second- consistency is the key. whenever i hear someone way they've been workout out on and of for xxxx years... that shows me that there isn't consistency. it's like the rule of compounding interest... you don't just accumulate "muscle points" for working out over the years, and can cash them in whenever you want... you keep building up muscle tissue and experience over the years, and your growth becomes exponential...
until you stop growing... at this point, youve hit a genetic potential, and assuming your diet is good, then you should hit the gear if you decide to
also, i see you're in the military... and i'm not sure if you were talking about gear for combat wrestling... or for olympic-style wrestling that you did back home. I happen to teach KravMaga and B.jiujitsu, which is what you learn in standard training, and gear isn't really going to help very much with that. I don't know much about sanctioned wrestling, but unless you are trying to bump up a class in lean weight, not sure how that'd help you either
if you are looking for BB-ing gains... then that's a diff story.
g'luck dude- take up baseline on his offer for sure
