Answers:
Excess weight cutting hurts the great sport of wrestling.
I wrestled and my son was a high school state champ and now wrestles in college. I've seen effects of excessive weight cutting and strongly caution against it.
In the state I live in high school students are not eligible to wrestle weight classes where their bodyfat is below 7%. That is where you are now.
My son never cut more than a few lbs in any year in high school. In his senior year, he was in-between two weight classes and wrestled up and won big.
You need to leave room for your body to grow. You should be thinking of wrestling at 145. Can't you beat the guy at that weight.?
My best recommendation is to talk with your coach about what is best for you and your team.Health Question & Answer
