I once was three pounds over after practice and my coach told me to only drink a couple ounces of water that night. the next morning I was 5 pounds over.

We once had a kid come in 3 over and when asked what he had eaten, he said " just a couple snickers and a diet coke" Like the diet coke was supposed to counter the calories in the snickers.

Or like calories even matter the night before a weigh-in. All that really matters is how heavy the food is.

"I had just a few chicken wings." The best one I have heard yet. Make weight guys!

"In this stage of the game it's not about WHAT you eat but HOW MUCH you eat" Coach Frohling.... but some people just don't understand that on our team...even our 103lbser doesn't get it...he's 112 right now and a tournament on saturday...but the real started like this...

We had a dual the next day and we were weighing out at practice and Coach Frohling was standing there seeing where we were so if anyone was over he'd know what to expect, well our heavy weight (I'm from Russell, by the way) he was a senior last year, he was usually about 275 and always made weight with little sacrafice, but we all were done and we were talking to the Coach and he said that he was like 4.5lbs. under so we figured okay whatever, so we weighed in the next morning and he was 4 over? how in god's graces you gain that much I don't know but he had a good excuse, he only drank a little water and ate a small piece of roast beef, well the more we talked to him the more the truth came out, he actually drank almost a gallon jug of water and a huge plate of roast beef with mashed potatoes and gravy, needless to say the fat boy ran it off that morning, but seriously? 8lbs in one night, how's that humanly possible?

I like chicken wings!

It is very easy to gain and lose water weight quickly if you are in top shape. In college I lost 13 pounds in 8 hours and put it back on in 1 hour. Not a recommended practice. We found out we could weigh-in a day early because the team we dueled wanted one weigh-in. They had a meet the night before us. Both coaches agreed and the rest is history. It took three different workouts to get the weight off. It only took one sitting or standing to put it back on.

our 189 pounder(michael malay) weighed out of practice at 190 and come back the next day weighin 201. how do you gain 12 pounds in a 24 span is unbelieveable

I agree completely, but if it's due-able Michael's your man

Our 103 pounder weighed 114 on wednesday and has a Tournament on Saturday...Cause we didnt have practice Monday or Tuesday...

all i ate to gain that much weight was a cup of water and a half of a slice of pizza.

probably the best one ive heard was in jr. high. a kid was 2 under the night before a match. came in the next morning 3 over. coach asks him wat he ate. i swear i had a little bit of spagetti. like just a few spoonfuls.

Our 103, my brother is on the same boat as Keiswetter i believe, not sure which seafood buffet they found but it's gotta suck to try to get down there

My Little cousin did not make weight today. I felt bad for him. It is hard to run of 1.5 pounds when you are suppposed to be 75lber in the 7th grade.
