The body fat hydration test is currently used in the college ranks. Does anyone know how hard it is to be hydrated and not even have to cut weight. I would venture a gues that probabbly 60 to 75 percent of you are not hydrated if you were to be tested at this very instence. College wrestlers have found ways around the hydration tests for certification. It is just too hard to be hydrated and down to weight. I would be in favor of having just one test done before the season starts to determine how much weight a certain wrestler can use. I don't think it is fair to asks kids to be down to weight and hydrated for certifiaction. For those of you who disagree, take the hydration test for yourself. I witnessed a heavyweight in college have to take the hydration test 8 times before he got hydrated and he didn't cut any weight. The plan is good to determine how much weight a kid can lose but not practical for certifiaction.
