You gonna wrestle? Do NOT bulk. Work out hard on power to weight ratio, core, but not to add weight. You don't wanna get put in there with the bigger guys yet.

Design all of what you do for wrestling and focus on that alone. You do that and you'll be a winner. Focus + perspiration = victory.

Beginners normally pick up size and weight pretty easily but if you work for power and especially if you work core you should be able to keep the weight in check.

Talk to that wrestling coach yet?

Just work on strength and keep your calories in check and you won't grow, but you will gain strength.

I'm really glad to see you plan ahead like this. It will pay off for you when you hit the mat.

Post that workout when you get a chance. I'd like to see what he has in mind for you.

Those back and core muscles get to be way more important on the ground ... not to mention your grip.

How long is the inseam of your pants? 36" or more?

I don't see any stretching going on here. Not just warm up and warm down stretching, but something to actually increase how far you can raise your leg in a front kick. Get an old inner tube from a bike and tie a rope to it. Throw the rope over a rafter or tree limb then stick your ankle in it and pull your leg up while leaning in to it. When your knee rests on your shoulder with no arch in your back you're getting somewhere. Switch to a side stance and repeat.

The clip following is what you will be able to do if you stretch out well at your age danny. Do it now and you'll have it for life. Also, when you see guys like Penn avoid take downs with really outstanding balance that too comes from stretching out the hips. We're talking adding another 10 minutes 3x a week so that you can do this:

So lil bro. We all find some kind of technique that just sorta "fits" us. The way we are all built is very different in various ways. Not just the shape but how our musculature is able to burst, what our power ranges are at different positions, and how much energy we can expel in a movement all go into making us unique.

Techniques group together and work differently on different body types. For example, guys with no neck are notorious for being able to avoid getting choked out while lanky guys can deliver KO power from odd angles and so on.

It's always best to focus training in techniques that if they don't work you are not in one of your more vulnerable positions. Lol ... A guy with a weak chin is not going to do well working inside the pocket with upper body strikes cuz he will get chin checked on a regular basis. Taking a nap 2 min's into a fight is not known as a winning technique. The weak chin guy needs to stay outside while working his lateral movement and look for freestyle takedowns like the shoot. If you have a solid chin, then you can work inside strikes and grecko based take downs from the hip.

Have you gotten far enough into your training to see where your going with that yet?
