What are some exercises or fitness drills did you do when you were training to become a wrestler? What area of fitness had the most emphasis: Strength, cardio, or dexterity, etc?

I'm also interested in this since I'm about to hit to gym to get ready for wrestling school.

I was actually kind of going to ask the same thing, since I'm in the process of writing my new fitness plan for October and was wondering how exactly wrestlers train, the cardio vs. weights balance, that sort of thing.

Honestly, the biggest, BIGGEST thing is good cardio. If you look at the scene today, you have super tiny, lanky guys like Marchie Archie, normal looking guys like Chuck Taylor, absolutely jacked guys like Brian Cage, to straight up fat asses like Kevin Steen. Any body type will work, as long as you can build a good gimmick around it. But if your cardio shape sucks, you're gonna be sucking wind by the first minute of a match. Simple things like going from a drop down to a leapfrog, or kicking your legs to sell a choke, have completely blown me up after I fell out of my running routine.

They're called blow-up drills for a reason. We usually do a ins-and outs, run the international, drop down and leap frog, and a few other drills to work on cardio.

Here's another question since, as I said, I'm gearing up for wrestling school. I know the Ziggler workout is basically upper body and cardio in one trip to the gym and then a different cardio and lower body work outs on the other. I'm roughly his size so I was thinking of doing that. Is it advisable?

You guys shouldn't ask here.
There exist tons of bodybuilding forums with plans and info from people that know what they are talking about concerning the human body
