Title: Training in wrestling shoes.
Post by: David Puddy on January 10, 2008, 08:18:10 PM: I just recently started training in wrestling shoes and its great. Way better than your training in Air Jordans.

Anyone else ever try this?

how 'bout the puffy socks, --- protect ur shins and fill out shoes if theyre a little big

head bands, wrist bands, --- im guessing u dont sweat much in the gym, if u go at all

fingerless gloves, spandex shorts, --- spandex shorts shows u exactly how big ur quads are and just like those skins pants, they prevent ur shorts getting caught on something or riding up ur ass. fingerless gloves gives better grip through the fingers, as regular gloves can be slippery, especially when chinning

fake-bake tan, --- i see more women with fake tans than i do men.

headphones, --- people need motivation to train. not everyone has the gym mentality

shaved legs, --- a guy cant shave his legs now? this is the 21st century and ur on a bbing & fitness board, where the (general) aim is to build big muscles and show them off.

haha..noticed you failed to mention the homemade spaghetti-strap tank..anyway, I think it all looks ridiculous and I would never dress or accessorize like this..I guess it's just diff. personalities..I don't have much to do with folks who try to "show-off" like this..most, I would assume, are totally insecure..therefore, I almost pity the poor fellas.. ;)

Just curious...are they the old classic "Dan Gable" shoes? I wrestled about a hundred years ago and your post brought back some memories.
