with Tim McClellan, M.S., C.S.C.S.;
and Mike VanArsdale, NCAA Champ and 3X All-American at Iowa State University
All things being equal, the more explosive wrestler always wins! In this video, Tim McClellan calls on his experience training champion wrestlers at all levels, including the Olympics, to provide more than 30 exercises to build your wrestling speed and strength. McClellan begins with a brief shoulder warm-up routine and then presents injury prevention exercises for the neck and shoulder. McClellan then teaches strength and speed building in three areas: Lower body power exercises, lower body strength exercises and upper body strength. Each section contains at least 10 different exercises, with McClellan detailing the proper mechanics for each exercise step-by-step. These exercises are movement specific, meaning they emulate actions the wrestler will do on the mat … not only are you training muscles, but movements as well. McClellan also includes a valuable 7-step Guide on How to Construct a Training Program. 65 minutes. 2003.
This is sure to be a fascinating show so please join in this Saturday from 9 AM to 11:00 AM on Des Moines Sports Station AM 1460 KXNO, KXNO.Com or Takedownradio.com
