50 pounds quick

[Darkstranger]

50lbs is alot of weight to lose. That could be the equivalent of a 91kg Super Heavyweight dropping down to the 75kg Middleweight division. Like someone else mentioned, you need to find out what your body fat percentage is. Also as far as I know, a Cruiserweight division still hasn't been introduced into Amateur Boxing. At 200lbs you'd be in the Heavyweight Division (91kg).

im 255 but alot of it came from powerlifting back in the day but i do have alot of fat on me. i need to get back to cruiser weight were i once used to be at. i plan on lifting again once i get the weight down also.

You gained weight while powerlifting? Something isn't right there.

I can't tell whether you're being sarcastic or not..?

That kind of weight is going to take months .The most you hear about is Ricky Hatton 30 odd pound .That will take alot out of you putting your body through that. All I can think of , if I was in your shoes I would defintley limit if not stop drinking alcahol and plan a training diary and stick to it.Keep a log of diet training and weight .

Dude just don't rush with the weight let it come off slowy and natrually, and be careful you don't take to much water off the brain thats how you get seriouly hurt. Drastic weight cutting most of the time is a no no

Hey bud, I was in the exact same boat as you last year.

I started training to fight and I was very out of shape. I am 6'4 and I weighed 238 pounds at the time. I have a tall athletic build so it was way too much weight for me.

I began with the idea of getting to cruiserweight like yourself and then when I got to 200 I realized I still had 10 useless pounds on me. When I lost those I realized I was only 12 pounds from LHW.

Long story short I dropped from 238 to 182 pounds and it took about 6 months.

I am about to go out for the night but I will tell you one thing, I did not accomplish it by running miles up miles upon miles.

I lifted weights and supplemented the whole time an increased my bench max nearly 100 pounds in the time that i lost 55.

Your diet is more important than running alot.

I will PM you with some specific things I did cause I'm not gonna bother to post them here so a bunch of *******s can tell me what else I should have done.

I will get back to you in the next couple days, I am very busy on weekends so if you don't hear from me by monday give me a friendly reminder, i dont come into this forum often.

water off the brain? what does that mean?

Lift weights.


Low intensity jogging will help you lose fat, and muscle. So about half of the weight you will end up losing will be precious lean muscle tissue.

I would recommend high intensity interval training. Like sprints.

You nail it man, I was 195lbs at the beggining of this year, in less than 2months I was following this exact same routine and lost 35 pounds quick.....

water off the brain? what does that mean?

When your trying to lose drastic weight quick, and water will not budge off your body, it will take fluid away from the brain, and if you take some heavy punches to the brain you can get seriouly damaged, Gerald McClellan before the Benn fight lost a amount of drastic weight and he took to much fluid off the brain and look what happened. Most of the time especially in boxing drastic weight cutting is no good!

yeah, you want to jack your heart rate and raise your metabolism. eating more protein than carbs would also help you and doing plyometrics, like hurpees

..if you have to cut some weight fast before a fight, like 5 or 6 lbs, i'd recommend getting a colonic
