rjkd12 Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Bending makes you stronger at bending. It does affect the whole upper body, so yes it would help out with most upper body things. Grappling you are always in weird configurations and whatnot, so it wouldn't hurt. Bench press really doesn't help you with grappling either, so bending wouldn't be any less. Grapplers usually use pulling muscles more than pushing, so for grappling try more back/bicep stuff and just grapple often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt. crushalot Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Bending is great for strengthening the hands and wrists. A stronger grip can only help in wrestling. Chinups are great for wrestling. When my brother used to wrestle years ago, chinups helped him tremendously. He used to do standard chinups with hands shouldler width apart and palms facing him. He got so strong at pulling from chinups, that he was able to give one of the team's best wrestlers some real competition. Best of luck with your training.

Clay Edgin Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I think a lot of what we develops specific strength, and that rarely carries over to general gym training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 makes your bending better, and give you the ability to crush skulls "only if your into that stuff,,,which I'm not"...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
