:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl Im keeping my mouth shut this time, this is just ridiculous - Hypnoboy, have you considered writing a book of your advice, would sell a lot!
honestly, i couldnt be ****ed reading all this, but i will boxers cannot cut weight like wrestlers due to the simple fact the brain is about 70% water. Any dehydration causes it to swell, therefore has less impact absorbtion. It takes up to 40hrs to fully rehydrate. Also - you want good diet advice? see a professional nutritionist - there is ALOT of good info. on the net but NONE is specific to YOU - ive never been leaner, stronger, lighter & fitter than when i had a program written for me. They really arent that expensive, especially for the piece of mind, but the first person you see may not be the best, so try find one with experience in the field you compete in - in this case boxing. Just trust & believe in what they say, follow it as close as possible for at least 6 weeks.
Running in the morning on an empty stomach won't burn muscle. After around 2 hours of running it will. And i doubt many people here run that far. As for cutting weight: 1. 5 days out from weigh in drink 2-3 gallons of water a day and use more salt on your food than normal. 2 days out begin cutting back on your water and salt. Use no salt and drink 1 gallon of water a day. the day of the weigh in drink no water till after. This will trick your body nto dropping more water weight. 2. On the day you begin excess water intake (5 days out) begin to stimulate water loss by using a mild diuretic like dandelion root. this will make your kidneys excrete more water. 3. 5 days out also seriously decrease your intake of carbohydrates. A gram of carbohydrate holds about 3 times its weight in water. Increase your Protein and Fat intake. 4. 5 days out and up to weigh in eat more fiber. You can bu fiber supplements. You can lose 1-2 pounds from this alone. After the weigh in: 1. DO NOT ****ING PIG OUT WITH ONE BIG MEAL. 2. Eat small portions of food every 1-2 hours up to the competiion. Drink gatorade as well. Eat your last meal 2 hours before your comp. That is all
I know this is kind of an old thread but you can never bring up this kind of stuff too much in my opinion. I just wanted to mention my own experience about an article that relentless posted, specifically talking about water intake. I used to drink a boat load of water because my kidney doctor was always saying how much I needed alot of water etc... Everybody was telling me how much I need to drink. They would say, keep drinking, keep drinking. So I did. I can't remember exactly how long after, but I started to have severe nausea, and malaise quite often throughout the week, somtimes lasting up to 3 or 4 hours or so each time. I literally thought I was going insane as well. Then it would gradually leave. It was consistant for a little over a year. I dreaded life for this alone. It was one of the worst feelings I have ever felt. I would feel it hit and would literally grovel on the carpet in utter agony. I went to my kidney doctor, and general doctor about the issue and they had no f'ing clue, and it didn't really seem that they gave a damn either. My general Doctor told me to drink more water, (Which was the actual f'ing problem!) I switched my general doctor to a new one and told him what I was going through. He did some bloodwork, and I ended up having Hyponatremia. I quit drinking so much water and I haven't had one of those horrible episodes since. It was so simple to cure. Hyponatremia is nothing nice. The definition of it on wikipedia is pretty accurate. I took this out of wikipedia and it is dead on. "As the hyponatremia worsens, confusion, diminished reflexes, convulsions, stupor or coma may occur" Don't drink too much water.
it was real funny as on th ehompage i was looking at the right saying last reply and it said 'making weight last reply by Death' that sums up makiing weight realy
Honestly you never cease to amaze me.. 14 times your bodyweight in calories? What on earth are you talking about? Every time i come on this training forum theres always some idiot giving out bull**** advice thats about as useful as a chocolate teapot. With that im off to the gym!!!
