cutting weight

[IPON]

I need to cut about 6 pounds in a week. Anyone with experience have ideas? I am willing to dehydrate myself like crazy.

Hey Badger, How was the tournament. Give us an update when you get a chance.

Its over-rated anyway.

Easy for you to say, took me years to get through pre-med after that.

But I did learn a bit of Spanish...

"Dondi ti du-ay-lay? "Necessitas mas agua!"

My view, yet again, don't do anything that causes you to lose a lot of water, including the sweat clothes and paper bag idea. The amount of harm, whether you want to admit it or not, is not worth it. A healthy diet and plenty of exercise should cause a person not in top fitness to naturally lose weight without losing water and causing problems with their body.

You must have had some horrible experiences cutting weight. Please elaborate.

As you have just admitted, you were a no-good fish and couldn't buy a win if you had a million bucks. You do not know what you are talking about, so shut yer pie hole, fish.

Actually, I was one of the best. Iwas a no-good fish only when I cut weight - the rest of the time I was pretty awesome. "formidable" is how the local papers put it. I did eventually find out I prefered hitting to huggin', plus they tol me at 23 I was getting too old to wrestle, if you know what I mean...

I useto wrestle at the 215# class and had to cut weight a couple times to go down to the 189. The results were not good.

Well as a HW you did not need to cut weight on a regular basis or worry about diet so cutting 26lbs would be a problem. I was paranoid about weight so I was always under I never wanted to cut those 2lbs just before weighins. But peopel do the last minute weight loss in HS and college and the results are not always disasterous becuase its only a few lbs...........26lbs big difference dude. Infect if you knew that you had to cut then you should have stayed at a lower weight so you would not have so much weight to cut.

Also, ease up on the assumptions you don't know why he only has one week to loose the weight. He may have just found out about the tournament.

Only a dumbass teenage moron would find it necessary to cut weight one week before a match I useto wrestle at the 215# class and had to cut weight a couple times to go down to the 189. The results were not good.

Yet another voice from the "has never cut weight" advice club.

Only a dumbass teenage moron would find it necessary to cut weight one week before a match (Yeah, I know, theres a whole lot of them in collegiate wrestling). Shows a STOOPID lack of maturity. If youre an athlete an your goal is to compete you dont wait till the last minute to qualify unless youre just too busy smoking weed and whacking off in the toilet. You perpare gradually.

Wrestling is for queers like you anyways, who enjoy getting that close to a sweaty smelly grunting boy, jujubean.

Wrap yourself up in plastic and sit in a car in the sun - Try some diuretics and lots of caffeine and chewing tobbacco.

Don't listen to this moron.

STUPID STUPID STUPID

What the hell are you doing 6 lbs over just 1 week before weigh-in? STOOPID!

No, cutting water wont kill you, but it'll leave you weak and drained and your opponent will throw ya around like a rag doll.

Report back, I'll be interested to find out how you do.

I agree with Jubaji 6lbs isn't too bad. I would also not severly decrease water, limit the calories to like 500-600per day or so (I usually eat a can of tuna and steam brocolli or tuna an tomato for luch then a peice of fruit later in teh day). Also, absolutely no diuretics (I know you didn't ask but just incase).

What I think will definately help arte plastics just tak a regualar garbage bag and poke out holes for arms and head, and sweat shirt and pants. If you want to spend the money buy a sauna suit about $7-10 at any sporting store. The benefiit is that your body from the neck down will be covered you will loose a lot of water weight this way. I like running at night and then going to bed after so you are not not drinking right after the run.

Oh, one thing after you run take off the plastics in the bathtub so you don't get water all over you floor.

Also, do not underestimate the power of the jump rope definately helpful.

Just my 2 cents

Mr Ipon, as usual, gives sound advice.
