havent looked in on this board for quite some time....battlehawk...this is going to sound a dumb question,but are you fighting competetively ? and if so at what level ? i ask this because i found your comment about not being tested very strange...also you are fighting every 3/4 weeks :shock: :shock: ...you are either very good and walking through people or very bad and only lasting seconds
... the time it takes to heal up and then train yourself to a peak again is much more than 3 / 4 weeks...also,are you training in a bodubuilding gym? if you are,you shouldnt be,the last thing you need to be doing if you are competing is being around bodybuilders,there diet and training will be totally different to yours,and you certainly dont want to be lifting heavy weights at all...
regarding your weight,i presume if you have come down a weight division you was easily making weight previously which again is strange,as you know the divisions in this sport is not like boxing where 4/5 pounds seperates divisions,why was you competing above your natural weight ?...losing 7 pounds in 24 hours is not a lot to ask and a pretty good position to be in 24 hours out,you will lose half of that in your sleep....get yourself in a sweatsuit and into the sauna,you,ll be surprised how quick that comes off...if you can jump on an exercise bike while in the sauna then all the better and all the quicker but be careful you dont overdo it!...if you are weighing in the day before or more than 10 hours before then as soon as you have made weight rehydrate yourself and get some food in you...the last thing you want is to be fighting a man a stone heavier than you which believe me,happens a lot when someone doesnt understand the principles of making weight.....all the best...LL
