Gladiators' Wrestling Club

[Bearhugger]

On May 2nd, work took me to Pittsburgh, PA. Before heading back to WV, it hit me that there was a wrestling club in PA that a few of the WV Northern Panhandle grapplers hung out at. Upon a quick inquiry, I discovered that I was only 7 miles away.

I took a detour to go watch practice.

This is a good looking club!!!!! Upon pulling in the lot, I took a picture of the sign. Some big guy asked me what I was doing there. Luckily I knew the right names to mention to then get the red carpet rolled out.

Outside of the front door were many large tires, sledge hammers and weight sleds. Upon entry, there was a parents' lounge for the moms to hang out while their sons fine tune their techniques. However, a squat rack had recently been built in the middle of the lounge and the moms were standing.

One corner was filled with Olympic bars and stacks of weights.

One wall was home for 7 chin up bars.

The practice and drilling was very efficient and focused.
