Losing 22 Pounds and staying at 10%BF Possible ?

(CLICK HERE here to view the original thread with full colors/images)




Posted by: projectaero

Hey guys.
Theoretically speaking if i was at 205 pounds (93 kilos) at 10%bf would it be hard for me get to 185 pounds (83 kilograms) at the same amount of bf (10%)

Would it involve alot of muscle loss and excessive cardio ??
Is it dangerous ?

Reason being is if i feel that 205 pounds is too much for me i can drop weight and fight pro at 185.

Cheers

You can drop some water before a fight, but not 20lbs. You can drop to 8% and then after that you will have to drop some muscle.

Pro at 185, what sport is that MMA??? How is your amature record???

your problem is to lose muscles ??....lol ..



Posted by: assassin

if you want to accomplish this , you will lose muscles ofcourse ...if you only lose fats only your bf% will drop .....also i don't suggest that you try to drop a lot of water , it will just decrease your performance..

Is your weigh in the night before?

Funny enough, I was talking to Dan Burzotta (sighs) about this the other night, cause both MMA and BBer dehydrate but for different purposes.

DAMN you just gave me an excuse to call him.

Well then, just do what the other fighters do, sauna suits in the sauna room, sweat it out, don't drink for the day before for the weigh in.

You can lose stacks of water. Not really healthy, but hey, if you are young and fit. It might make you feel seriously weak and sick as a D.O.G.

THEN after weigh in you start drinking and eating like a P.I.G to get your strength back up.

He also told me that Rich Franklin walks around at 205 lbs and does this the day before to get to 185 lbs. Fights at 205 though.

It is easier for bigger guys to lose more weight than smaller guys from water weight.

Hope this helps

Best way to get knocked out is to drop 15-20lbs of water before a fight.

yeah that's what i told him ...dehydration will decrease his performance .....any way losing 15 lbs even if he made some magic and lost them and remained at 10% bf his performance will decrease ....it's taxing for the body when losing weight.. speciall if done in a short period

This information I got from Dan Burzotta, he coaches Sure Grip Vale Tudo MMA and cage fighters in my gym.

Like I said, any excuse to phone him

Here's a few pictures of him and some of the lads training on Monday night

Next cage fighting for them is on Nov 4 in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England

A couple of women will be fighting too.

First pic is Tam, he is looking promising in the whole cage fighting thing, and, I think, a Muslim , next is Stav Crazy Bear (on top), third pic, Dan in white T-shirt.

I could give a sh-t who the loser is.....every fighter knows that droping huge amounts of water is very bad for your brain and opens you up to a KO. Just watch Boxing on HBO, Showtime or ESPN.....every great fighter and coach says it is very bad.
