Amateur, its going to be my first fight truthseeker1 04-25-2009, 03:55 PM For the fight I have to be 140lbs (10 stones for UK) but Im currently at 154. Is it possible to shift this weight off in 3 weeks? Im getting pretty worried It depends. If you walk around at 11 stone then it's possible. But if you've got down to 11 with a lot of training, and despite regular training your weight is still 11 then of course it's going to be more difficult.

However, if not, it's more than possible. I dropped 10 pounds in 1.5 weeks just from eating right and doing moderate exercise. 14 lbs in 3 weeks is not hard if you're eating like **** right now. The_One77 04-26-2009, 01:52 PM oh, just found out i only have to lose 7-8 pounds Thank god! elfag 04-26-2009, 02:07 PM yeah amateur weight classes are different Domey 04-26-2009, 03:26 PM Well now that it's only 7-8lbs that is alot easier. But why would you try and lose 14lbs only three weeks before an amature fight? I've said this time and time again. Amatures need to realize pro's cut the weight and they have 24 hours to rehydrate and replenish their body. As an amture you have a few hours at max. You are killing your body and just hurting yourself, and will not be able to perform as good as you should/can. Cutting a few pounds is fine, and theres nothing wrong with that. But as an amature you shouldn't just cut a bunch of weight right before a fight. You should be gradually losing that weight so your body will get accustomed to it. Keeping yourself in shape and maintaining your fight weight will help you out tons. That way when you have a fight, you are already at your weight or only 2-3 pounds over, and that can be cut in one good night of conditioning. |
