You guys ever fuck with sports conditioning? I'm doing wrestling now and find myself gassing out very easily. I'm a little older (37) and don't do what the other people do (they are young and mostly do wrestling at school.) Googling for this doesn't yield much, simply suggests weightlifting and wrestling more hours but doing this really does fuck up my body. I was running but long runs don't help me- my body can't stay in a zone 2 range when someone's trying to take me down.

Has anyone had good success with a vo2+ style programming? What do you do?

just add more cardio bro. you need more aerobic and anaerobic capacity. for wrestling try heavy sandbag work ontop of your training.

Cheers fellow wrestlerbro.
>>
>>77193898
just do the same strength and conditioning you did in collegiate weightroom, buddy

Now I mostly do swimming to get my arms involved or battle ropes but I still feel gassed pretty much immediately after hand fighting ends and I need to begin muscling for position on bottom or top. I've heard lots of this is just getting used to wrestling as it will mechanically improve my energy expendature but I almost can't even get to that point because I'm on the verge of giving up after about 5 minutes. Then you get one minute break and go back to it which I can't recover in.

What's your cardio of choice?

Cheers! Wrestling is growing stronger every day.
>>
>>77193898
air bike intervals, jump rope intervals, 400m intervals (be careful with these and warm up a lot first, they do take a bit to recover from)
>>
>>77193916
Could be bad breathing too, a lot of noobs hold their breath when they are exerting themselves and get gassed really fast.

Cardio of choice for me is rowing hands down, builds a lot of the same type of endurance you want for wrestling. I also like to ruck hike on the weekends when the weather is nice.

I have been doing weight training for many years but it's caused a problem with martial arts since starting jiujitsu. My muscles have stiffened my joints to the point where I cannot easily get into positions like rubber guard, k guard or de la riva. I can easily slam people but that's illegal at my gym and in the tournaments I go to so it's not helpful here.

try focusing on the conditioning aspect of S&C
>>
>>77193898
Part of the "just keep wrestling bro" advice is also because the better you get at it, the more you'll be able to relax your muscles while wrestling and breathe better, which will give you more stamina
I box and I wish I could say I train specifically for it, but I really don't, I don't even do roadwork (anymore) I just box
I would suggest looking into barbell complexes for stamina work, and PHA

That’s mac, a schiz who gets upset when it’s not all his threads being bumped by himself

You would unironically get a lot of benefit from tai chi

How do you know his name.
For that matter, how do all boards have schizos with names everyone just accepts.
>>
>>77193898
spam burpees

>>77194387

probably just a bot

they've been posting for years.

we've all been posting for years. It's inertia. You either filter it with the extension or just ignore it eventually.

Where do you train? And take up swimming. Low impact, full body, requisite breathe control.
>>
>>77194387

Train with kettlebells.
>>
>>77193898
Burpees for 10 minutes straight
>>
>>77194059
When I first tried to single leg someone with no training, I gassed myself out to the point of an asthma attack in like 10 seconds

After a few sessions of wrestling and bjj I quickly learned to breathe and relax

Any thread that makes the cord seethe is based

this
all that matters is increasing mitochondrial density in glycolitic and intermediate fibers
zone 2 won't do anything for you

specifically do air bike intervals, tabata or something
