Week 7 - Day 6

  • Physical work:

    • On your own day - I recommend watching a yoga video on YouTube to work on your flexibility.  You could also get another workout in, play outside, shovel snow, chop wood, help your parents do some work around the house in your stance. Get creative and have some fun, but be intentional about getting better at wrestling!

  • Mental work:

    • Watch two college wrestling matches around your weight.​  Go to Flo or YouTube and type in "College Wrestling _____  Pounds."

    • While watching the matches, keep an eye on their stance, hand movements, toughness, and overall wrestling IQ (Knowing when to get out of bounds, let go of a leg to avoid stalling, etc.) See both the good and bad decision they make.

    • Toe Tap/Touch Game: 5 rounds (30 seconds on and 30 seconds off) - Both of you will be on your feet with your hands behind your back and your objective will be to step on your partner's foot.  Try to keep score.  You can also have one partner on their hands and knees trying to touch your feet with their hands.  Try to work on being light on your feet and circling.  Refer to video from Week 2 - Day 4 here.

    • Partner 4-Way Neck: 3 sets of 10 reps each way.

      • Get in referee's position with your partner straddling you.  1. The standing wrestler needs to push down on your head giving you resistance while you shake your head yes (chin to chest and back up). 2. Straight into moving your head right to left, left to right.  Have your partner stand to your side and push on the side of your head giving you resistance to move ear to shoulder. 3. Switch sides. 4. Back in the straddle position, lock fingers together, place hands on your partner's forehead and pull up.  Shake your head up and down like in Step 1. 

    • Partner Neck Push Ups: 3 Sets of 10 reps each side. 

      • Get in referee's position in a solid base. Your partner will put one hand on your head and the other on your shoulder and do 10 push ups. After the 10 reps, switch sides and repeat another 10 reps. To increase difficultly, make sure your hand is on the top of the head.  To make this easier, slide hand closer to the neck or base of skull.

        • If you want to really push it, hit 10 each side and then have your partner put both hands on your head out front and hit 10 push ups. 

  • Leg Blast: 3 rounds of 25 reps each workout.  1-2 minutes of rest after third exercise between sets.
