weigh in...

[scootdude]

im worried about weigh in tomorrow at 8 am any suggestions on what i should be doing these last few hours? i cut down on food and im wondering what time i should stop drinking water...im trying to make 140, but i weigh 142 just wearing shorts

[fr0stbyte]

Stop drinking water now, or anything else. You can spit away 2 pounds by tomorrow. Get some Hubba Buba and start spitting into a cup. 1 liter = 1 kg ( 2.2lbs ) You would be surprised on how much you can spit. I know it's gross, but it works.

[fr0stbyte]

cut out food also, bring a bottle of pedialyte to restore your electrolytes after weigh in and a small meal to restore energy.

im assuming hubba bubba is gum...? no water at all???

[ArchDukeOfTops]

man, you can sweat out 2 pounds very easily. Hell, I can loose 2 lbs by just taking a ****.

Hubba Bubba is gum. You will be fine with no water for 15 hours.

sweating is the last resort. sweating drains your engery sooooo bad.



just stop drinking water and spit as much as you can.

Look, two pounds is nothing. Go put on a hoodie and run for 20 minutes, that should be around one pound. You'll probably float the rest off (floating weight means doing nothing yet losing weight, you can float 3-4 pounds sleeping if properly hydrated, around 1 if you aren't properly hydrated).

Im not a powerlifter and have never been to a competition or anything of the like, but just a small question i would like answered.

When is the actual lifting in comparision to the weigh in? Afterwards? and if so by how much time?

From what I know weigh-ins are almost always well before the competition.
By how many hours depends on the meet

the meet i will be attending, weigh in is at 8 am...and lifting starts at 10 am...so not too long, just long enough for me to eat and drink quite a bit

For Naitonals I lost 12lbs. 210-198. I went in a sauna and spit alot for 1 day. it wasnt fun.....

[scootdude]

damn dude, ill give you props for that, im soo freakin hungry and im only worried about a few pounds lol

[randall_truscot]

ya but after that weigh-in, the hotel wished they had never put in an "all you can eat" buffet. especially with 150 other lifters. lol

Dont eat the night before competition and then dont eat breakfast before weigh-in.
That should give you the 2 to 3 pounds

I'd do 20 minutes in a sauna and be done with it. Screw spitting all day

the sauna is very draining. thats a last resort. spitting doesnt do anything to your energy.

have your last meal at around 8 and make it kinda light... weigh in tomorrow, you will make weight and make sure that you get some kind of small bar or sandwhich but dont stuff yourslef right away with food because you need to stuff yourself with water first.... make sure you weigh in as early as possible so you have time to rehydrate yourself before the first lifts and after you get around 32 oz of water in you system wait a little while if your not to stuffed and get a sports drink,some more food and caffine. assuming your competition starts at 10:00 you should get all that water down by say 8:30-8:45 and the rest of the stuff down by 9:15-9:30... then just sip on water or another sports drink during each lift and in between each lift crush a sandwhich... well not every single lift or attemp but every exercise like after squat is done, and after bench is done
i weighed 182 the day before a meet in shorts and a t-shirt and planned on going in at 185... i ate and everything the night before but just didn't eat in the morning just incase and weigh-ins were only 10 minutes away from the motel... anyways though i weighed in at 174.8lbs and made the 175lb weight class and didn't even plan on it(it was a highschool meet so the weight classes were a lil different) and my friend weighed 167 and ate that night with water but didn't eat anything past 8, nothing in the morning, and weighed in at 161. so even if you treat it like a normal day you will still make weight... i would bet that you probably weigh at least 3-4 pounds more at the end of the day than you do in the morning after a **** and piss.
