i'm 5"11, 190 but my coaches don't believe me, they think i'm around 170-175. i encountered the "same weight different size" concept when i had a no-gi tournament a few weeks ago. my weight bracket was 186-205 and i weighed in at 190 spot-on, and most of the other dudes had to cut just to make the top of the bracket at 205. they were HUGE. i wish it was easier for me to cut weight

I'm 5'5 and 180, and usually nobody guesses my weight to be over 150.
