Episode 131 - Cooper Pontelandolfo
Q: What prompted the weight class change and how did you manage it without sacrificing performance?
He shifted to 157 by focusing on nutrition and consistent training, avoiding drastic weight cuts and instead maintaining a steady diet, extra runs, and discipline to stay near 157-158, which helped maintain performance without the energy dips associated with extreme cuts.

Q: How has the coaching staff and program philosophy evolved since you arrived at Case Western, and what role did your BW experience play in that?
