4 Tips on Picking a Weight Class

In this video I go over my Tips for picking a weight class all my weight cutting tips should be taken with a grain of salt but everything has worked for me that I advise

[@andrewgahner2897]

5’9 freshman 160 cutting to 152

[@jesseheard]

My senior year I was 5'10 175 lbs. (Now I'm 5"11 and in between 175-180 and no longer wrestling) For those who are new to wrestling in middle or high school: Wrestle your closest natural weight. My first year of wrestling I was 5'8 140-145lbs. I should have wrestled 138 but my stupid brain thought it would be a good idea to cut down to 132. That doesn't sound like much but believe me. When you have no residual strength at all and aren't tkening strength or conditioning classes and solely relying on technique, Cutting below 1 weight class below your natural weight is a death sentence. For experienced wrestlers (2 years or more): Cut down to the max weight class your doctors and coach tell you to cut down. If a coach says, "Oh you can make this weight but you need a doctor's note to loose so much weight." DON'T DO IT! I've had people on my team have to quit due to medical reasons because some idiot decided to go from 182 down to 145. If you are cutting more than 30 pounds and your not a 220 or heavyweight, Your setting yourself up for stunted growth. TLDR 1-2 years: cut one weight class below your regular weight 3 or more years: Cut as much weight as you medically can within the 30 pound weight cut limit.

I was a junior and 5'7 wrestling at 167. Three months later, after the season ended im 5'7 1/2 (5'7 and a half) sitting at 195 pounds. Im currently in summer break going into senior year. My one main goal in life is to grow atleast 3 inches and be a 285. That sounded impossible but ive met people whove done it. Hopfully i can doctor says im still growing 🙏

[@lastpatriot7506]

I weigh 140-143. I want 138 this year. Is that a smart decision? Ive grown since last season. I did decent as 120 but got crushed as 126. But grown in size via height and muscle

[@johnathanmcrae4702]

Bro that ain't even cutting weight

[@slgjavi3473]

You’ll make 138 without even trying

[@traysonwhitworth3006]

How did that do? I i am pretty much in the exact same board but I’m a freshman

[@braydenhamilton4982]

I cut from 130 to 113 best thing I've ever done I was so much stronger than my opponents

[@nickcurley6065]

Lol I'm doing the same thing

[@Mjmoney]

@@nickcurley6065 you guys are making me want to bump down like crazy😂should I go 145 to 126😳😳

[@nickcurley6065]

money probably not for a whole season unless ur state is actually good at wrestling. I only did it for one tournament and I gained 20 lbs in a week.

[@Mjmoney]

[@Mjmoney]

@@nickcurley6065 what did you do to lose that weight

[@iaintevengonholdyou]

I’m 5’4 and 132 rn but I’m cutting to 120 or 113 depending on how the team looks.

[@lukeszobonya9712]

All the people be like 5’4 but im 5’11 and wrestle 120

[@joeyfornaro3517]

[@alexcrawford247]

I wrestled 106 this season cutting down from 123... absolute hell

[@Uncertifiedunlicensed]

Alex Crawford lucky im a 106 and I am 132

[@djhypebeast3435]

I cut from 144 down to 125

[@mateo_slaps1927]

I know how that feels I was 128 cutting to 106

[@sameernaseri9051]

How tall are you?

[@closmasmas9080]

I wrestled at 120 last year (122 with 2 pound allowance). I would normally walk around at 129-132 lbs. Post season: I currently walk around at 133-137 lbs. I want to go to 120 again next year, but I’m not sure if my hydration test will let me. Any tips for pre-hydration test preparation

[@aaronjarman5268]

So I box at 125-132lbs when I eat whatever I want my walking weight is 145lbs, before the season starts I bring myself down to abt 135-138, so my cut only ends up cutting 2-12lbs and I feel absolutely huge and extremely strong at both weights.

[@Tavo.V]

Im 5'9 220 used to be 240 but im trying to cut to 190 but its hard to lose weight what should i do

[@danieldelarosa4252]

Run

[@_Legendary__]

How did you make that cut I’m doing that right now (235 to 220)

[@syloentertainment1100]

I’m legit like 240, so I don’t think I have to really worry about weight class

[@Mr.Ripper113]

I'm 5'9 and was 189 pounds and went into the 182 class and got rolled by guys that were much bigger. biggest mistake ever. didn't help that they were all state and all Americans.

[@davidcarroll1883]

I keep watching your vids. I wrestled once in high school. Coach teamed me up with a blind guy. What is this blind kid gonna think about me grabbing his nuts? I just could not do it! I enjoy listening to you ramble on about wrestling but I just don't understand it. Carry on, my friend.

[@woahbudbud7395]

I wieght 102 in freshman its tuff

[@huntermales6713]

Good videos bro👌🏻

[@robotahu629]

I was 145 during last season, and during the off-season bc of lifting I jumped up to 152-157 region, I’m wondering if I should for next season keep grinding to work up to 160, or cut down to 145 or 138, for next season. I’ve made the cut before and it doesn’t seem too hard to do, it’s definitely manageable but I’m just wondering where I should go with this.

[@lilbaja9276]

Ur in the exact position I am right now like legit the exact same weighs for everything what did u end up doing

[@theone5672]

I'm a freshman in high school and weigh 129Ibs and was wondering if I should go to 132 or 126. I got my first tournament coming up and I gotta make weight, but I don't know which weight class I should go in.

[@danieldelarosa4252]

I was a strong 220 two years ago and now I’m gonna be wrestling 170, is this a smart idea?

[@abousow8625]

50 pounds?! That’s lowkey a lot. I mean if it’s fat then yea it’s aight but be careful. Don’t wait a month to cut. Start like 3 months before

[@ianmartin6175]

Can someone explain to me how much over or under weight you can be? I know there's some amount of allowance but I don't know what it is

[@ohana8454]

I weight 135 I’m 5’4 (female) . Should I go to 120 or 113?

[@jacobkohleffel5938]

120

[@bne269]

I was 110 wrestling 113 and it sucked but I bulked up to 120 this season so I should be good

[@antxnio.O]

I’m 5’7 and weigh 160, should I drop to 145 weight class?

[@richardw8142]

cutting is very easy if your 180+ and not a complete hoss. just don't eat breakfast and have a light dinner +some cardio and you can lose 10+ pounds in 2-3 weeks

[@alejandroramirez1306]

I weighed 140 but i wrestled 132 regularly but one time i had to make 126 with in 4 days so i cut like 14 pounds do u think i can do this regularly throught the season

I wrestled 103 this year, and I'm around 109-110 without cutting any weight. Should I go 112 or 103?

[@isaacgomez69]

urgan furganson it depends on your height are you growing? Are you the tallest person in your weight? If yes then go up you don’t want to stunt your growth. But if you’re like 5’3 or something and your parents are short then you might want to cut. If you go up a weight class you should weigh at least 3 more than your Scratch weight walking

[@jackparker160]

Isaac Gomez Haha thanks for the tip, I’m short and I cut down to 103 and took 7th at states

[@evanwade4534]

I'm 5 ft 5.5 or 5 ft 6 and weigh 132 people I am very bulky,muscular for my weight class and i wrestle tall skinny people all the time should i go up a Weight class or go down a weight class or stay at this one

[@TheBobsteg]

Stay bro that's the dream for you. Im 5'10 132 and im really debating going up because i'm naturally 140 and anytime I go against someone with your body type its impossible for me to move past the first takedown.

[@gabrielruiz9189]

i walk at 124 should i go 106 ? I have like a month or so maybe more

[@aaronf1211]

You would be cutting 15% of your walking weight, 17% of your wrestling weight. This wouldn't be a good idea, 112 is the lowest you should cut to, but 10% body weight is still a pretty gnarly cut

[@AxelArmentaMMA]

I walk around 170 tops should I wrestle 140s or 150s or 160s??

[@Veqsterr]

150s

im currently around 5’5/5’6 and a half. im wrestled 120 but i’m walking around 129/130 at the moment. i often got crushed at 120 but did better at 126 even for the built skinny guy i am. i’ve been thinking of buffing up to 138 but i honestly have no idea should i just stick to 126? or should i buff up as much as i can (if it’s even possible) within these next 2-3 months before season and wrestle 138. there is alot of guys from the 120-145 weight range and i honestly don’t know what to do. i’m about to be a junior and i just don’t know what to do right now about all of this
