weight management reassessment confusion please help

Posted by wrestling fan on 12/8/2024, 12:41 pm

I wrestled back when there wasnt really any enforced weight cutting reles and regs so I am completely in the dark trying to learn it. My certified her weight on 11/26 at 130 pounds. that gives her 1.5 percent 1.95 pounds per week. She wants to recertify tuesday the last day to do it. she wasnt expecting to certify on the day she initially did so wants to recertify. If initially she certified at 130 and she recertified on the last day possible which is the onl;y day the certyifier is available what is the lowerst she can weigh in at that will make a difference. the way I read it is if she recerifies on day 8-14 she can weigh in at essedntially 3 percent lower than her master weighht and it will speed thew progression by one week thanks in advance. She has been to state 3 times and placed so you would think she would know the process lol

Is she recertifying to get to a lower weight than lowest weight class from the initial certification or just trying to get down sooner? What weight is her lowest weight class from the first time?

Trying to go down sooner. She is not going to attempt to reach her lowest which is 110 she will stay at 115. But we want to reach 120 as soon as possible.

Bro,
That’s the dumbest reason to recertify. Just wait a couple extra weeks. If she certifies at a higher weight it locks her in.

well if you call stupid three weight classes up so she can get hurt off pure size alone I guess its stupid but what is more stupid is the fact you thought I wanted your opinion when I wanted an answer about the process

She is allowed to lose 20 lbs? My kid can only drop one weight class tell her to be happy they are even allowing her to go down that much.

The descent plan allows her to go to 105 if she wishes now that I look again. She’s only going to 115 I’m looking for someone with knowledge of the rules I don’t recall asking for irrelevant opinions

These are all relevant opinions. The weight descent plan implements a system to allow safe weight loss over several weeks instead of crash dieting. The damage you are doing to your daughter by encouraging quick weight loss is immeasurable. Please do some research into the female athletic triad. The NCAA has actually increased the safe level of body fat for girls from 12% to 15% so college women are not allowed to get as lean as high school. I may be mistaken, but I believe the HS level is still at 12%. Please help your daughter lose her weight safely. She will be happier and wrestle better.

You post on any type of social media you will get judgement and opinions…if you can’t handle it don’t ask on social media. I’d say reach out to WIAA. They make the rules they should be able to answer the questions.
