Wrestling Pre-Season Power

Intermediate 3 days/week 8 weeks Pre-season Wrestling

Eight weeks that turn off-season strength into speed and then get out of the way before camp starts. Free to load in Ægir Iron.

What this program is

Three sessions a week of hang cleans, jumps, throws and sled work. The strength is already banked; this block is about expressing it fast. Volume comes off week by week through the second block so that you walk into camp fresh rather than beaten up, which is the single most common way a good off-season gets wasted.

The taper does not touch the neck work

Everything else comes down through the second half of this program. Neck work stays at full dose right through, because a taper is the last place to cut the one thing on the page that exists to keep you healthy in the competition the taper is for.

How it works in Ægir Iron

Load the eight weeks as written, or use the Program Wizard, pick Wrestling and set the season phase to pre-season, and it will build the same shape around your own days per week and equipment. Either way the sessions land on your Program page and stay editable.

Arrive at camp fresh. If in doubt in the last fortnight, do less.
