Hey /fit/,
I need to strengthen my upper body for wrestling. I'm guessing lots of pushups, pullups, and handstands. Is this good? Or should I be doing the bench press/rows/overhead presses instead (problem - I only have a 100 lbs. barbell).

You need a STRONG core, abs and back to get good at wrestling.

shoulders and arms are secondary. work on compound lifts like these

Wrestling practice style workouts are great for conditioning, but I'm guessing you're in high school and this is the offseason, so you want to start powerlifting ASAP. I wish I figured that out earlier on in my highschool career, I only started lifting seriously the summer before senior year. I totally rocked reginonals, but got my ass kicked at state (only because I was freakishly strong and sucked at technique lol).

You exert most of your power through your lower back, having a strong core and lots of endurance is key to winning a match.
And by the way, you won't get very far against the kids who go to clinics, run 5 miles everyday, train everyday if your just oging to use a 100lb barball..

You need to be working your flat bench and standing shoulder press. The olypic lifts are great too. Go get a coppy of the book, Starting Strenght by Mark Rippetoe. Lots of good info on strength training. A whole chapter on bench, a chapter on standing press, and on power cleans.

I second this. Powerlifting, sprint work, and plyometrics should be done in the offseason, with minimal conditioning work to maintain aerobic capacity and muscular endurance.
