1. Cutting Weight for a MMA Fight or a Day
Before Weight in Tournament.
Cutting Weight for a Day before weight in versus a same day weight in
then go right into competing is a lot different. Today we are going to
deal with cutting weight (water) for a day before weight in.
The first thing is to get your weight within 5 percent of your body
weight so if you are 200 pounds you will cut 10 pounds of water. So you
should be within 10 pounds of your goal weight hydrated. At the 24 hr
mark you are going to cut out all food and water. I usually like to cut
about 3 or 4 pounds the first night before I go to sleep. You can do this a
couple of different ways. You can run/walk it off with sweats on. Or sit
in a Sauna. Or a crazy hot bath. Any of these ways you can lose about a
pound every 10 minutes. I prefer to use the bath tub way because a
Sauna you have to breath the hot air taxing your lungs. When you
run/walk you are using energy and since you won't be able to take any
food in you don't recover as well. But everyone is different. Then I try to
get a good night’s sleep.
The next morning I wake up and repeat the process. I will have usually
lost 1 to 2 pounds overnight leaving me 3-4 pounds away from my goal.
Again I repeat the process from the night before. I usually try to get my
weight down all the way about 2 hours before the actual weight in. This
way I have a buffer in case I have a harder time then expected losing
weight I can still make it.
Rehydration process
I take in a litter of liquid usually 1/2 water 1/2 Gatorade. I also take in a
tablespoon of salt with a little water (taste terrible) I repeat this process
for the first 4 hours before I eat anything else. This allows your stomach
to recover and not be messed up the following day. This allows you to
put more weight on and recover that much better for your match or fight
the following day.
