    12 lbs, decisons.

    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?

    6 pounds a week? The only way you'll manage that is either by complete starvation or by weighing in very dehydrated..

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

    And this is why you see collegiate wrestlers dying from heat exhaustion..

    Put on a hoodie and sweats, and sit in a sauna. Or better yet, do jumping jacks in there.

    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.

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

    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.

    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 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?
