How do they do it???

Not all of them take diuretics, how well do you think you can fight with a shit load of that stuff in your stomach if you take it a day or two before a fight, you have to remember, these guys are proffesional athletes who train for hours and hours a day, not some guy just trying to shed some pounds, they know exactly how and what they need to do to loose the wieght and have many peoplee helping them do it

Most dicsiplined fighters don't have to loose that much that soon before a fight unless their trying to fight in a class under what's natural to them.

I know most dont but some do, especially when they decided to go to a lighter class...I just wanted to know to see how difficult it is and what drugs and how much do they take to aid in the process....

 

[tfuray]

Yeah I know bro, I think everyone here hit it. Pretty much cardio urself into a dehydrated state. Then slowly hydrate urself after the weigh-in.

i was 195 pre competition....

i fasted/steam room/sauna/diuretics the last 2 days before,

got down to 180.5 for 181 weight in, then blew up to 195-197 after =]

Basically water pills, then steam room for 15 mins in 2 mins out(during the out wipe off any excess water) for 3+ hours.

Oh yea, did i mention, no food or water after 12pm thursday, untill 1-2 pm friday?

Wow man thats pretty harsh.....I have to say that doing that for three hours is very very long...I feel you because I cant last that long in there, 10 minutes max!!!

How many MG's did you take of Diuretics

Are u losing all water that way? Or is some muscle and fat being lost onto of the water?

 

[Payton]

Just straight water for the most part, expecially cause right after weighins its time to eat and drink like an asshole haha

 

[Gordz24]
