Why do all of the tOSU wrestlers seem to have a much more developed upper body?

[nitlion6]

No, I'm just asking whether the upper body size of the 4 tOSU wrestlers that I mentioned was a coincidence, or a philosophical goal of their program.

Tomasello arrived looking like a 42 inch high Hercules. The Jordans are muscular athletes to start with and are now products of a very sophisticated strength training programs.

The main difference IMO is diet, hydration and proximity of competition weight to walking around weight.

They are super strong. Pointing that out, is obvious, not clear why people are reaching for other reasons. It's as simple as that: They are power lifters who out muscle their opponents. It's no magic potion.

Yes..Micah is a tough competitor. He fought like crazy but Zain really worked him over. I really respected that kid's effort.

Well, he was warned for stalling and then penalized twice for stalling. He was a beaten man in the 3rd period.

Tomasello is a strong SOB, but he also outwrestles his opponents.
Little Jordan certain wasn't outmuscling Zain today.
Big Jordan loses if there had been 1 more second on the clock in the first, 450 pound shaking knees deadlifts and all.
Myles got his muscular ass kicked in the finals.
Penn State kids dead lift and squat just like all other top programs.

I am in my 50s and can still deadlift over 400 pounds, but I sure don't look like any of those kids and if I was dumb enough to agree to a 2 minute match against Zain orJason I am simply getting my 220 pound ass kicked.

There is more to it than just the strength training.

True.
