It's just hard to change your technique to fit more active, lighter, opponents

If we can get AJ Ferrari in at 86 or 97 . I'll become engaged

Thats just that. Just a guy doing what he knows, he's not a future rep. Light guy going up to Heavy has potential Heavy guy going down to light.... Good for that guy ..

If I was going to embarrass myself it'd be at 70kg . 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.

I'm a huge "Cox-Potential" guy.... But I'm settling into a "Cox-Reality" guy .... Snyderman has been a top 2-3 guy at an Olympic weight for the duration... Which is longer than Cox has been a hit and miss guy, at a non-Olympic weight . Snyderman owned him last time out . I dunno, in reality he's Kollin Moore. But I still hold out hope, he has a chance ..

Lol all time fail.

Hahaha holy typos ..sorry lunch with the wife . And 6 (which is even funnier) swipe to text killed me

I would be life . He has at least 1 sub-20second match . But I'd be scores a single point. I'm entering next year

Lockett vs Ferrari. Former training partners... Love it . Gimme Lockett 5-4

Genuinely forgot how great this was . #WellPlayed

A 12 pack of Micky ultrAs and I'm basically Dake

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

Hush

Great dual with a few weird spots.

Thank you for apologizing

Cardenas, ouch but should get pulled back in

Chlebov is the only one I'd be surprised to make the semis. Man we came prepared for day 1, knock on wood

U23s have been hot-fire. What a start. I'm already surprised

Ok ok, low scoring. 4-3

It'd be a shootout between you and Jacques

Down goes Johnson :( Sancho now up

I was wondering why I felt so keen today. :) is it time for the Olympic trials yet

I'm not an expert myself, but more important than the injury (I feel), was the expectation they wouldn't be allowed in. Obviously top wrestlers stay in shape for the majority of the year. But I still get the vibe, it was similar to a UFC fighter taking a fight on short notice. He just didn't look ready... in any of his matches. *No crazy observations or anything. Just what I saw

Yeah, cutting off an arm to wrestle Taylor/Yaz seems like a wild over-react. At 97 he's got Snyder: who he has a 1 sided rivalry with And Taz: who crushed clearly not 100% Thicculeav. I think he stays up, comes back in prime shape and likely wins Olympic Gold, over the great and Powerful Snyderman.

Delusional but I like it :)
