It was a great weekend for the Big Red. We had a doubleheader on Saturday, starting with a 1 p.m. match at Hofstra, and then culminating in a 6 p.m. Ivy League faceoff at Columbia. Over the course of the day, our guys only gave up eight offensive points.
For those of you who have [...]

Teaching Drills for Improving the BIG THREE: Part 3 Deadlift Drills
By John Gaglione
The Stick Good Morning
The Stick Good Morning is a great exercise to teach the deadlift. Many of the principles learned for the squat hold true for the deadlift as well. The athlete wants a tight upper back, brace abdominals, they want to [...]

Another great article, very well thought out plan!
Coach E – Did you guys lose to Locust Valley?
This is from left field. I guess you heard of the famous match where my good friend wrestling at 105 as senior caught a very good wrestler from LV I believe it was Pigeon?(spelling may be wrong.) If they wrestled 1000X it was likely the only time it would have happened. It did and we won. Why do you ask?
Actually Coach Ellinger, you have it slightly wrong. It wasnt not Rich Pidgeon from Locust Valley that was stuck. I wrestled Pidgeon that night and lost to him 2-1(You never forget the guys/scores of the people you lost too). Ricka wrestled a guy that he stuck . It was truely a one in a thousand win for Ricka.
Ok thanx for the correction. It was a great match, but as it turns out it was not what the person was asking. It was someone trying to bust my chops about BJFK losing to LV this year. I did not realize that the match even took place because I was away. They did not know that I was not coaching at Belmore this year. When I read the question the “famous” match was the only thing I could think of as we (BJFK) did not wrestle LV when I was there. Anyway you should have beat that bird ! LOL
ok, im new to your website, but am very impressed with what i have been reading. although this is a little off topic, i think i would like your point of view. Im sure there are many women out there thinking the question im about to throw at ya. I was very serious about my work out routine, even amature weight lifting and body sculpting. have to say over the past 5 years or so, time restricted me from the gym and my routine. now what was hard muscel is mush. where do i start to get back to where i was with such a full schedule
Hey cat, yea this is a slightly different question then I usually get! From what you wrote, if you were doing some serious weight lifting you probable have some pretty good knowledge of what a good hard work out should be? I would have to ask if you read my articles TRAIN and THE PROGRAM ? What were you old work outs as compared to these? What I am getting at is did you do the big lifts i.e. Squats, Bench Press, Pull Ups. etc.? Most females make the mistake of not hitting these movements. While some modifications have to be made do to body structure and the ability to add muscle/recover. for the most part, ladies will see much greater results on a real program.
The thinking that “I don’t want to look like a female Bodybuilder” is nothing to worry about. Unless this is your specific goal and you want to dedicate your time , effort and add some Performance enhancing Drugs, it is not going to happen. With that being said, you have to sit down and ask yourself some questions.
How much time do you have to train?
What are your goals?
Do you need someone to push you?
where do you plan on training?
Then you can make a plan. In reality training does not take much time. Like everyone you need to come back SLOW! Don’t expect miracles over night, but good results can happen over a short period of time if you are consistent.
On another note, This is one of the benefits of our gym. We have training for EVERYONE. In the past, parents and relatives have joined the gym to work out while the athletes where also working out. SO if you or anyone else is in a situation like this it can be a win-win proposition. I hope this helps and if you have more questions let me know. Good luck; Coach Ellinger
Coach Ellinger; I have to congratulate you on the impact you are having on the wrestling community. As one can clearly see, wrestlers and coaches from across the country are starting to use your system.
You need to copyright this stuff so that you get your fair share ($$$$$$).
Wrestling Fan- Thank you, I am glad to see that people are reading and using my stuff. I feel we are offering the best training and advise on training you will find. I hope to continue to push are training to even greater levels in the future as we work on some new things.
Yea Roy thanks for the advise. If I could only find a better way to make $$$$$$$$ on my ideas I would be golden.
