I'm 24, a college sophomore, and ~175-180 pounds. I can bench press my weight, with maybe a few pounds tacked on. I have weird-rear end GSP legs and can squat like 375 or so regularly. Never tested my max, but I'd probably be able to hit 400. Anyway, I 'm considering switching schools, and the new one has a Div 1-AAA wrestling team. I want motivation to get in shape (having a kid has tacked roughly 20 pounds onto me), and wrestling looks interesting. I have minimal BJJ experience and somewhat extensive combatives experience within the Army. My only experience with wrestling is back suplexing the only kid my weight (some 115 lb nerd) in high school from the side position and pinning him. What is the best way to not embarrass myself. Feel free to ask anything you need to determine why I should not attempt this, ever. edit: after some reading, apparently squatting that much is a good thing. I was not aware. This is my level of knowledge regarding gym equipment and weight things Save Russian Jews fucked around with this message at 06:02 on Feb 14, 2011 |

the periodic fable posted:gonna guess you start to move around less, eat more, eat worse things, eat more irregularly, less time for hobbies (training) etc I'm a stay-at-home dad, and money's been tight lately, so when some Albanian chick blew a red light and demolished my car, we were stuck with just my wife's. I've been sitting around without working out regularly (gym maybe 1x a week, no cardio) for like 6-9 months, and eating terribly because meal times aren't really defined when the kid is running about. Coitus_Interruptus posted:Just go ahead and try it. There is pretty much nothing you're going to do that wont be embarrassing, some of those dudes will have been wrestling since they where like seven years old. yeah, that's what I'm figuring. I'll be the token old dude who is not good for a while, and after a montage set to some 80s music I'll be in top form for The Championship Match™

I originally planned to say something about Jacare being a badass, thinking he just held out in an armbar with a broken arm for like 10 seconds. Seeing him Starnes about for a long-rear end time changed my opinion.

Fitness Expo is where I say I'm going when I don't want my fat cousin to tag along with me somewhere

Grab Your Foot! posted:Man I'm like 80% deep half guard and people still ask me how much I weigh, which is instrumental to the process of having you on top of me. I use this exact method at bars
