I guess in wrestling, both strength and endurance (and of course technique) is important. But the catch there is that you also want to keep your weight down. I used to wrestle for a little bit, so I guess I've gotten used to that mentality. Also, I'm not trying to "look better." Just trying get stronger and increase endurance. I've been doing upperbody lifting to gain strength and I've been doing endurace stuff for my legs. I'm not trying to lose weight either, I'm content staying the same or gaining. I think what I'm trying to say is that I'd like to get more dense.
On a side note, after I stopped wrestling, I tried to gain weight for a few months. I gained maybe 5 lbs in two or three months and didn't think it was worth it. I'm the kind of person who would never ever take supplements so I just kept eating a lot of meat (chicken mostly). It was very taxing on my wallet so I went back to my "regular" diet.
Thanks for the suggestions so far!
