dry cutting
This is another weight cutting thread, but with a different twist. Ive read the two really long weight cutting threads, and the shorter ones too.
I've cut the dehydrate, plastics way for multi days before weigh in for years. Ive got that part down to a pretty good science, but my ****bolism is slowing down a bit, and the weight cutting is getting tough.
Off season i walk around 150, pretty healthy...during wrestling season im usually 136-138. I cut down to 125 if its scratch weight.
This is for wrestling not mma which i dont have to worry about cutting there. Time after weigh-ins has a rule, but most events start about 2 hours after weigh-in, plus im the lowest weight class so im first up.
My question is, im curious about 'dry cutting'. Ive read where you have a schedule like this:
mon 2 gallons, only day with carbs
tue 2 gallons extra salt added to all healthy food
wed. 2 gallons extra salt
thurs. 1 gallon distilled no salt at all...no processed foods
friday. 1 liter after am workout, nothing besdies maybe a power bar,
saturday. nothing/weigh ins 7am to 1am
I would love to try this scenario out, as i think it would prevent me from being dehyrdated a shorter period of time. Im just worried that i would be 15 pounds over mid day friday.
Usually my 10 lbs come off friday like this: Since i have an am workout, my ****bolism will burn 1-2 through the day. Wrestling practice will be about 4 pounds (im a skinny guy) and ill hit up a sauna friday night and lose another 3. If im still over by more than 2 pounds ill take an epsom salt bath before bed. I lose about 1 lb in my sleep. If i am over in the morning i can get rid of a pound with out working too hard..ie spit, and a little bike.
If im fully loaded with water going into friday, will all those numbers just increase...ie ill burn 2-3 lbs through the day, practice 5 pounds, 4 in the sauna?
I would ask my coach, but im not a fan of this weight practices...pretty extreme dehyrdation.
Also please dont say, lose fat or move up a weight class. Number one im skinny, really no fat too lose. Number two i cant go up to 133 as i wouldnt have a spot. #3 i got scholarship money next year if i can stay 125, thus i need to keep competing at that spot.
Thanks for input
