a lot of you guys don't know shlt about boxing. it's the norm to lose 10lbs of water weight the night before the weigh in. If you've ever boxed or wrestled in highschool you would know. In HS i would walk around at 165. Friday I wouldn't eat at all and I would practice hard for about 3 hours. by the end of the day I was around 157. I'd lose 3 lbs sleeping then I'd wake up saturday morning and weigh in at 154. We had same day weigh ins. I'd drink a **** load of gatorade and eat and I was at 160+ 2 hours later.

I'm sorry but this is a blatant lie. I wrestled in HS and no coach would ever allow their athletes to do something like this. They know your training regime and how you cut weight, so you also wouldn't be able to do it without them knowing. Coach was all over us about weight that no one would ever attempt, let alone get away with something like that.

Not eating all day and working out hard for 3 hours? GTFO...and lose 3 lbs sleeping? Where did it go?? Did it evaporate?

And "drink a **** load of Gatorade" and put it back on in 2 hours?

When you rehydrate, you sip little by little. That kind of preparation for wrestling or a fight would leave your body close to being in shock and wouldn't be able to perform.

Everything about that post was 100% fabricated.

The number one thing you do when trying to cut water weight is.........DRINK WATER! When you cut off water intake your body stores what you have in you.
