Wrestling Styles & the Ideal Nutrition Suited for Workouts

By Rob Sutter


I feel like, as a fan of professional wrestling for so many years, I have a right to critique what I feel is wrong with the business. Overall, I enjoy the spectacle and I would not trade it for anything else in the world. Having said that, though, I couldn't help but see that nutrition suited for workouts are not always seen in this line of work. This could result in a number of factors, whether it's a slew of flabby appearances onscreen or slower matches due to a lack of tonnage.

When it comes to just about any athletic line of work you can think of, you can be certain that the nutrition suited for workouts should be seen no matter what. It's understandable that people can work out all the why want but the changes made to one's diet should accompany the exercise you go about. Companies the likes of Muscular Development can tell you just how well these elements go together. That being said, the examples displayed in wrestling's past caught my attention.

Many fans of the late 90's to the early 2000's would call Matt Hardy one of those stars who revolutionized tag team wrestling but not everything was rosy later on. It was clear that physical troubles started to come about and he did not appear as fit or trim as he once was. It also appeared as though his match quality fell and I would like to accredit this to an apparent lack of gym time. He needed to take care of himself and he didn't do well there.

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.
