Cutting weight for a meet

bawling: I need to lose about 8lbs for a meet on feb 22 , and I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on how to do it, or when to start. Any info would be apprecitated.
 
You can starve the last 2 days, and then drink some magnesium citrate. :D that will clean you out, or drop saome water weight in a sauna or with water pills, try not eating dinner one night and weighing yourself the next morning to see how far off you are first.
 
What the f? - I'm in the 242s. I thought you were doing the 275s?

Dammit. If you beat me I could say you were in the weight class above me you little shit.

Now you're going down.

I'll beat your ass in the bench. You'll beat mine in the squat. The deadlift is where it goes down. (Unless I beat you by 50 in the bench, and you beat me by 200 in the squat) -lol

It really depends on your current diet. If you drink everything but water, make the switch to nothing but water.....that can take you there by itself....increasing your fiber intake naturally or with psyllium husks is also something to try, as well as taking 2 doses of stacker or something similar every day until the meet....(you can take one day off a week to keep your tolerance low)

It's only 8 lbs man, no need to get crazy.
 
Well, I checked out my weight last night - 255. Oops. Guess I need to cut some too. I haven't even started on the pre-meet creatine yet.

Man, 21 more pounds and I can go to the 308s. Sweet!

But don't worry Majorle, I'll come down to the 242s to kick your ass. :)

Would you guys still take creatine before you weighed in even if you were trying to lose weight. Wouldn't creatine make you retain more water?
 
If you are trying to lose weight quick, creatine won't help your cause. It will make you hold more water.

Since your sqaut suit isn't as tight as you want it, I say start piggin out at the buffet and load on creatine. You'll be in the 275's, but you'll be stronger and you suit will fit better. Besides, cutting weight sucks.

Talk to ya later.
 
I second the no creatine...I'm 185 4 weeks out and just cut it...I'd rather lose the benefit of creatine, than the benefit of nutrition and hydration the last few days before....
 
Majorle, let's screw cutting. Let's both go into this at 275.

I don't feel like cutting weight and I don't care about setting records (other than PRs) - so let's just clean house in the 275s with you, me and kyle.

PS - Congrats on the 600 squat last night!

What meet are you guys doing?
 
Animalmass,
I have been kind of debating on whether or not i really wanted to diet down to 242 as well. My suit and briefs are not as tight as I wish, and will only get looser if i lose eight lbs. Also losing weight sucks, and i don't want to feel like shit for the meet. I haven't decided fully yet, but the more and more i think about doing it the less i want to. I better start eating.
