NewGuy2000 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Most people who take wrestling seriously early on in life have high chances of stunted growth. I've met 2 guys who were wrestling prodigies who started their wrestling careers as early as the sixth or seventh grade and they are both short compared to their siblings. One thing must be noted also. Some coaches take it too seriously and force their students to a strict diet and weight cutting program. One guy tells me his coach is always on his *** about eating right and not gaining weight - so he can make the lower weight class. He stands about 5' 2" while his brothers are all over 5' 6". If you plan on doing wrestling, you better go all the way to college with it and compete internationally or else you will have sacrificed a lot for nothing.

juice64011 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 It is different for everyone depending on size and condition. I use to drop about 15 pounds for wrestling, About 6-8 pounds of that was water weight.10 pounds is usually the limit that I would want to lose in water weight but I have seen and heard of people doing more than that.

juice64011 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 No, I have one brother and he is maybe an inch taller than me and never wrestled or cut weight. I do know other wrestlers that started cutting weight earlier than me that are quite a bit shorter than their siblings so it is quite possible that you are right about that.
