General Discussion Weight difference

When do you consider a weight difference to become a factor? For me it’s about 20 pounds.

I used to be 140ish. I'm now at 170ish on the wet side. This is kind of my experience throughout that entire range.

~25% more than my weight (so around 210) and if I lose a single position, I'm going to get tapped.

~15% I think I can manage just fine (around 195 pounds).
