What Weight class did you wrestle in college or high school

free reps

[GTLpilotbrah]

119 sophmore 125 junior 135 senior. Had to cut only 8 lbs last I could remember.

[Getter_done]

I never wrestled, but i have been kicked out of most jiujitsu schools in my city due to erections and involuntary ejaculations during practice.

[Johnez]

171 (174) lbs, 41-14, 32 pins senior year. I never reached my potential, never lifted in high school, had chit for conditioning, and hated practice. Only thing I had going for me was speed. If my son takes up interest I'll definitely build him up to his full potential, it's a crime not to.

Heavyweight was between 215 and 275 so no. I still get the urge to step back on the mat in my 30s every time I watch UFC.

I know it sucks that there isn't recreational gym for wrestling i think it's because its expensive and wrestling can become dangerous as you get older

At my old high school in California during off season there was freestyle and Greco Roman wrestling that anybody could do regardless of age. One could wrestle in the "open" class. I tried looking that chit up here in Nebraska, everything is geared towards kids here tho...

Superheavyweight


Won most of my matches via chair shot. We were into no holds barred chit growing up but if you nailed a kid
With the chair, he was generally down for the 3 count

[puristhndrwrth]

58,63,69kg . never won any championships.on my very first tournament i didnt see anyone from my team,no coach,no teammates and some rando gave me his singlet right when my last name was called,it was smaller size and tight af.i won that match despite all mental shock.brb peed like 5-8 times before first scrap.brb on weigh-ins everyone looked much bigger and stronger.
brb didnt show up for second match,pussied out mentally.
final thought is that coach very important part of training.i didnt have anyone to cheer me up or tell me have to work harder etc.

fortunately my sons will get all support they need to not be pussi like their dad.

I think heavyweights have it much easier, all you need to do is t6 be fast and take shots tbh. The lower weight classes have much harder

103, 112, 119. Had to cut a chit ton senior year.

[andrew28]

171 and 189. Cut to 160 once and gassed out in the semi finals I was so drained. My eyes were like sunken in and everyone looked at me like “Dude....you’re sucked out, you need to hydrate.”

My junior year I won prep school states. Pinned my opponent in the first round in the finals my junior year. He was my first win my freshmen year where I pinned him too. Then senior year comes around and we meet in the finals again and he nearly teched me. He got the last laugh and it kills me that this guy has a plaque somewhere with my miserable face holding the 2nd place trophy.

That was 14 years ago and I have the DVD another dad took of my finals loss to that guy. Have it on my desk and to this day I’ve still never watched it. I just can’t let it go and don’t think I ever will.

[Evil_D]

No, that's too much toxic masculinity to be a school sport in Australia.

[andrew28]

Seriously? There’s no wrestling in Australian high schools?

Yeah dude i started when i was in soph year and lost all of my matches but then junior year came along and i won all of my matches at 145. Then senior year came along and i wrestled between 138 145 but mostly wrestled 145. Idk i didn't do very well my senior year because wrestling in Illinois is competitive as hell. In my regionals there was 3 people who placed in state, so I was farkked

Wrestling gets harder at the lower weight classes

Depends how low you go, at like 103-119 its all dumb freshmen

Usually is good wrestling until 215lb class where its just lazy tubbos who suck

Also, I was 171 first half of senior year then cut to 160 for 2nd half

[OneLegSquats]

Never wrestled but been training UFC for a couple months and confident I could beat Johnny Walker with my 1-2

Id say 126-160 is hard asf

Basically the same here.


I wrestled 160 junior and senior year. Went into senior year with 171 locked down, but we had a hole at 160 so my coach asked me to drop down. My "minimum healthy weight" that year was 160.0, so I was pushing sub-7% bf just to make weight. It was miserable and I was back up to 175-180 within a few days of the season ending.

160lbs was like 15 years and 70lbs ago for me.

Fully agreed. I tried so hard to like BJJ because wrestling gyms/clinics just don’t exist for some reason outside of high school or college wrestling rooms.

BJJ bored the fuk out of me with my opponent grabbing my gi and sh!t. Didn’t like that. And even in no-gi, BJJ is like 80% you being in the missionary position with another dude. And this is coming from a guy who defended wrestling anytime one of my high school friends or associates called wrestling gay.

Freestyle in the off-season was fun because I loved wrestling in neutral. I did my classic shrug and got behind this one guy and threw him right over my head for a 5 point throw that his shoe fell off, lol. I had no idea at the time why the entire gymnasium was laughing until my friend showed me the footage, lol.
