Here we will examine, in practical terms, the necessary science of dehydration and the most effective modifiers and methods for attaining competition weight while minimizing muscle and organ damage. Our methods are almost identical, and I’ll include some of his suggestions. This process was designed for competitions with a 24-hour weigh in period prior to the competition. It was all done entirely through sweating to lose the weight and drinking/eating to replenish it. I did this without any type of diuretics or IVs. (I went from 250 lbs to 219 lbs for the 2007 Arnold in 22 hours.) I put it all back on in less than a day too. What follows is a brief summary of the process I have successfully used to cut up to 30 lbs in less than 24 hours. Here is how he begins his 2007 article on cutting weight: He is one of the most successful powerlifters in history, with incredible totals at both 220 lbs. Cutting weight is a prerequisite for elite competition in such sports - period. This post will also therefore serve as a primer for armchair critics who should do more due diligence. The kickboxing anecdote was controversial because those who cried foul have never competed in weight-class-based sports. Even if you have no need to cut weight, after reading this, you will know more about organ function and hydration than 99% of all athletes in the world…

This post will explain exactly how it’s done - the techniques, the “drugs”, the science - and include excerpts from a series of articles I wrote for Powerlifting USA in 2004 called “The New Technology of Water”. I arrived the on-site at 187 lbs., weighed in at 165 lbs., and stepped on the platform to compete the next morning weighing 193 lbs. This is perhaps the most controversial accomplishment in the 4HWW, as I make it clear:
weight class (here is a video sample of Sanshou). In 1999, I was a gold medalist at the Sanshou (Chinese kickboxing) national championships in the 165-lb. in less than 20 hours, which produced a rather unpleasant 120 beat-per-minute resting pulse while attempting to sleep. So let’s add another item to the list of impossibles: I have lost more than 20 pounds in less than 24 hours on more than a dozen occasions. Losing 20+ pounds of fat in one month without exercise? Impossible, or so claim the skeptics. Gaining 34 pounds of lean mass in 28 days? Impossible, or so claim the skeptics. For thousands of athletes, cutting weight is a critical science.
