What do you truly want from the gym : Strength to help you in your wrestling endeavor? Build a muscular and aesthetic physique? Put on as much mass as you can?

We can't read your mind.

So you want to target your muscles to gain more strength then? Eat in slight surplus, good whole food and quality carbs ; brown rice, potatoes, oats, lentils, noodles so as to fuel your muscles for the training. Goes without saying proteins too.

When it comes to the gym, focus on the compounds exercises ; bench, squat and deadlift. Organize your program around those and you should train to increase your max.

5x5 and at least one or two day in the week where you aim for your max to see if you made some progress. Small incremental weights. Some days you will train at 80% of 1RM and focus on controlling the weight on the way up/down. Train both explosive and slow controlled movements.

Accessories lifts to complement the big three ; some triceps isolation (like dips) for bench/leg extensions or lunges with a barbell for squat/bent over rows for deadlift. Some arms exercises for wrestling power. Finally don't neglect cardio ; either big incline with slow pace for 30-40 mins or faster pace on normal incline for same time. It will depends on the weight you plan on reaching.
