Workout Information
Weight training is essential in pro wrestling, as is muscle strength and flexibility.
Frequent workouts and cardiovascular training help you with endurance in the ring, plus your ability to recover from injury.
It takes time though, as nothing happend overnight. Proper rest and diet is a necessity. Scott used whey protein, amino acids,
creatine, and glutamine to aid in muscle recovery and growth. Workout magazines such as Ironman Magazine have great work out

Weight and repetitions: Each exercise begins with a pre exhaust set
of 20-25 with a light warmup weight. Then usually 4 sets beginning with a weight able to control for 15 good
reps. You don't want to sacrifice form for reps. Then increase weight to a weight where you can hit 10
good reps. Then increase weight until you can get a good 6-8. Then decrease weight where you can get a good 15-20 i.e.
the "burnout set". Again, do reps as long as you have good form. Remember:
Weight + Form + Reps = RESULTS!!!
