How do they do it???

[phatinem]

How do boxers or MMA fighters manage to loose up to 10lbs in just a few days for their weigh ins....I've always been curious about that...Do any of you know how or whats the procedure in temporary loosing that much weight in such little time??

 

[Payton]

Steamrooms for hours in a sweat suit, no food or water, and cardio in a sweat suit...believe me it sucks

 

[phatinem]

Do they do it for one day or a couple of days....

 

[Payton]

Depends really on how much wieght/how much time from wieght ins and the fight

 

[phatinem]

So basically they do Cardio and suana room for a couple of hours and go one complete day without water and food....man that is harsh....

Usually wieghins are a day or two before the fight so its an eating and hydrating frenzy til then

Yeah man, sometimes they take a stationary bike in the sauna in a sweat suit....HAVE FUN!

Lots of heat, sweat, cardio, and puke! lol

Rent VisionQuest and then add lots of diuretics and other chems

 

[phatinem]

wow guess fighters go through a lot before a fight.....hmm

 

[phatinem]

How many mg's of that stuff do they take and for how many days....

 

[Payton]

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

 

[tfuray]

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.

 

[phatinem]

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?

 

[phatinem]

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

 

[Gordz24]

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]

haha i bet.
