Fluid retention

[auslifta]

Keep your water intake up as you have been. Stay within 2-3kgs of fight weight. If you need to drop the water for a weigh in you can drop 2-3kgs in about 12-16 hrs if done properly. I dont understand the reasoning for weekly weigh ins? Usually a weigh in is done once before a fight, then as soon as its over, consume electrolytes and water before the fight. It is dangerous to be water depleted, and really not good for a fighter. I would not recommend carb depletion for a fighter either, thats just stupid! Either move up a weight class if you can't maintain your weight within 2kgs or look for a different sport.
