A blue belt i use to own medaled in mundials

I wouldn't be so hung up about the weight even though potentially, that played a part in it. Give credit where credit is due. The guy went on and trained and you're on a "break". They progressed and you didn't. Lump it. I do every time I take a break and suddenly it's that much harder to keep up
