oops..!

there was this wrestler at my high school, weighed 165 could put up 305 on bench.
We had some good wrestlers this is what our track record looked like:

28 League Titles
23 CIF Titles
2 State Titles
14 Top Five State Tournament Finishes
 
heh, lol, sublime u remind me of myself.

wrestled 152 sophmore year,
then i wrestled 145 junior year, was a bitch to make weight.
easily weighed around 167 in the off season at times after junior year, lol. I didnt wrestle senior year, but had I done so I would have had to wrestle 160, which woulda been fine.

ah well, wrestling is an excellent sport, forget about weight classes, just wrestle where u are at. i wish i had done that in high school, it woulda made my years a lot more enjoyable.

cutting weight isn't what it used to be...at least in michigan, they do a bf % test in mid-offseason...this determines how much weight you are allowed to lose inseason...a couple of dieting-related deaths were the cause of this decision

Current Rules Status
Following the deaths, the NCAA set a 5% body fat minimum weight limit, and the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) recommended a 7% body fat limit for male high school wrestlers. In April 2002, the sports medicine committee of the NFHS recommended a 12% body fat cutoff for female wrestlers. Both groups banned certain weight-cutting practices, such as working out while wearing plastic suits and use of laxatives. They have also discouraged excessive or unhealthy weight cutting by mandating that weigh-ins take place within 1 or 2 hours of meets and tournaments.

Jerry Diehl, NFHS assistant director and liaison to the wrestling rules committee, says that after several years of input from the wrestling coaches and the sports medicine committee, final language for the wrestling rules should be in place after the annual rules committee meeting in April 2003. Several states, including Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Virginia, Iowa, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Nevada, and Connecticut, have already established minimum weight certification programs. At its April 2002 meeting, the NFHS standardized 2-hour weigh-ins for regular and postseason tournaments and formally added the 215-lb weight class, which had been optional. (The addition increases the number of weight classes to 14.)

NCAA wrestling rules are also evolving. New to the 2002 season is a rule giving wrestlers the option of competing at a higher weight while safely losing weight to compete in a lighter division. Wrestlers must select between the one-certification or two-certification options at the beginning of the season.

and/or 1.5% a week.........that's not bad at all.............we never got below 5%, that's for damn sure..........and 1.5% a week is nother either........most of the weight you lose in season is water.........
 
i could never understand the guys that wrestled in high school. for 2 days before a meet, they'd stop eating and drinking, just cause they'd be on the edge of a weight class. how good can you wrestle when you've been running on empty for 2 days? it just didn't make sense to me at all. i'd say fuck it and keep eating. that way i'd know i could beat my opponent cause he hadn't eaten in 2 days yet i was full of energy and ready to rock.

Sublime, we were discussing your eating the other night bro. i hope you were taking notes.
