Weight Training Can Include Speed, Too

By Rob Sutter


WrestleMania XXIX had displayed a number of things to me but the biggest is that simply being strong isn't enough to make good matches. Yes, I understand that weight training is a big part of the business and there has to be a focus on appearances so that people can visually interpret these behemoths and larger-than-life figures function in front of them. My drawback, however, lies in the fact that a good number of matches involving solely strength do not work. Quickness is oftentimes the disregarded element.

If I could count off the amount of times I almost nodded off during the event, I am sure I would lose count before long. First of all, the main event of WrestleMania was John Cena versus the Rock and it was regarded as being the event not to miss. However, what I observed was nothing short of a shoddy contest as movement seemed minimal and nothing appeared to pick up until the very end. Considering that the match took up a little more than a half hour of time, one would expect better.

I think that weight training holds a great deal of importance since it allows people to compete at higher levels. People have to remain in the best shape so that they can work in the ring and not become tired in the process. The problem is that sheer power is focused on so much that speed is not looked at quite as constantly; as a result, the bout suffers. If there was a more inclusive workout, suggested by names the likes of Lorna, perhaps the contests would be more gripping.

I'm not going to make the claim that every bout that night dragged on because that wasn't the case. In fact, CM Punk versus the Undertaker was, to me, a prime example of how speed and power could mesh well to create a match worth watching. These two performers, unlike others, were entirely in sync with one another that night and it was easily one of the finer contests to watch. It definitely showed that one element alone could not carry an entire match.

Weight training is a fragile subject and one that must be approached in a careful way. Thankfully, the kinds of kettlebell regimens that have become prevalent today seem to come endorsed more than most. This is the kind of exercise that allows you to train just about every area of the body so that you do not miss a single area. If there is one thing that this regimen has taught me, amongst other things, it's that working out can be done much better than with old school free weights alone.
