After I graduated, my HS hired a new assistant coach. One of the moves he introduced was this and no one in GA had really seen it at the time. We turned a lot of people with this move. Hope it works for you. #Repost @jokerwrestling417 with @use .repost ・・・

Love this physical challenge idea from the Citadel wrestling strength coach. Start by everyone hangs from pull up bar, every 30 seconds do 1 pull up and return to hanging. Who will be the last one to hang on? Tag a teammate you would compete against. @Leblanc2R @CitadelWrestle

Today was a sad day, as we heard of the passing of Hoke County High School Head Wrestling coach Vernon Walworth. He impacted many lives, and was a big advocate for wrestling, especially women’s wrestling in NC starting one of the first women’s program.

Growing up, we called this move a milkshake and it has always been illegal in the NFHS rule book as long as I can remember. I have never seen it done until this years ACC championship. @PackWrestle wrestler Owen Trephan @owentrephan_ hit it on his Duke opponent.
