10:37 I remember seeing that Nikki Roberts match live on FLO! i was a freshman too just like zain and he inspired me alot to try and reach the next level in wreslting, seeing an unkown freshman upset the #1 kid in the country at his state tournament. Rest in peace to the legend Nikki Roberts! salute to zain (ps. im a hawkeye fan)
Great Video About Zain I Had The Privilege Of Getting to Watch Him Wrestle At D-4 Williamsport All 4 Years And Than Going To Hershey For States More or Less His High School Career It Was Awesome It Was Poetry In Motion I Wish You Much Luck With Wrestling In The Future Go Bring Home That Olympic Gold We Will Be Cheering For You And The Rest Of Americans Best of Luck In Life We Are Penn State ✌️
Great interview. Back in the day when we watched tv in the evening as a family I would drop down and do as many push ups as possible during commercials. It definitely made a difference both in my strength and stamina. I picked college football and baseball over wrestling. To this day I regret that decision. I should have accepted the wrestling scholarships. I coach now and thoroughly enjoy it.
@Jordan Babcock yes Jordan I guess you'd be right about that ? It's basically the volume of 1000 reps boggles my mind, the guy who commented below says it was actually 1000x. 3 times a week which still is freak amount of reps but at least recovery can occur
explains his cardio. I never saw him get tired and in an interview, he said "well, it's sort of something you have control of, so it shouldn't be a problem". Or something along those lines.
I dont believe it. 1000 reps would take at least 8 hours if he somehow kept a steady pace. Wrestlers are known to add a little salt to their workout numbers.
Most overrated wrestler in the history of the NCAA. He had zero competition in his weight classes at the end of his career. When he did have competition he finished fish. Bum.
Cant say he had no competition when he’s a National Champ. Everyone’s he competing was at the Division 1 Level. He was that good of a wrestler he dominated.
Zain ... and his family ... is a class act ... always have been ...
I stopped watching to go rewatch the Cadet World Championships match and The Steiber match. Great interview!
Zain is one of my all time favorite wrestlers

Great interview. I appreciate your prep. Solid questions. Thanks for having Zain on. Always curious about such a champion.
Our pleasure!

Man, I really like that "don't zoom in on it" and "pluck it out like a weed"
This podcast series is a treasure trove

Great podcast! I too went back and watched the steiber match. Sent to my son to watch! Keep doing great things!!!
Excellent interview.
The Zain Train 💪🇺🇸💪
awesome pod man!
Thats a future Olympic Gold Medalist peoples
I hope that can happen, but at what weight?
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 awesome
Good kid.
i did 1000 push ups and 1000 dips and pull ups
Hughes brothers were asics all americans!!!!
Great wrestler but is 1000 pushups a day a bit excessive?
Ask his NCAA championship belts SON! Different approach for different folks but it got him to where he wanted!
3x a week actually

A complete hammer he beat the crap out of people

sounds like an Iowa whiner
He beat Logan Steiner as a freshman
Go try and beat the guys he beat and then talk 😂
