Recognizing that today we have hydration tests which may prevent significant weight loss, I'm curious about how much weight some wrestlers may have "cut" over the years, particularly some of the more dramatic weight losses (i.e. compare the natural or "walking" weight of a wrestler before the season began with ultimate wrestling weight maintained by a wrestler during the course of a season)
I'm also curious as to how these wrestlers maintained their strength, endurance or stamina during the course of the season, under such circumstances.
