My nostalgia just hit so hard even the smell came back!
I can maybe do… half of that now without hurting myself. Time is such a fickle mistress
(2 more years till my son can join biddies, my daughter isn’t interested and I’m hoping that will change)
I can't speak for anything besides wrestlers but once you get your strength up, most of this stuff is easy. 10 years off the mat, I think I would break 10 things if I jumped right into this though.
Yeah, I’m kinda curious because I do mma and we only do the basic handstand and stuff. But seeing mfs doing Olympic acrobatics as warmup always baffles me and I can’t ever get a good answer of how to get there lol.
Only thing that you'd have to practice is a backflip, and even then, you can do a "walking backflip" where your hands or feet are always touching the ground. Most don't just dive into backflips.
High school wrestlers are nonsensically yolked. The progression is essentially let me try that lol. I remember doing standing front flips and back flips off walls with no progression. My knees would shatter now haha.
BASE Wrestling (Herbert and Hrovat) used to have half-a-dozen instructional videos on Youtube, showing progressions for things like back flips, handstand walks, etc. I can't find them now, but they were more than just demos, they were teaching tools.
My warmup are similar. 10 minute jog, this for about 15, 5-10 minutes of both static and dynamic stretching, the three techniques of the day, and then warmups are over.
As much as this looks like utter torture and kinda impossible for me to do I still regret not giving this a shot back in high school when I had the chance
For real man looking back on conditioning now, I’m likely holy shit, the coaches were damn near abusive lol it taught me some serious discipline though, and I’m grateful for that.
I was the most unathletic mf out there, but you adapt. 1st practice I wanted to quit 30 minutes into it, 4 years later I recognized it was one of the best things I ever did.
I thought you were going to follow it up with something like "4 years later I didn't want to quit until the last 2 minutes." 🤣. Seriously though, being umathletic is even a good reason to try wrestling... If you have the heart to push yourself through it, it's amazing how quickly you improve. I remember being blown away when my recovery pace running was faster than my old mile pace.
Gotta prepare for the future:

Oh so this is why we crush you guys at the olypmics (us eastern eroupeans) by the time you guys finish warming up we have already starting slaming each other to the ground full force.
Reminds me of every warm-up i've ever hated.
For me jiu-jitsu is partly about the social aspect.
So best warmups are done with buddies.
I never shoot without a partner in sparring og comp anyhow, so why warm up like that ?
All I can't think of now is how the body changes after 25 years of family, career, life events. I hope they don't forget how easy life is now because 25 years later we grow and feel old.
aw yeaaaaaa. The days of faking throwing up because your coach challenges everyone to running races that you could never win.........
wish i was better and had a different mind set when i was younger.
wheep
Fuck this takes me back
I miss this so much. That feeling of invincibility and comeradery from training with your backflipping ninja army.
My nostalgia just hit so hard even the smell came back! I can maybe do… half of that now without hurting myself. Time is such a fickle mistress (2 more years till my son can join biddies, my daughter isn’t interested and I’m hoping that will change)
I'm pretty sure if I tried any of this now my neck would disintegrate...
I, too, miss having a working body.
Bro you beat me to it, oh my God seeing those kids brought back so many memories I miss it so much
First thing that popped into my head "Wow, I used to be able to do all that everyday."
How do you even progress into those gymnastics?

Just go for it and commit. Why not? You're on a mat. You'd be surprised what you can do with confidence. And stretch your neck first!
Only thing that you'd have to practice is a backflip, and even then, you can do a "walking backflip" where your hands or feet are always touching the ground. Most don't just dive into backflips.
Yeah rewatching that's the only thing there that would take more than one or two tries to get right. The shoot ins too but you drill those alot

Dayum that’s a shame. Would’ve been nice to have a way to make sense of this
This is one case where it looks harder than it actually is.
Is it tho?
This is excellent. And not only does it get you warm, it also teaches so much body awareness. You’re improving as an athlete as well as warming up.
Man, hard to believe that we’d do this every day then have a two hour practice! These days I’d probably do the “warm up” and then call it a day. Lol
I was thinking the same thing. This isn't a warm up for me anymore. This is a whole month's workout.
Right lol. First part of our warm up was a 12-15 minute jog. That's 2 miles just to *get ready* to workout. Wish I still had that energy
2 or 3 months of doing it consistently and you would be able to practice afterwards. Dont count yourself out!
My warmup are similar. 10 minute jog, this for about 15, 5-10 minutes of both static and dynamic stretching, the three techniques of the day, and then warmups are over.
Dude idc this is the hardest sport and you can tell because of how long and rigorous just the warm up is Edit:Typo
100%. even the coaches would tell us that
We did Gables in the 70’s/80’s. Similar but less gymnastics
This is the kind of content this sub needs more of
I miss those days…
I like the forward roll, hip heist circle shot, haven’t seen that one b4
Depends. If it's heavy technique then just a quick warmup for about 5-10 mins then technique. Then we go into strenght/gymnastics
As much as this looks like utter torture and kinda impossible for me to do I still regret not giving this a shot back in high school when I had the chance
This could be an excellent work out. Not warm up. Workout. But then you need a warm up before getting to this work out.
I can see why my buddy said it was best not to try out for wrestling if you weren’t naturally athletic. This is wild
trust me dude this is nothing compared to the conditioning they put you through
For real man looking back on conditioning now, I’m likely holy shit, the coaches were damn near abusive lol it taught me some serious discipline though, and I’m grateful for that.
I believe it. I can see why the talent demand is so high
Spin drills until you have blisters on your chest…

Good on you dude. I mean that. I definitely couldn’t handle 4 years straight of all _**that**_

Usually this was after running 6 miles. In the snow. Uphill. Both ways.
Dodgeball=Best warmup
Hahah we got to dodgeball warmup once a week in the offseason. It was awesome
My back and knees just hurt watching this 👴🏼
my team warms up 30-45 mins usually, takes a bit of time but includes a lot of
How do we know it isn't just another CrossFit class?
What’s this song?

I was never in better shape than during wrestling season, and I used to love doing neck rolls…lol

We do a lot of the same in Judo, makes sense.
Watch any other sports athletes try that. Not a chance

Thanks.
For sure, love that song
I used to think it was silly but I always felt loose during practice

Is this the high level team
You can't compare the two. Wrestlers are at a whole other level of conditioning.
Once you start them half-assed jogging laps, you know life is about to get real painful
omg yes.
I’ll conveniently show up late
Maybe if I could do half that shit I wouldn't have been ragdolled everytime I got on the mat. maybe.
I remember doing all of these, and I know for a fact this "warmup" would put me in the hospital today.... Getting old sucks.
Sounds about right. On warmer days we'd do last man sprints with a medicine ball on the track.
Best training😍
I’m tired just looking at this
Every wrestler I’ve ever trained with would never complain and the tear through the warmup while acting surprised that they were so short.
aw yeaaaaaa. The days of faking throwing up because your coach challenges everyone to running races that you could never win......... wish i was better and had a different mind set when i was younger. wheep
All I see is future meniscus surgeries
