Cutting water - help from EXPERIENCED lifters!!
I had THOUGHT I was 133, but it turns out the batteries needed to be changed in my goddamn scale. I actually weigh 137 and that depresses me just slightly, haha. I will be doing an actual cut down to 125 at the beginning of March, but right now I don't have time for that.
So, my meet is on the 26th of February, and it's pretty important to me that I get into the 132 class, but I also can't afford to lose strength. I'd be able to maybe drop a lb. or two of actual fat over the next few weeks, but not much more. Does anyone have help for this? |

Well, the easiest way to do so would be to drink purely fruit juice (or water) and run a lot (long distance), esp. right before the weigh in time. I think a lot of this gibber gabber about strength loss is bull crap... I've fasted 5 days before and my lifts were stronger if nothing else. Just go in with a positive attitude and an empty gut and you should be fine.
I probably should append that I'm not really a competitive lifter, I just like experimenting and that what I wrote up are based on observations I made myself about myself so you might want to take it with a grain of salt. You could also try a protein modified sparing fast if something more mild is your cup of tea (I like ~<Body Weight for protein and as much brocolli as you can eat without appearing a glutton.) |
I have a suggestion, but it may or may not be legal depending on the fed you are competing in.
Try an ECA stack (without the A though). This is of course if you are ok to be using OTC supplements to help you. Anyways, go to CVS or Walgreens pharmacy section and ask for a box of Bronkaid. Make sure it is the bigger box with 60 caps. Then pick up a bottle of No-Doz that is also a 60ct bottle. This should cost no more than $20 and last you 20-30 days depending on how often you take it. General recommendation is 2-3 times a day take one cap of each. You will be a little warmer than normal, which is fine because it is the winter, but you will be burning fat. I just finished my first box and have dropped 5-10lbs since Jan 1. If you just want to lose water weight fast, just take the No-Doz. The caffeine is a diuretic and you will lose a lot of water quite fast. Hope this helps. Also I don't want to start a OTC vs natural debate, just giving her another option. |
