I used lots of ways to cut weight when I had too.
One was getting into a bathtub with the water as hot as I could stand it, and putting a board over the top. It held all the heat in and you'd drop.
Usually I didn't have to cut weight, but one time I didn't pay attention and came in 12lbs overweight. I lost it all in 30 minutes of running with almost the whole teams coats on in the heat room, under the heat vent. Bad thing is the coach got me put into the higher weight class and couldn't get me back in to my weight class after he changed it. He didn't think I'd be able to drop the weight. Needless to say I got my butt beat all day long, I was wiped out and wrestling with people much bigger than me.

If you must use force, make it excessive.

Like I said before, if you have some time (say 12 hours or so) to recover cutting can give you a significant advantage at the level where the competition is pretty tight.Originally Posted by bashy

When I wrestled in high school in Maine, just a few years back, cutting weight was a pretty normal thing, but not extreme by any means.
Wearing sweat suits and running, spitting into a cup on the busride, etc. Now they have the bodyweight indexes that tells them how much weight their are allowed to cut.
As I am also a referee, we are required to stop someone from cutting weight if we see it.
In my opinion, shedding a pound or two before the match wont hurt, its all water anyway. Its the 10-20 lbs that kids try to lose that end up getting them killed.
"Killed" is not particularly common. Its more a matter of long term health effects.

I didn't have to cut that much....actually it was going up in weight if needed that was an issue. But I remember chewing gum/spitting or holding hands under warm water (not sure how but it worked) was good for 1/4 lb or so

I had trouble staying off the chips/cookies. I went from 121 to 116 and wrestled 119 pounds. I just didn't drink pop or much water and didn't have any snacks. I just ate what was for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
Why would you go to 116 if you wrestled 119?

My scale was pretty old,I wanted to have some breathing room. After that meet I gained 1-2 pounds.
I agree. kids are to pampered now days. When I wrestled in high school and we would be running before we did our exercises the coach would smack us with these leather straps that kept the wrestling mats rolled up if we weren't running fast enough for him. As we would run/jog past us he would whip it at our thigh or ass as we passed him.
That's what the Tide marker is for. To get out those stains right away so you can go back to what it is your doing.
Our society has gotten weak. It's from a combination of things such as watching to much Mr. Rogers, home schooling, putting kids in time out rather than spanking them, and try to be to compaaaasionate towards others feelings (being P.C.)
Unless you have some insane number to cut like 17 pounds, simply not eating or drinking much at all is the best way to do it. If the hunger gets to you that bad, it helped me to sip a bit of wine or vodka to make the aches go away.
17 is not 'insane' depending on how much time you have, and using alcohol while cutting is pretty stupid.

I'd just like to say I managed to cut from 166 to 147 in 2 days. Just happened!
