6 pounds a week? The only way you'll manage that is either by complete starvation or by weighing in very dehydrated..
I am 5'2" tall, and am 114 lbs. I am hoping to compete in the 103 lb weight class this wrestling season.
Weight Scedule
2 Weeks from now-First weigh in, body fat % check.
3 Weeks from that, matches start.
So I need to be down to 103 for one day in two weeks, and then need to stay around 106 the day before the rest of the season.
I know that people recomend losing no more than two lbs a week, but that clearly won't work. What kind of diet could I use that would help me lose the least muscle / any tips?

Drop water. Done correctly and one can lose 8-10 pounds of water in a day or 2.

eat no carbs for a 5 days prior to the weigh in.
If sense were common, everyone would have it.

and almost no sodium for you.
Exellent. I was 112 today, so only 9 to go now. So, 5 days before, no carbs, no sodium. 1 day before, no food, and workout in sweats before the weigh in. Thanks
Edit: Oh shaz, they do hydration testing through urine. Anyway I could bypass this? Would mply adding water to urine work?

What do they do, look at the color of your piss? Make sure you don't take a vitamin that day.
I wouldn't worry too much about sodium, just don't add any since most low carb meals will have plenty in the meat or cheese, etc.

If it's a ketone strip you might wanna scratch the no carb deal.

I never said it was healthy but you would make weight requirements. I would never suggest wrestling that day though.Originally Posted by PreMier

Ketones are a breakdown product of fat, the strip would tell if you are doing it right or if you are losing too much muscle. I guess that is what he means, I donīt think it is very precise though.![]()
I was too lazy to read the above posts, I donīt even think that you are talking about this.![]()
This really doesn't sound so healthy...no food for one day? working out in sweats? severe dehyration and possibly passing out...Originally Posted by Mindless
What the hell condition are you going to be in when you have to wrestle in a week or so after fasting and not drinking water for so long?
I don't need wrestle then, the weigh-in is for certification only.

I did this for eight years of high school and college wrestling I would be 210 on the off-season, for the first match be at 189, and before the middle of the season i would be at 171. The techniques used to drop the weight fast are not very good for the body but i got all the weight down in about a month.
But they could do some long term damage. Are you actually going to go through with this hawk?
