If you are light just stuff a bald eagle into your singlet at weigh-ins. 57kg = 125.6 61kg = 134.4 65kg = 143.3 70kg = 154.3 74kg = 163.1 79kg = 174.1 86kg = 189.5 92kg = 202.8 97kg = 213.8 125kg = 275.5 There are worse things they could do, but don’t people often comment that 92 kg is weak internationally even compared to 61/70/79? Seems weird to go 15 pounds from 174 to 189, but then the next 2 are only 13 and 11 lb increases. The increments should increase as you go up. And as posted above you’re basically also removing a weight where the highest # of people are (157/165)

Regarding most people at 157/165... well they can do the same thing every person ever recruited weighing over 190 pounds going into college was told: you can cut weight or you can bulk up. Or are you not committed to the team? i am an idiot on the internet

Truzzcat Posted February 7 Posted February 7 anyone over 285 that is athletic enough to compete at a d1 level will likely be playing collegiate football especially with NIL the way it is now at least in my opinion. 1

Barracuda141 Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Lets not and say we did. Why would we want to essentially combine 149 & 157 just so we can add a 220ish weight? That makes zero sense. We would be eliminating some of the best wrestlers from NCAAs and welcoming in some of the worst. There are already enough complaints about the UWW weights and how little sense they make. NCAA weights are way way better imo UWW NCAA 57kg-125lbs 125lbs 61kg-134lbs 133lbs 65kg-143lbs 141lbs 70kg-154lbs 149lbs 74kg-163lbs 157lbs 79kg-174lbs 165lbs 86kg-190lbs 174lbs 92kg-203lbs 184lbs 97kg-214lbs 197lbs 125kg-276lbs 285lbs
