help! need to drop 2kg in a week to make my weight class

[Bro_Its_A_Kilt]

So Im a judo player needing to drop some weight to make my weight class I only have a week to strip 2kg of bodyweight ,I dont mind hard graft and im willing to do whatever it takes. This is my first competition back after rupturing my ACL and having cartilages removed from my knee I'm looking for recommendations for rapid shedding of weight without being ridiculous any help is appreciated. I usually eat alot for energy and muscle maintenence but I cant control my muscle gain , its getting stupid, I'm getting bigger and leaner but when I cut down calories I feel lethargic at training I normally eat enough to allow me to train every day (I can detail my training if necessary)
I dont want to have to move up a class as I would be significantly lighter than the competition
stats it may sound like Im bein ignorant but dont have the time to add enough mass to make it worth moving up a class. I intend to use the rebound from the weightloss to slingshot me to the top of the next weight class for the next competition
The question got a little lost in my words but please advise me on how to drop at least 2kg in a week here are the stats (I'm 17)
BW - 75 kg / 165lbs
BF - 8-11%
height - 5'10

Remove all sodium. Drop water consumption in half and no water 24 hrs prior to weigh in (monitor wieght the entire time). Drop the carbs 2 days out. eat only what you have to the last 24 hrs Go to the sauna. wear a sweat suit and jog. Dont over dehydrate yourself because it is not worth it.

Dont kill yourself trying to make wieght bro. You should easily make wieght safely using the above methods.

thanks man helpful what do think in terms of training the week prior

 

[Fishak]

Keep a "normal" training plan just dont push it too hard. With low carbs and water in your system you may get a bit lethargic so just take it easy prior to the wiegh-ins. After wiegh-ins eat complex carbs and rehydrate.

Solid advice...during a cut week I always did a light cardio session prior to rolling / drilling, followed by a another light cardio session after. Keep the heart rate up throughout your workout.....after weigh-in rehydrate SLOWLY...good luck!

Ditto except don't half water, double or triple it for the days leading up to the cut. Then day of the cut drop all water. Dandelion root and a little caffeine will help immensely. Honestly 4.5 pounds should be a snap. Good luck.

A good contest prep is to drop all sodium, drink only distilled water slowly decreasing over the course of 5 days as needed, and monitor your weight. You can always spit in a can for a couple hours to lose a couple pounds. This is all assuming that you will have a chance to hydrate before your match.

Ok so let me get this straight. This is your first comp after getting surgery, so you've done this before yeah? How the hell do you not know how to cut weight? 4.5lbs? I use to cut that in a day no problem. It wasn't even hard.

 

[robph]

hey bro, it can be done by water depletion alone, but do cardio everyday 50 mins, go on a low carb diet, take fat burners and otc water pills, drink 2 gallons of water everyday and then tapper it down.. check this article out.

to robph thanks ill see what i can do about getting hold of what you suggested
and to sherk granted it may sound ridiculous that i dont necessarily know the best way to cut fast but ill explain why I have spent the last year getting into shape post surgery in the process gaining 30lbs of functional muscle and I was looking for more applicable advice as my metabolism has changed significantly shifting from quite ectomorphic to more mesomorphic and this seemed the most appropriate platform but your scepticism is understood

 

[Bro_Its_A_Kilt]

to robph thanks and I'll look into it
and to sherk your scepticism is understood but i spent the year post surgery getting into contest shape , in the process gaining 30lbs of functional muscle and shifting from a quite ectomorphic metabolism to a more mesomorphic metabolism all off my own back , reading 100+ e-books on diet , training etc and deriving my diet and routine from what I read . This shift in physiology requires me to widen my knowledge base to better understand how best to move forward don't mistake it for ignorance or stupidity. These forums seemed an appropriate platform to do so with like minded people who ,hopefully, have been where i am before

 

[Bro_Its_A_Kilt]

didnt mean to post twice read the later one

 

[Sherk]

Well don't take it for me calling you stupid. I competed in various sports where you must meet a weight requirement for many many years growing up. For me and everyone I knew in these sports 5lbs is chump change to loose and could be done with a simple ice bath to bed with a shit ton of blankets to promote even more sweat loss. Now there's much safer and easier ways on the body to do it through nutrition and training but then there's ways to do it in a time crunch and I would expect anyone who competes to know both ways inside and out to get the job done. But that's me and where I come from.

i like the bath tub! get it as hot as you can stand it and lay in as long as you can stand it with everything submerged but ya nose. when its starts cooling drain it and refill hot. I lost 5 lbs in an hr after i pulled 5 lbs off the night before. so all you need is 5 lbs gone? hot bath will rip it off quick.
