ON the second weigh-in attempt Cormier leaned a bit forward and rested both hands on the towel, the towel you can see is supporting weight from him it bends a few inches downward to his hands. He just needed to offset 1.2 pounds of weight to be at 205lbs on the nose.
I weighed myself with a kitchen counter in front of me. I VERY LIGHTLY put my hands on the counter and took 3 pounds off the scale with almost no pressure whatsoever. I weight myself a few times without putting my hands on the counter and I was consistently 150.4 pounds every time. With my hands very lightly on the counter I was able to take away 3 pounds off the scale reading easily!
To quantify how little pressure it took (I couldnt believe it) here is what I did: i put a micro kitchen scale on the kitchen counter in front of me with 1 lbs of room temperature butter (in foil) on that kitchen scale, on tar (set to zero with the pound of butter on the kitchen scale). I rested very lightly the side of my hands on the room temperature pound of butter as I weighed myself. Barely made a dent and the 3 pounds showed up on that kitchen scale and the scale I was stepping on showed 147.4Lbs. I repeated it again and got the same results (and at 1.2 lbs of hand pressure the butter barely looked touched)
1000% sure Cormier cheated on the scale.
After doing this and feeling very satisfied with my experiment, I ate half the pound of butter and rubbed the rest over my naked body while screaming with a mouthful of butter; "I WILD EACH IT HA HA THAT MEETS THEIR NAKED!". The cops showed up and rang at my door a few moments later because my landlady was worried. I quickly dressed forgetting I was covered in butter and couldnt talk because i couldnt swallow the butter that was in my mouth. An ambulance is coming, I have the feeling I wont be able to post for a while.
Cheers (I actually did what half this post says, up to you to guess which half)
As somebody who has a shipping scale and has had large objects on it vary greatly in weight just by having a small part of said object touch the ground (usually a long ass box that has some flex to it), I completely understand it.
Hell, if somebody is on a scale and you walk up and put your hand on their shoulder and push down a little, you can easily add 40+ pounds to their weight.
Don't be fucking stupid. The hole in your tard logic is that Cormier had 2 hours to lose the weight and losing 1.2lbs in two hours would have been effortless. Wrestlers lose that in half the time at every meet.
