We'd like to know that, too. Even as a boy, he'd been a great wrestler. All right, way to go, Jeff. He's always been at the top or near the top of every competition he's been in. His talent earned him a scholarship to the University of Michigan, one of the best wrestling schools in the country.
Wrestling revolve around weight categories.
And sometimes, just days before a match, wrestlers try to drop down one or even two weight classes. In theory, at least, cutting weight would give Jeff Reese the bulk and muscle of 170 temporarily reduced to 153. Then he'd have 24 hours to eat, drink and rebuild his strength. It's a lot of mental toughness. You got to realize that you have to diet down good.
