how would I cut about 5-10 any not feel sluggish on the fight day? some boxing promoters I fight for require us to step on the scale 30 minutes before we fight. Obviously what you said about losing fat then weight would be nice.

I think you'd want to be REAL careful with de-hydration. You have almost no time to re-hydrate, and being dehydrated will definetly effect your performance. Plus, if I remember correctly, you're more prone to concussion/brain damage when de-hydrated.
I'd think water cutting would not suit you for 30 min weigh in at all.

Went distilled/4 meals starting yesterday. Did the same today.
All lean protein and leafy vegetables except PWO on Monday I had a banana, an apple and a shake. That is the only thing I can possibly think of that would have skewed the cut, but I figured because it is just a weight approval weigh-in that I could recover a little better on Monday with the shake and still lose a lot of water.

Gosh........
If its your job to be an athlete, I understand.
But, if I got a job, have less time to work out and eat correctly, I can't do a lot of these things.
So, this all sounds great, but I gotta create my own diet. I do realize this is for "cutting" weight and not "losing" weight.
Yeah, if I gotta find the time to eat every 2 or 3 hours a day, lol, that ain't gonna happen if I get one lunch break.
In fact, I'm postponing getting a 2nd job in order to lose some weight. Cuz I know that when I get my ideal job, I ain't gonna have any time to workout and eat correctly. I'll get in shape first and then advance my income. Won't be able to ask my manager "hey, can I have some days off? I need time to get in shape".

My cuts have been pretty rough.
Being a small guy sucks =(. I am trying to get my weight down and the growth allowance will kick in soon, but I'm looking at my third potentail sauna trip tomorrow. I have been able to control myself for the most part, but all of those cookies on Saturday beckoned! Combine that with my knee injury and I am questionable for my meet.
Season has not been going well. I might take the next two matches or so off to get my weight down and to heal up my knee.

What do you guys consider an easier/better transition... cutting weight (including muscle mass) and competing in a lower weight category or building muscle mass and competing in a higher weight class. Do you think there is more of a psychological advantage from being smaller but knowing you're fighting smaller guys, or getting bigger and fighting bigger guys but feeling stronger yourself? Or is it all just personal decision? I'm right between to weight classes and trying to figure out which way to go. Thanks

I was also wondering this. Any answers? (Maybe it should be in its own thread)
