I'm a wrestler and I'm currently 127.2 lbs and 5'

Are you a woman?

My advice would be to not do that because that's severely underweight. I'm 5'7 at 168 and I'm looking a little small myself.

Before mods take down this thread or it 404's (you're clearly in high school (college wrestlers have staff for this if you're d1, d2 and d3 are just rec clubs)

If you're doing standard hs wrestling conditioning you should already be at a low bodyfat percentage. That amount of drop is pants on head retarded, talk to your parents about it and they can tell the coach.

Only freshman wrestle 106 or complete manlets, the seniors wrestling 106 get to states and generally dominate, but at what cost? A poor hormonal profile for the rest of their life, and stunted growth?

It's not worth it. You should be focusing on growing in high school, not for a sport. Fight a weight class up instead, learn to be better technique wise than almost killing yourself to make weight, I've done it many times.

I've been doing judo, wrestling, and bjj for five years, and am currently competing on the national level. No high school match is worth losing that much weight in such a critical point in your development.

Same guy as above, but also, this is your first match. Your weight will not matter, your technique will. Do not compromise your health for your first match. If this was your shot at a scholarship, then sure.

Also, the biggest cut I've done is 17lbs in two weeks. My endocrine system was fucked for months. Listen your elder peers here, not your coach. Going up a weight class is always safer.
