minus-squaresp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·edit-210 hours agoI mean… kind of, but not really. Dudes will bulk up and slim down to be as optimal as they can for their weight class, much like in other combat sports / martial arts. It basically just depends on what weight class you’re aiming for, and while I can’t quickly find his specific weight or class: Yeah that’s Neil, the 6’ 1" captain of Harvard’s wrestling team, who was undefeated in his highschool wrestling matches. Career record of 141 wins, 6 losses, 2 ties. I’d wager from the photo he was between 180lbs and 210lbs at that time. Neil is kind of like Dolph Lundgren in that he’s got a PHD as well as a substantial track record in a martial combat sport. The entire premise of this OP image is quite ridiculous. Some people are both quite intelligent and quite physically capable.

Either way, the info presented reinforces the unlikelyhood of the idea that an undefeated high school wrestling captain would be be bullied and shoved into a locker.
