Cutting Weight for Tomorrow…
Nothing much else to say. I’m 9lbs over the limit for middleweight right now. Cut’s been going pretty well considering I haven’t been that strict. I was at 210lb Saturday night and am 199lbs right this minute. I all goes very well I’ll be at 189.9lb for weigh-in’s tonight. Otherwise, I’ll be doing the under 200lb division.
cutting by diet, fluid restriction, sauna or ?
yes to all three; I was on a work trip last week which screwed things up. When I weighed myself Saturday night I was 208lb. This morning I was 199lb and weigh-ins were at 6pm and I made 188.5lb. The max for my weight class is 189lb.
We’ll just say that 3 hours in the sauna was not any fun at all, but I made it with a lot of help from my teammates and will probably be close to 200lb tomorrow for my first match.
How did the tournament/match(es) go?
Really fun no-gi match. I lost but we were both aggressive and always busy. I got a participation medal since there were just two of us in my division.
Gi match was annoying. I pulled guard and the guy got two points and proceeded to stall for the rest of the match. Never went for a sub or a new position just flattened me out. Lost 0-2.
Good time and the weight cut didn’t affect my cardio, can’t wait for the next one.
