Being both an old and a [very] lightweight wrestler...
I still weigh [it's genetics LOL] the same as I did as teenager and have more or less [more wrinkles, less hair] the same physique. It's I guess natural for men to gain weight in maturity. I didn't and while that might [or might not] be a good thing it seems to mean that almost all the other lightweight wrestlers are twenty plus years younger than me while my 'contemporaries' are twenty plus pounds heavier than me!
And that friends seems to be becoming something of a quandary in the seeking of opponents....

15 days agoQuite the same for me. I've put on a few pounds but I'm still pretty slim. That said, there are still good wrestlers of my age and category for having fun with.

It could be categorized as that or on a more clinical ter it could be a reference to a strong self esteem that’s substantially backed by conquering many life battles

You are actually really built. Hardly skinny in my book!

18 days agoLook well and you will find treasures of many older wrestlers in your same boat. I have the same weight, body mass index and waste size as when I was 22. They are out there. Keep looking.
