  • What To Do Leading Up To Weigh-In
    Grapplers Nutrition

    Water Intake, Salt Intake, and Dropping Water Weight: First, 5 days out from the weigh-in, begin drinking 2- 3 gallons of water a day and salting your food more than usual. Next, with 2 days out, begin cutting back on your water and salt. On this 2nd day drink only 1 gallon of water and eat no extra salt whatsoever. On the last day, drink no water at all until weigh in. Also, eliminate both extra salt and stay away from salty foods. The logic behind this manipulation is that the initial huge amount of water and salt intake will stimulate the body to urinate often in order to maintain an appropriate water balance. This is good as youll soon be cutting back on your water intake and salt intake dramatically  before your body has a chance to reduce urine volume. What this means is that you get rid of more water than youre taking in and youll drop a significant amount of water weight.


    Defense Soap - New Grapplers Gym Product

    DEFENSE soap is your first line of defense in fighting bacteria and fungus that can keep you off the mat and out of the competition. Developed for wrestlers, by wrestlers, DEFENSE uses natural ingredients that prevent bacteria and fungus from infecting you. We know first hand about the dedication it takes to prepare for wrestling competition. Keep yourself on the mat with DEFENSE.


    Mills/Fraser 50+ Upper Body Drills for Getting Better Faster in Wrestling

    A champion wrestler must be able to feel comfortable in Upper Body positions. In this DVD, Olympic Gold Medalist & USA National Coach Steve Fraser, and Masters World Champion and National Coach of the Year Dave Mills show 50 drills that are used at the Olympic and National Levels to prepare wrestlers.

    This video is great for all grapplers. I own it and use many of the throws and drills with my MMA athletes and grapplers.
