I am a girl in 30's and I need to determine my weight class. With 2X a week exercise and donuts, pizza and drinks I weight between 128~ 132 lbs. Then about 6 months ago I decided to compete (amatuer), and started 5 x a week hard training. I dropped to 122 lbs without much diet. Last month I entered 119 lbs class, and my weight was 115.5 lbs. ( I think the scale was off, but other girls said no) After the fight I was around 117, and now I weigh 119 lbs.
I am watching what I am eating, so to go down, I need a little bit more effort, but I think it's possible. Since I am a totally uneducated beginner boxer, I need advice.I prefer 114 lbs competitors
I hear losing 5% of the normal weight is a good way to go, but I can't determine what my normal weight is anymore.
They say if you lose weight you lose strength. Does this mean you feel weak or you don't have a power in the punch when you are lighter?
In other words, if I can make 114 lbs and not feel weak, then is this O.K. weight for me? Please advice!
