Someone help me out on this because this is all still new to me. Truth is that Nathan has never really done what I consider a hard cut until Fargo this year. A special thanks to TC Dantzler and especially Eric Akin who helped tremendously with the process of what to do once you get to weight.

Here is my question. I honest to God don't know if Nathan has ever been more than 7% body fat. I also know there is a difference between start of the week weight and end of the week weight. Truth is, that we found out a kid can cut some, do it safely, and maintain strength and everything else that goes with it. Obviously, there are limits to that, and they will be different for each kid.

Here is my question though, exactly how do these new rules affect a kid with already very low body fat due to a large percentage of muscle mass, and being small on top of that. I will also say, the answer is not in saying for the kid to eat more. My son eats like a horse and has a very high metabolism rate as will any very active person. I am not being critical of the rules, it is just after reading them, and reading them, and then talking to kids in states where they used the rules this year, I still am not clear as to what to expect. My understanding is, you will need a doctor’s note saying the weight is a safe weight for the kid. I assume the parents pay for that doctors visit and physical if that is the case.
