dude, no way. besides its very unhealthy, if you COULD drop that much weight, you'd probably have no energy and probably str loss too due to the extreme diet and cardio you would have to go on and though you may drop a weight class, it would probably do your performance more harm than good. I say take it to the big guys and show em whats up. Good luck.

You would end up loosing water, fat, and muscle. By the time you lose the weight, with the muscle loss you would be much weaker.

I really would not suggest it. You do not have adequite time to cut properly. You should focus your training instead on how to take down those bigger guys.

There is no safe/healthy way that you can lose that weight, in such little time.

three ways:

carb manipulation
sodium manipulation
water manipulation

...in tandem.

Starting now, cut your carb intake out completely.. consuming only protein and fat. Increase your water intake at this point. Keep sodim at normal levels.

Do one glycogen depleting workout per day and your normal complement of cardio.. but not as intensely because you'll be treading a fine line here with regard to maintaining muscle.

3 days away from the weigh-in.. cut your sodium intake.. keep your water intake high.

The night prior to the weigh-in add a low dose diuretic

The morning of the weigh-in, consume another low dose of diuretics.

Weigh yourself prior to the weigh-in. Your water intake should be high still.. but you should be pissing like a race horse. If you're within a lb or two of the weight-class piss some more.

If not(5-6 lbs over).. go for a jog

And repeat the weigh-in process.

At the weigh-in you can manipulate the scale to yield a favourable result also.

Provided it's not digital.. if you lean slightly backwards you will change your centre of balance with relevance to the counter balance system that most scales operate on... throwing your weight down a couple lbs.

Good luck
