Anyone here got any advice for me?

I just joined wrestling practices..the season starts in 4 weeks, championships are in February. I've never bene on the mat before in my life, this is my Senior year, and I plan to bust my ass and make it to States.

I've been working out 2 - 4 times a week since mid summer, so currently I'm the strongest person on our team, so I have that to my advantadge, but I know absolutely no moves when it comes to wrestling other than what I've learned in 2 days of open mat.

I'm continuing to work out, sometimes twice a day. Going to practices every day and doing jogging outside of practice to help build up my cardio, which is pretty weak right now.

Also continuing my diet that's based largely on proteins and simply eating constantly, and large amounts. Healthy stuff though, no doritos and candy bars or pop. Weight isn't a big problem with me, I have a good metabolism, it's hard ot gain weight for me. I'm at 204 currently, was 218, so I'll wrestle in the 215 class as I have extremely little fat on me.

I'm looking for any good advice you all have. Sites with wrestling moves explained, words from past experience etc...anyhting. I've set some high goals for myself, but I know I wouldn't be satisfied with anything less. I damn well mean to acheive this too. Thanks in advanced.

What state are you from?

I too am a senior and will be starting my fourth year wrestling. All I can say is work hard, eat right, stay strong and be prepared mentally. Everything will seem really wierd to you for the first few weeks but stick with it, its a rewarding experience.

can't help but say that OhioU (Athens) > OSU :D

but now that that's out of the way.... osu has an awesome wrestling program. if you ever see a huge guy there that looks like his nose has been broken a dozen times and goes by the name Mark, you might wanna talk to him - it's probably Mark Coleman, former Buckeye wrestler and former UFC Heavyweight champ :D

the only suggestion i can make is in regards to your diet. tons of protein is always good, but you might want to do some research and start eating lots of greens that'll put more oxygen into your blood.

Yeah, I'm working on that. Ate a plateful of carrots and cucumber today at Cici's. My school is retarded though, a little plastic tray of ****ing, like 8 carrots and 5 pieces of cucumber is 75 cents, but chips and nutty bars are 40 cents, and all this after making major changes like no salt at lunch for State health reasons. It's really stupid.

Also, getting lots of sleep is important fo rmuscles to hear, correct? That's something else I'm trying to improve.

    • First NVIDIA-powered Windows laptops reportedly debut next week

      By cyberhash · Posted

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍

      Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
