I was going to make a comment about how no bench-warmer ever died of over training but SOMEONE out there may think that's racist. :coolgrin:

I see that this is reported in 1997. Some twenty five years earlier I tried to make the wrestling team at my school and the attitude toward trying to work in the lowest weight class possible was the same. As young as I was, I thought that was dangerous to anyone's health and I left the program.
Another factor was the rubber suit - I felt that only fetishists were the only ones who wore such apparel.

Same here, KDP. When we got within a pound or so of the class, we were encouraged to spit until we made it. 17# in a couple days is just a bit extreme, however; I guess you could make that by lopping off a limb. Wait, that wouldn't work out so well in wrestling, would it?
No one ever mentioned wearing a helium jock strap, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone has done that.

I refer to these stories when the wife brings up the honey-do list.
