You chose to cut 37 pounds because you wanted to be the starter. Had you been able to beat the heavyweight you would have chosen to not cut 37 pounds (as evidenced by you moving up). When I was in high school, I weighed 185 as a sophomore. I chose to cut down to 152 pounds because I was unable to beat the 189, 171 and 160 pounders on my team. I chose to cut 33 pounds because I wanted to be a starter. No one made me do it. I chose to do it.
