Conditioning Considerations For Combat Sports Such As Wrestling
A wrestler since the eighth grade, I can still remember the feeling I had walking off of the mat after my first match in high school. I felt like I had gotten run over by a truck (which was ironic because I think I actually won by decision) and someone had set my lungs on fire. That burning in my lungs that I remember is very specific to the sport of wrestling. This is the standard I use to rate the difficulty of conditioning sessions to this day.
