So I used to wrestle and have been getting back into it slowly last year. I know my body is not what it was I'm about 88kgs and used to wrestle at 66kgs. I doing the big 3 at home and when I have been getting into my wrestling I seem to injure my back within about 2 months of training. I always hoped deadlifts and squatting would kind of keep me strong but it doesn't seem to be preventing me hurting my back. Its not always the same place on my back its upper and lower. I always end up wrestling bigger guys in sparring and I feel like that definitely plays a part in getting the injuries.
Are deadlifts and squats actually helping? Should I lose weight and wrestle the midgets? I'm not fat but could lose about 5 kgs. Does anyone have any good exercises that will translate well to protection for my spine in wrestling?
