Yeah that gap between 152 and 165 sucks...especially for me since I'm 160 with like no fat. Too big for 152 but too small for 165.

lol no **** scott it's wild right? thats what i thought on my second fight. but my problem was trying to hang out in a weight class i didnt belong in. i fight at 165 now i use to fight at 152

I've got the same problem .I'm 160 at 8 percent bodyfat .I'm trying to get down to 5 percent and when I do if I can't make WW I was thinking about trying something like this and go up to 165 .
