“Victory Goes Over The Bridge!” – That was a favorite saying of the great wrestler Karl Gotch and the above picture shows why. Mr. Gotch has just caught his opponent in his finishing move, “The German Suplex” which is both devastating and near unstoppable, and the only way you can add this move to your repertoire would be to learn to bridge properly: nose to mat.

And even if you don’t have any interest in stepping in the ring, a steady diet of bridge work is still a very good idea to build strength in the upper body and neck areas.
