I guess I need to go give my parents a big hug cause when i wrestled in kids i didnt even know what cutting weight was. Thanks Mom, thanks Dad. Now trying to pass that on to my son. We started the season at 49,second tourny did not make 49, I bumped him to 52, and will keep him there. He can even eat breakfast before weigh in if HE wants to. (P.S.,not sure if my rookie wrestling parents knew what cutting weight was either!)
