Spladle08 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I wrestled with a former HS wrestler yesterday, he showed up to BJJ practice looking to prepare for Senior Nationals (65kg). Lol we did live takedowns for about an hour (he got 0). He's like, man you're great, you could challenge Burroughs you think? .... I was like, I'm 39, overweight, and had 4 beers before I came up here. He says you think you'd make the finals in Fort Worth? I again let him know, I wouldn't score a single point. He said, well if I can't beat you, do you think I have a shot at top 3? I was like, whatever happens, enjoy the experience. He just didn't understand the skill level of our best. But just checked the entrants and he really signed up 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that doesn't work, be sure to videotape the match so that those of us who appreciate the occasional dose of Schadenfreude can watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm entering next year You have weight to lose, bud, don't you? Weight classes exist for a reason. I competed at 134 because even if I was able to train with Joe up at 158 there was no way in hell I was going to be able to wrestle those animals night-in, night-out and not come away with some serious injuries. 1 "I know actually nothing.

It'd be the most reasonable unreasonable way to go out . I weighed 189.7 this morning. Ran 3 miles at 9min/mile pace and never lift heavy . I'm old and it's real . But if somebody offered me $147.65 to put on a singlet and embarrass myself at the Senior level for the enjoyment of the forums. I'd do it at 70kg.
