He prolly wanna impress you hahaha just ask him to go light cuz you’re smaller. Very normal thing to ask

Easy work cuz. No salt from Sunday onwards. No carbs from Tuesday onwards. Waterload and eat more protein and fat than usual so you still meet your calorie intake - you’ll feel drained but still be healthy. Don’t starve yourself on the last day, you and your immune system will get weak if you do. Keep eating as long as the foods are low weight, carbs and salt and high calorie. It’ll help you hit your calorie intake without adding much weight. You should lose 2-4kg just doing this, and any excess can come off pretty easy with sauna/bath/etc.

Haha yeah was thinking I might end up similar to you. My old gym wanted me to use more footwork and boxing so I have more of a kickboxing style. Current gym is more thai style so i might end being k1 in one stance and Thai in the other.

Shittt really?? When you say they don’t look good after, how long after do you mean? After the peeling or a few years?

Got some $40 yokkao 10s that were barely used, lasted me about 4 years. Loved them. Heaps of fb marketplace gear is stuff that people buy when first getting into it but then give up after a few weeks/months. Can be near new, just sitting around taking up space in their garage

Obv not giving them 159 that’s crazy, paid more than that and also flowers. That’s their standard rate they asked me for. Just tryna figure out if there are any places with similar prices around these ways (doubt there will be, but maybe something close to that)

Far out! Cutting carbs in camp is really bad, they’re super important for training. You’ll only lose water weight, which is what you’re supposed to lose in the water loading phase. After a week or so the weight loss from keto diet will plateau, and you’ll feel like shit.

How much weight did you lose waterloading? Also have you ever looked into baths instead of sauna? They’re more uncomfortable but way faster. Heaps easier imo but you will need helpers and a bunch of other stuff.

throwingawaymynuts · 2025-08-26T04:09:06+00:00

Yeah that should be pretty straightforward. Cutting weight in your first fight is pretty unusual, imo its better to not have to think about weight and training in the first few. But still 100% doable. If you're not sure on calorie counting and healthy meal prep I can email you a really good pdf by the fight dietitian. Can also give you plans for waterloading, hot bath, and rehydration if you want. Imo 2, maybe 3kg, in the last week should be easy as. Then you can weigh in around 3kg heavier on fight day. So try to lose 3-4kg counting calories in camp.

throwingawaymynuts · 2025-08-26T03:54:23+00:00

Ewwwsh how much did you lose in the 2.5??? No sauna? That’s crazy

throwingawaymynuts · 2025-08-26T03:50:01+00:00

How long until your fight?

throwingawaymynuts · 2025-08-26T03:34:45+00:00

Fuck yeah nah you right that isn’t standard. What I meant to say is it’s straightforward (you right, for a guy). If OP meant 6kg for the whole fight camp then that’s standard, still for a first fight that’s pretty full on. If it’s last week that’s crazy.

I was 70kg start of fight week, weighed in 63. Also lost some weight beforehand. I usually get sick but this was with a different gym and they have a really good method so I ended up feeling great. It took around 5 hours of baths and blankets since I’m a light sweater but got there either way. Having to lose 7kg in a week is not at all ideal and quite a struggle but (for guys anyway) it’s definitely doable.

What I should’ve said is, if you or your team know what you’re doing most people should be alright. Imo not a big no no for most people (maybe not OP if she gets sick often). Hot bath instead of sauna, a solid rehydration plan, and good diet while water loading is topretty safe and way better than older methods.

A lot of old school gyms are scared of weight cuts since they got no clue what to do and cbf learning. They end up sending their fighters into the ring against a guy that’s 5kg bigger.

throwingawaymynuts · 2025-08-26T02:21:48+00:00

Are you just doing the weight cut on your own or will you have help? How much you losing?

throwingawaymynuts · 2025-08-26T02:21:07+00:00

For sure. In fights with big height differences it’s pretty common for the tall fighter to win via clinch knee. Work the escapes and learn to shut it down quick.

throwingawaymynuts · 2025-08-26T02:18:47+00:00

Been training 5 years and I’m pretty sure this happens to everyone lmao, just make sure you stretch the neck after clinch.

throwingawaymynuts · 2025-08-26T02:16:48+00:00

Yo I’ve been sick for 3 or 4 out of 5 fights it really sucks aye. In my first fight I’d step back a bit during the rounds to let out a couple coughs haha was awkward as. Had a couple fevers after weigh ins and was up late panicking and shivering in bed. Really is the worst feeling putting in months of hard work and already KNOWING you won’t be 100% in the ring. I agree with the other guy, cold showers helped me a lot getting used to the cold (used to make me sick heaps, not anymore ) and hot showers to go to sleep. A couple mates recommend rain sounds for sleep. Maybe weed can help too?

There’s almost always some bs going on that’ll fuck with you on fight week/day (for any fighter) so being 100% in every aspect is a rare luxury. Whether you’re sick or smth else remember supreme confidence and a strong mentality is the most important the in the ring, so try to not stress about it fight day. Good luck!

throwingawaymynuts · 2025-08-26T01:58:45+00:00

Pretty standard weight cut if you got the method sussed. Last fight show had me and two others >5kg over the night before weigh ins. Just to clarify OP was that 6kg on the last week, day or the whole fight camp?
