by moving your kid up to 76 you will more then likely run into a kid that should be wrestling 82 pounds but cuts to 76, and wrestling day is back to 82 or 83 pounds, now your boy weighing in at 72 is going to be giving up 10 pounds. in my opinion 73 would have been good for him.

jmo, and yes there is alot of kids who cut weight for state and bigger tournaments. is it right? not for me to decide. but it does happen
