Mask and layers for cutting weight?

[ContiJack]

I was talking to a friend of mine earlier today who is getting ready for a fight (mma). He needs to cut about 15 lbs--so he's treadmill running in some rather heavy gear: sauna suit, 2 sweatsuits, full warmup suit, and running gloves. The kicker is he also cut eyeholes in a hoodie and is wearing it backwards as a tight facemask while he runs. Thankfully, I think he's doing much of this running at home with the heat turned up.

Is he insane? I couldn't really advise him either way... Has anybody else ever worn this many layers or worn this type of mask to cut weight before?

That reminds me of the good ol' days when I had to make weight for wrestling. I would have 3 sets of sweats top to bottom on and all the hoods on,then I would run miles.I used to keep it on during School sometimes too.I wouldnt keep the hoods on of course.ahaha

thats way way too much. tell ur friend to do wut he's gotta do and **** to make weight, but he's gotta stay within like 8 pounds or so of his fight weight cuz that **** is too much to lose like that he's gonna be weak as hell for the fight...

He could actually die due to overheating the body. If he faints and he is by himself in that hot ass suit, he will be in big trouble.

I once trained in a sweat suit with a t-shirt over it and a pair of tracksuit bottoms, needless to say i threw up all over the place and started to feel real faint and dizzee. I cant imagine what good he's gona do running with all that **** apart from making himself ill. plus it's all water weight and when he next drinks it's all going to go back on again.

#1. Where the hell is his coach???????? I've known people who have gone to extreme dramatics to cut (myself and brothers included) but he is not being very smart about.

#2. pleae dont tell me he did this a few days out because it id futile and he will only hurt himself. all weight he will lose he'll put back ion within a few hours. If you are cutting water you do that day or the night before. I pray his weigh in is the day before and not day of.

Why would you layer with a suana suit? that sounds just plain ridiculous.... honestly, i think your friend is exxagerating his cutting methods. thats a sure way to make yourself very sick. this is coming from me, and i have done several extreme cuts, and what he is doing sounds just plain dumb. he should have someone walking him through it step by step on a several day span. he should be spending several days preparing his body for a massive water shed, then cutting like 10lbs in two days.... not just sweating daily.
