If you can pick up a cheap dummy bag somewhere, you can create a million different wrestling specific conditioning workouts. First hand, long runs, sprints, all of these things don't really transfer that well to wrestling. It's a different movement pattern.
I will not claim possess a vast knowledge about what is best, but the explosiveness from sprinting translates well into wrestling. Getting your heart rate up is key for conditioning.

Where did you hear that sprints don't translate well?

[quote]Sprinting will help with explosive take downs, plus its the best kind of conditioning you can get other than a real match or a VERY intense practice. It is also great for your mind, because you learn how to work and focus while being extremely tired.
This last one is simply another post from the BB forum but it mirrors how I view sprinting as well.
