Bodybuilding Advice For Trainee Wrestlers:

In this day of age its important that as a wrestler you have a good physique and for that reason we're going to provide some very basic advice on training, nutrition and rest to help you get bigger.......

SOME GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR BODYBUILDING:

Rep range: 8 to 12
Number of sets: 3 to 4
Time in between sets: 45 seconds to one minute

NUTRITION FOR BODYBUILDING:

Try to eat at least 6 meals a day, one every two and a half/three hours. Eat at least one gram of protein for each pound of bodyweight. For example if you weigh 180lbs. you will need to eat at the very least 180 grams of protein a day, as it is protein that makes muscle grow.

REST:

It is vital that you get at least 7 hours sleep and at most 10 hours sleep each night, as it is when you sleep your muscles grow and not while your in the gym.

BASIC/BEGINNER ROUTINE 1:

To be done Monday/Wednesday/Friday:

Crunches 2x20
