at my son's first tournament he signed up at 46lbs (he had weighed 44lbs for two years), he weighed 46.5 that morning.
he had his shirt on, the guy weighing in said, you didn't make weight, do you want to take your shirt off?
no.
your over weight don't you want to take it off so you make weight?
No.
Son if you don't make weight you can't wrestle.
Yes I can.
don't you want to make weight so you can wrestle? take off your shirt.
NO! I didn't come here to make weight I came here to wrestle, I weighed 46 pounds at home, where do I wrestle.
I told the guy that he gets his temper from his momma, and she said absolutely NO CUTTING WEIGHT.
the guy smiled and wrote 46lbs on his arm, we now wrestle 49lbs, soon to be 52.
