Wrestling Styles & the Ideal Nutrition Suited for Workouts

By Rob Sutter


I believe that when you're a fan of something for a certain length of time, you're allowed to critique what you feel is out of the ordinary. This is what the case seems to be in terms of professional wrestling for me. I am a fan of the spectacle but even so I can't begin to tell you just how many factors irritate me. Nutrition suited for workouts seems to be one of the factors that come into play more than others and it often results in matches coming off lazy, showing a total disregard for fans' entertainment.

In the slew of jobs that call for people to be athletic, nutrition suited for workouts will be one of the most vital points of all. Exercise can easily be done by anyone who has even a modicum of physical strength but it takes mentality to comprehend the importance of diet changes. These alternations come recommended by authorities like Muscular Development, which support robust exercise. There are examples in wrestling history which failed to follow this mindset which, on the surface, appears to be quite simple.

Matt Hardy, once one of the pioneers of what tag team wrestling could be about, slowly sank in terms of value. There were personal and physical matters which impeded him and he let himself go to an extent. It seemed like he didn't care about going to the gym as much anymore and his match quality suffered as a result. I believed that he was one of the better grapplers but it was almost like these changes caused him to become lazy in the ring.

This isn't to say that all wrestlers who have out-of-shape appearances are necessarily so. For instance, Bam Bam Bigelow was not one of the wrestlers who had the bodybuilder physique and yet he could move quite fast, pulling off moonsaults as if he were two hundred pounds lighter. Sometimes wrestlers have these looks on purpose in order to appear like monsters. As long as they can wrestle for reasonable stretches of time, it should be an indicator of their physical conditioning outside of the ring, too.

Nutrition suited for workouts should be found in just about any wrestler's regimen. While I'm not going to deny that some focus on aesthetics should be present, I feel like it's important for these athletes to stay in shape in all facets so that they can actually produce results in the ring. The matches that Ryback and the Rock competed were either very short or too extensive for their own good. I'm all for larger-than-life figures in this profession but they shouldn't take precedence over legitimate ability.
