Russian wrestlers question

[boiledpeanuts]

Does anyone know which exercises Russian wrestler do in their training?

Do they lift weights?

 

[GCSD Fighter]

Kettlebells mainly. Girevoy.

according to pavels book naked warrior, russians use lots of high tension bodyweight stuff and kettlebells, but i think its kind of unrealistic to say that all russians train that way, just like all americans dont train the same.

kettlebells were used before, there was shortage of decent equipment.

dunno about wrestling but here min requirements for candidates in sambo national teams, so you will have a general idea

3. Squats with bodyweight barbell OR partner on your shoulders(same weight category)!: 40, 40, 40, 40, 35 reps
4. Dunno how u call it, olympic movement, barbell press standing above your head: body weight + 30 kg

are you trying to be a russian wrestler poster boy or what?

 

[grapplers gym**]

During my interviews with former soviet wrestlers they all mentioned tons of rope climbing, running hills, playing soccer and basketball for conditioning, and the use of resistant tubing (AB Bands). Very little was done with weights most of their strength and conditioning came from grappling, kettlebells, and ropes...
