional lifting, there are videos of him doing squats, benching, etc at Cornell. Snyder never gasses, despite being extremely muscular and strong.

    Brooks doesn’t even lift, bro.

    Calling them a “bronze club” is unfair.
  17. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Comprehension skills: when you call non-Russians “Russian” and die on that hill. Makes sense to me!

    Love Steiners measured approach and positive attitude. Seems to be a great leader.

    I think a good performance, but probably a long way to go. I remember an interview with Adeline 2-3 years ago. She said the US would lose to the Japanese 2nd string. This was borne out at a recent World Championships when Japan sent their #2s and win convincingly. Adeline seemed to think our #1s might match up favorably with Japan’s #3s.

    What happened to you resigning?
  21. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Weird. You literally said he wrestled four Russians. He wrestled one. Perhaps in your view of the world 1=4. Not mine.
  22. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    No. You don’t get to make that choice. They probably: 1. Are not ethnically Russian 2. Never lived in Russia 3. Never even lived in the Soviet Union Uzbeks and Kazakhs. It appears he wrestled one Russian I mean, a lot of ignorance going on. You thought Japanese were Russians 15 minutes ago
  23. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    I worked with a family of Uzbek wrestlers. They would be extremely angry if called Russians. You know.., gulags, forced relocations, etc. “From a former Soviet republic, yes… definitely not Russian.”
  24. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    Japan.
  25. Interviewed_at_Weehawken
    I definitely agree that there are more Russians wrestling for different countries. (Bahrain, Serbia, etc) Brooks is a bad example though. Ishiguro is definitely Japanese. Magomedov is definitely Russian. (Well, Dagestani) I don’t know enough but the others may have grown up in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Former Soviet republics , yes … but not in their lifetimes.
