At three to seven percent, that same kid would still come in above 152, which would mean he'd have to certify (without waiver) at 160. Finally at eight percent would this 158-pound kid beable to go down to 152.
Thanks for clarifying this. My son wrestles his season at 160 with no thought to cutting weight.
One thing I would like to add; I don't know how many people who are claiming that they -- or their kids -- are starting the season at seven percent or below, but I'm guessing they're guessing and have really been checked.
Actually, if you saw my son there would be no doubt that he is well below 7% body fat. He's in excellent shape.
