What's this?

Possibly would not be as hard as you think.


For example, if Gus certified at the beginning of the season for 133, then wrestles at 141...he could float between 137 and 141 all season and wait for the allowances to kick in. By Feb 15th he would only need to weight 137ish to "drop" to 133 class. So they may not need to drop much if anything. It all comes down to what they certified at the beginning of the season and that seems to be a big secret right now.

I can't remember what the what increases/allowances are but I think it is something like 1 pound every 4 weeks?
