Hey guys, I got a fight next saturday. its my first. Im supposed to be fighting at 165. im at around 171 right now. So that leaves me about 10 days to lose 6 pounds. Any tips? Sauna? Diet? What have your experiences been like in the weight cuttin departement? Thanks in advance
Cut back on your calories first. Limit salt and sugar so you don't retain water. Drink only water, no soda and crap. Go for long runs to burn calories. If you're young you'll probably lose the weight pretty fast. Start now so you can be feeling good and hydrated before your fight. Only sweat it out if absolutely necessary. (hopefully you won't have to)
thanks Amy! Im 23, and have actually come down from 240 to 171 in the past year. Im gonna run my butt off, coupled with less calories, hopefully that'll do the trick
Great job on the weight loss! That's amazing. I think you'll be fine. Just eat healthy and lots of cardio and be sure to stay hydrated.
losing that much weight is amazing mate, you probably know more about weight loss than all of us so just dont eat alot but eat 5 little portions aday
Good job on the weight loss mate. I recently had to lose about the same as you to make light welter, and had to dehydrate the last pound or so. Good luck.
thanks for the kind words guys. anyways, turns out my coach got another fight for me THIS saturday instead, at 170 (the other guy is also 170 - so i guess its light heavy). anyways, its gonna be for a police benefit, and theyre expecting around 1500 people. Damn. Baptism by fire i guess. Any tips on not shittin myself? thanks
Don't worry about the people mate, they'll be gone when the bell rings. In the ring it'll be just the two of you as always.
