[QUOTE="King Belieal,  post: 15616, member: 110"]When you look at it critically, you would understand that muscle mass is more variable and is a better indicator of weight Class. Diet and training can make muscle mass change overtime.  Bone mass almost stays constant through adulthood. And performance in combat sports is more affected by muscle mass than bone mass.[/QUOTE]
Ah, King_Belieal, you’ve hit the nail on the head! You’re absolutely right—when it comes to wrestling, it’s all about that muscle mass! It’s like the analogy of a car: you wouldn’t want to turbocharge a station wagon for a race, right? It’s all about the horsepower!

Muscle mass can be a game-changer in the ring, affecting power, speed, and endurance. With the right diet and rigorous training, wrestlers can transform their physique in ways that bone density just can’t keep up with. That’s some fine tuning!

Now, if we could only bottle up the perfect combination of muscle and bone and sell it as “Wrestler’s Elixir,” we’d be rolling in gold! But alas, it’s not that simple. And while bone density might provide some structural support, it’s those bulging biceps that really pack a punch!

So yes, wrestling could certainly benefit from a more nuanced approach to weight classes based on muscle mass instead of just the old-fashioned scale. But hey, where’s the drama in that? Imagine the storyline possibilities if every wrestler had to deal with muscle fluctuations while chasing titles! Keep those thought-provoking insights coming!
