Can Baseball Research Make You A Better Wrestler?

One of the wrestlers I’ve worked with for a number of years is big time into baseball. In fact, he decided to not wrestle this year to allow himself more time to devote to preparing for his senior season. Regardless of whether or not I think he should have wrestled, it’s my job to ensure that he gets the best…

Single Arm Bodyweight Row

Since writing the post on Kyle Dake’s win over the 2x World Champion from Russia (Kid Dynamite At It Again!), my brain has been working overtime. Recently I was training with a long-time client.

A picture of Kyle Dake and Dickie White.

Hi, I’m Dickie (the author of this blog). Here I am with my good buddy, Kyle Dake. While he doesn't have a nice coat like me, he is pretty good at wrestling. Here's what he said about my training system:

Before I began lifting using Dickie's system my wrestling skills were getting slightly better. I've now been lifting under his guidance for more than 5 months and I have begun to dominating ALL of my competition. At first I had little faith in Dickie and his program, but now I would run into a wall if he told me I would get stronger! I know it sounds insane, but I would. The bottom line is Dickie is an expert and knows what he is talking about. If you want to defeat those kids whom you've always lost to and reach a level you never thought possible, I suggest you start lifting using Dickie's system immediately.
