Cutting weight for amatuer

[Luke]

cheers Oli and Luke

as Oli says i guess it all just depends on the day and the individual, ive done about 7-8lbs but over a period of time, i think (hope) it wont affect my energy levels as ive practically made weight already and still have 14 days to go

Certainly. My first fight, I spent 4 minutes in fetal position pretty much yet didn't get tapped!. 2nd fight I gathered a bit more energy, but I got taken down pretty quickly but intercepted a triangle, fought and got it. It was the only move I made pretty much all day

word of advice... after the weigh ins dont eat a chicken tikka roll... as thats what i did.. and i puked after my first fight which was just before my second, and i puked after the second aswell... i won them both.. but i puked none the less lol

Try and get a copy of 'The Grapplers Guide to Nutrition'. Very good book, and talks about on the day weighs and day before.

I followed it for my first semi-pro fight going form 74kg to 70kg and it worked well. Also know a lot of other fighters who have followd it, or something very similar.
