Heres a video I stumbled across of the Iowa wrestling team preparing for the NCAA championships. This is a weight lifting day.

Some people may criticize their form but you can't criticize the intensity... or the results. Iowa won nationals. For those who do not know, Iowa is a perennial wrestling powerhouse that consistently produces world and olympic wrestling champions.
Wrestling builds tremendous strength, quickness, flexibility, and kinesthetic awareness. Most of these guys probably need very little training beyond their daily mat work, not to mention the farmer strength most of them probably acquired working on the farm. It's pretty impressive to see 145 lbs guys throwing around 1.5-2x their bodyweight no matter what the form looks like.
