How to Water Cut: Lose 15lbs in ONE week

This is the exact process I used on how to cut water weight for my lightweight class strongman competition. I lost just under 15lb in two day's, with a 3 day water loading process before, and then a day after to refeed and rehdyrate!

Thanks so much for watching the video!

I need to cut from 195lbs to 170lbs. I want to drop 2 weight classes for wrestling

Currently on my no intake day and I already have seen results down from 215 to 207. Let’s see how today goes 💪

On my water load days should I be trying to sweat? Or is that counterintuitive until 2 days before weight ins?

Thanks bro. I am trying to become under 202 lbs for boxing. If it works I will hit you up!

The other thing to note is that in most cases is not a solution for a “weightloss” competition due to the fact that majority of the time they will be checking your over all body composition. You can lose 10-15 lbs in a couple days but you will mostly be flushing water not fat. You also risk muscle loss. Last you will definitely put this weight back on immediately.

Water cutting is really only something fighters use to make weight or potentially some one cutting for a body building show. It’s completely useless for the every day person trying to lose weight.

No idea if you’ll see this. But during your process how did your weight look through the week roughly. Sunday through Tuesday I assume you were gaining weight because of the water loading. And then Wednesday, you notice a few pounds off (3-4?) and then Thursday you pee and sweat off the rest?

It’s 5 pm on Wednesday where I’m writing this. And hoping I’ll still be able to get the next 10 pounds off (got 5 off already), the rest of today and into Thursday. Am i on the right track or is there something more I should be doing regarding sweating. Weigh-in is Friday at noon.

Is this method also useful for getting a leaner face?

This video is old but very useful knowledge! Im wondering if you’d advise to use diuretics/ epson salt bathes in conjunction with wed/thurs cutting?

Weighed 178 Monday Morning… weighed 169 Saturday morning at weigh ins. Trust the process. If you need to squeeze out some more weight, sauna and hot tub will do the trick along side doing this water manipulation.

This water manipulation will have you lose about 8-9 pounds without having to do anything less. Anything more then that will be dependent on just making yourself sweat!!

I need to cut down to about 180 in 4 weeks. Ima try this

[BRIGADIERJ]

Just need help that with sodium I start getting cramps and feel kinda dizzy

a very informative video thanks a lot
i have a question
do you do this without a supervisor or doctor?

[nooneytunes]

A good way to understand how bad a hot bath can really be is to watch cris cyborg’s episode of weight cutting…. She literally cries

[gustavoramirez]

Did you weigh a lot more than your original weight during the water loading? I just started and I feel like I’m weighing way too much, it’s making me a bit nervous.
A lot can I do cardio and weight lifting during the process?

Hey, I got a question, so my weigh in is 8pm on a Friday, what day should I start my weight cut? Would it be Sunday or Monday?
