Question about saving weight
Hey I was just wondering, has anyone themselves or heard of anyone going on a diet to make their car faster,lol? I mean everyone is trying to shave every single pound off their cars now-a-days, might as well try to lose some weight themselves right?

A little more than that now, of course, (off-season) but that's around my weight for the normal season of wrestling. I'm never more than 125 lbs.

0.5% +/- 0.5% body fat tends to make for a light boy... as well as dehydration.

"How big a boy are ya?"

5'11", 205 dressed, no shoes. Boot camp will soon alter those numbers, I imagine.
