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.

When you get into this kind of business, or any which involves athletics, the nutrition suited for workouts should be seen more than just about anything else. People can work out well but I think that it takes a greater mindset to look at the way you eat and make changes to accommodate the exercise you do. It seems like this is a given and that companies such as Muscular Development would be able to easily relay this. However, there were examples in the past that made me scratch my head in wonder.

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.

However, to say that every wrestler with a seemingly out-of-shape look cannot wrestler is not entirely true. Think about men like Bam Bam Bigelow, who is known greatly for his finesse in the ring for someone of his size. You typically do not see men of his stature pull off moonsaults but he was able to execute them rather well, from what I've learned. His conditioning was unlike anyone else's and I think that he stood as one of the most legitimate monsters in the industry.

Nutrition suited for workouts are important because no matter what your body type is, you still have to keep in shape. Sometimes people will appear to look as fit as humanly possible but when it comes time for them to actually compete, they seem gassed and unable to go on without a couple of breaks. I can cite Ryback and the current version of the Rock as the two biggest offenders on the matter. Sometimes appearing like a superhero is not everything when it comes to performing in the ring.
