Hi I'm a wrestler for RI I was wondering how much a tall skinny HS sophomore 132.2ib can cut, lately my diet hasn't been that great but it's alright.....so I'm a little on the heavy side but I want to go 126ib for wrestling , however if I cut down to 120ib I think I can be a state champ ....does anyone know if it's possible to cut all the way down to120?

12Lbs is a lot at your weight currently. I wrestled 132lbs also and rarely cut lower. Was mildly undersized and had good sucess. 126 is doable for you. But what is bf % ? You might be able to lose more there than water and glycogen.

My bf last year was 4% I think I'm at a 5% this year though I don't know

If youre serious thats a tough cut to 120. 126 is easily doable but surprisingly 6 extra pounda makes a dif.

Do you think it's even possible without being a zombie???

If you truly are that lean, not likely mate. Some ppl can handle it but most cant and i woulsnt bank on being in the minority. Maybe try a practice cut and have a moderate training sesh to see how you respond. But id hold off on cutting large after that for a bit just to be sure you recover.
