Played soccer, football, and wrestling in high school.

Wrestling was easily 5x harder than soccer. Soccer was easily 3x harder than football.

Wrestling practice was just 3-4 hours of grueling hell.

Football practice was just boring. There was so much standing around with bursts of strenuous activity.

And now you enjoy rolling around in bed with groups of men. We get it.

Throw in lifting and roadwork before/after practice or on the weekends...

Lol for summertime vacation—all day, week long seminars ������ sleeping in a sleeping bag on bleachers in the BB court and Greco tourney every weekend. Lots of roadwork, lifting, etc.
came to say this

wrestling with people trying to kill you for 3 hours a day is rough

Wrestling. Coach in hs would turn the heat on in the room and make the wrestlers run circles. Constantly doing cardio then lifting weights. Football could suck ass too, but it depends on your position

It was either the United Special Operations command or the Army special forces were looking for ways to find recruits that were able to complete special forces training in greater percentages. They were wasting too much money on candidates that couldnt complete training......Where did they decide to start recruiting, high school and college wrestling teams....

No other sport is even close in terms of intensity, mental toughness and physical difficulty..

Wrestling practice was intense as **** but I gotta be honest, nothing sucks more than running

Oh and swimming laps is exhausting as hell too but mostly because I wasn’t used to it. And it can’t ever suck as much as running because at least you’re in cool water.

I'm just loling hard at every "football" answer ITT.


Thats probably one of the less grueling ones. And don't interpret me wrong, I like football.




If you can play a sport for YEARs and still have this body:










... thats not grueling.

I heard manlets are harder to hit because they make for a much smaller target.

I've played every sport, but the hardest for me was swimming by a long shot. The amount of cardio you need is ridiculous, the practices were long, and we were a ranked team so we all were pushed hard. We'd have practices where we'd swim for 2.5 hours straight, no breaks. We weren't allowed to hang on the walls/bulkheads or anything, we had to tread water for the entire 2.5 hour practices. We also did a lot of water polo for conditioning, but the worst was the specific swim conditioning we'd do. Swim underwater for 25 meters without breathing, get out, do 10 push ups, another 25 meters underwater, 10 situps, etc. We'd do dolphin kicks where its you had to tread water with your hands above your head in the 20 foot deep part of the pool. Then we had to do 50 50's on the 50. Essentially swim 50 meters and rest every 50 seconds, 50 times. If you swam it in 30 seconds, you get 20 seconds of rest, and then you start again. The faster you finish the more rest you get, but it gets brutal after 30. Then on Saturday mornings 7AM in the Winter, you're at the pool, smells like chlorine, you haven't eaten yet, and then you jump into the pool which is ice cold and robs you of your breath. The mental toll too is probably the worst. You're just staring at the bottom of the pool for 2.5 hours, while breathing while water fills your mouth, and if you drink too much water on your rest you get cramps.

I've done baseball, football, lacrosse, hockey, wrestling, soccer, tennis, track, cross country, volleyball, and a few others. Swimming by FAR was the most physically and mentally draining sports I've ever done in my life. Wrestling comes in at a close second, but I found it to be easier than swimming.

Rowing is a lot more painful than swimming.

Also, towers have some of the highest VO2 Max records ever.

Wrestling is horrible for sure, but running as a competitive sport is pretty horrible too, especially crazy interval workouts.

****. That post was messed up. Meant to say rowers have some of the highest VO2 Max scores ever recorded.

Which sport do you think?

The thing with wrestling is it isn't just cardio

isn't just endurance

isn't just strength

isn't just diet

isn't just weight cutting

isn't just the 3 hour practices of balls to the wall trying to kill each other

it's everything put together into the training / practices and it's also basically year long

I challenge any of these miscer's who haven't wrestled before to try a practice with college athletes at the lowest level that are in the 140-180 lb weight divisions. you can weight 250 if you want. you'll get smoked and wrecked and be begging for mercy and sucking air in 15 minutes lol

Tbh I think this thread is kinda stupid. Every individual sport is going to be horrible if you give everything you have every day to achieve the best possible performance cuz you will be going for your physical and mental limit.

Coletive sports are a completely different story.

That's a good point. I wouldn't say that group/collective sports are easy, either--football practice is brutal! And people on teams push each other.

So it's confirmed. The gayest sports are the hardest to train for.

Wrestling (not the cool wwe kind, the gay kind)
Water polo
Track & field
Swimming

Don't know about football, but in a lot of other colective sports (soccer for example), they just don't give a fuk. Its common to see players smoking/drinking alcohol the day before a big game. It is not acceptable, but it is common. Not to mention the majority of them don't even follow a diet.

Wrestling

Swimming sucks while you are doing it but you don’t get injuries that you have to deal with really. Been forcing myself back into the pool to condition for upcoming bjj tournament and there’s nothing I dread more then pool sprints after my first couple are done and I’m gasping for breath but force myself to sprint another 50.

Been doing 200 warm up
2 100 sprints 30sec rest
4 50 sprints 30sec rest
6 25 sprints 10second rest
30second rest

Than 200im

Then 400 warm down
