That is not the Zain plan. Next!

It is the 1960s training techniques

That is a pleasant thought. Lovely.

Exactly. The Anthony Cassar plan!

Blast from the past!

Apparently he can't make 125 safely/effectively on a regular basis, so they are limiting his weigh-ins. If he has been having documented troubles making the weight for years, how is he still able to get certified there? It seems as if he is actually a 133.

People are forgetting how close we were to losing the sport, and the adults (who should be smarter) seem to be blinded by their own ambition.

Not necessarily accurate. The committee has already shown a bias toward Lee in 2021. Plus he has 100% bonus and just absolutely demolished a guy who would be ranked top 10 at the moment.

Askren v. Kish If you want to take it out of dual meets: Schultz v. Banach; Dake vs. Taylor.

Also, the best way to protect his safety is for him to go 133. That is the purpose of the rules. If 125 isn't safe to make all of the time, it is not the weight class for young Patrick. This is where the adults need to step in and do the right thing.

If safety is an issue, he shouldn't be going down to 125. At all. That is the point of the rules. He should be 133. You bare either a 125, or you are not. There are ways to manipulate certification that are not "breaking rules' but do enable guys to certify at lower weights than they should. Every program does it, but it seems to be happening with some more than others, or to a greater degree. It is not 1997 anymore.

Yep. Some many grey areas. I know some states require you to take the mat for the weigh-in to count at the high school level. Wrestlers are very good at finding ways around rules!

... and isn't this the guy who flew out to Iowa when he knew Lee was not wrestling, missed weight, and then claimed Spencer was ducking him and he had no interest in wrestling a backup?

Much like some wrestlers, I was actually bitten by a duck as a child.

Good idea, but I can see it going bad (someone is injured and misses too many matches). The fact is, the kid doesn't belong at 125 based on the existing rules. They found grey areas or tricks to fudge certification and are deliberately manipulating the rules. He is afraid at 133, and likes to use his size advantage against 125s. As an athlete, I was very old school as far as weight cutting, but a lot of this changed after the deaths. Even more changed as I grew older and saw more and more.

According to Coach Ayres, Patrick will have a 'modified weigh-in schedule' for the rest of the season. A while back, Mr. Glory spoke of the 'challenges' of making 125. Gents: This is why we have certification and weigh-in rules. This is exactly what is not supposed to be happening, nor even be able to happen, period. The only way this can happen is purposeful manipulation of the rules, and the body composition/hydration testing system. I've been down this path, as an athlete and coach. It is NOT good for the sport; a sport we were in danger of losing 25 years ago.

"Kyle Burwikk" has eighteen pages

Who is Burwikk?

Daton yes, Spencer no. Spencer isn't going up unless he loses at 57 kg (if 61 kg is an option? Has that been answered?) Crazy thing about the John Smith suckdown is that John didn't do much sucking down himself.

Actually EVERYTHING tastes good after 25 years of prison food

I don't think "frig" means what you think it means. And the FBI has no interest in ostarine. Sorry.

Actually that might help, too.

... and the reported heights would actually have to be correct.
