Just did it for 35 minutes all in but my head. Damn that shit was something else. Good stuff on making it 50. I’m shredded now for my competition. Thanks for being the best video out here for this. This took off another 5 pounds of water after losing 15 already with sauna and water loading.
No problem
Awesome video. I've always know the recipe to only be one bag of salt and 1 bottle of green alchohol. I bet Bet Chael gave you double numbers because most people do the bath twice. But then again your tub is a lot bigger than most hotel bathtubs. So maybe it's not that far off.
We are talking about Chael so maybe he does double the recipe. Lol. Great video. I'll sub that all day.
For those who don’t know this is another way fighters cut weight. Highly effective but the weight DOES NOT stay off!!
Yeah dude it’s water you’re dehydrated your body and sucking all the water out of it 8lbs in a hour isn’t even a lot for your first bath
Wasn't doing it to lose weight, I just wanted to see how it affects me training after.
@@SticksandStonesBJJhow did it affect you training
That’s not entirely true. Although yes you dehydrate the body however. You do lose some fat in the process too. Big example, Look at Paddy pimblet for instance. Ol’ pal has an eating disorder. Cuts weight about 30lbs and looks like an anorexic. Just to go eat wet soaked sandwich subs afterwards from a fight with the Italians, get pizza, wings, the ball game hotdogs food, etc. And he repeats it again ofc
Gotta cut 10lbs in 6 days for a tournament this is definitely gonna help!
Just be careful you will be dehydrated
Wow brother I wish I saw this video when I was boxing years ago. I have a BJJ comp Saturday morning. Should I do this the night prior? Or two days prior? I’m afraid if I do it the night before or two nights before the weight will come back on. What do you advise? Thank you again for such an informative video.
Careful with it you will be weak
BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA
I love the "45 minute sucks....." - I knew it before you even said it because your face says it all. LOL
It was no joke getting close to the hour mark
What does the alcohol do in the tub? And how are you breathing that?
You can do it with just water dnt have to add anything to it its just to sweat out excess however the abeline does help out though.....p.s. im a fighter
I do it with water all the time, but it's not nearly as intense!
Wow
How long does it stay off? Can I do this day before weigh in? 129lbs trynna hit 125lbs
Yes you can but I do this the day of weigh ins I have 3 pounds and weight ins in 4 hours
As long as you don't rehydrate
No1 says how many grams in the bags or how many milli-litre of alcohol to pour in =(
The bottles of green rubbing alcohol are 16oz the bags of salt are 3lbs because I have a garden tub if you have a smaller tub you can probably get away with less
What type of pain do you feel when you do this ?? Just that it burns??
No pain just draining
Any alternatives to albolene?
You can go without it however it opens up the pores
Dude, that's the most expensive Epsom salt lol . They sell way bigger bags for cheaper.
Usually you do this in sets of 4 rounds for 15 minutes and 10 minutes out covered under thermal blanket and towels so you don’t have to suffer the whole hour IF you can’t handle an hour straight I go 20min in 10min out, I cut 10lbs just doing that it sucks but no weight cut is ever easy, this is the easiest way rather than old sku methods
Ok thanks!
Just wondering, what is the pain like ? It just burns ?
@@moneyyfeenz9749nah it doesn’t burn when you get used to it. It’s kinda hard to explain but it drains you and make you tired. I stay in a hot tub for an hour 3 times a day to cut weight it’s not safe😂😂😂
@@moneyyfeenz9749in my experience it’s a really elevated heart rate, feeling of passing out that gets you. Not so much the heat, but that’s just my experience
I did something similar to this a few months back. Worked like a charm, and wasn’t nearly as miserable as sitting the whole hour looked.
Appreciate the effort you put into testing this. I know we were all wondering about it after Chael's video.
Why not try it, I was fully hydrated so no risk, but it was tough.
How big were the epsom salt bags? Also, should i get 70% rubbing alcohol or 50%?
Also what chael did starting from a week out of a fight is drink a lot of water. Eventually working his way up to 2-3 gallons in a day a day before he started cutting weight because of the excess water his body was already trying to sweat it out before even trying to cut weight. So If you did that you’d probably get even more out of it.
I may try that
Added food for thought:
I just did 45 minutes with only epsom salt. No albolene or alcohol. Also i had a big lunch right before the bath so my belly probably has a ton of carbs holding onto water. Only lost 2.2 lbs (154lb to 151.8lb).
Did this for testing purposes only. Didnt cut carbs or sodium for this, just did it randomly on a normal day.
Will add the albolene and rubbing alcohol for this weekends competition.
Update:
Did it again but added more salt and albolene, didn't have rubbing alcohol. Empty stomach, after a 3 day water load, reduced sodium and reduced fiber, but still high carb diet week of. Lost 2.4 pounds in 25 minutes. 152 to 149.6. On weight for today's same day weigh in :) and I get to have a pancake lol
Not as drastic as everyone else but I'm maintaining high glycogen levels so idk.
They open the pores
Glad it worked for you
Just did this to cut the last 6lbs I needed for weigh in the next day no joke ts is absolute TORTURE. It is 100% not for the week but I will say tho it’s a real test of your mental toughness just get thru it Ik u can! Ps. Don’t be stupid about it tho u can easily have a seizure from dehydrating your body
It works but it's rough
Have a fight tomorrow have a few pounds to shed to make 165. Debating if I wanna sit in the sauna for 30-40 mins or give this a shot hmmm
Hope it went well
I lost 5lbs !
Nice
i lose 5-8 pounds in a two hour bjj session.
Im going to a wedding today and noticed that i gained weight and that my suit didnt fit, i did this and lost 6,6 pounds
Nice
Hi I have a quick question! I have weigh ins tomororw and I still have 4 pounds to loose. Do you do this bath an hour before weigh in or the night before? Thank you!
Do not do it the day of the weigh in you will be crap after. It really depends on how long the fight is after you weigh in. You will be dehydrated and cramp if you don't have time to rehydrate.
You took one for the team. I'm sure when we watched that uncle Chael video we all wanted to try.
Yea I did cramp up in training the next day so still got to figure that out.
Wow, man. Props for being brave enough to try this out. It’s crazy what fighters put themselves through just to make weight.
It was an experience 😂
Are you running the water while you’re in or is it off?
It's off
What’s the “abalean” for?
Did you keep topping up with hot water? That’s what I do when I need to cut water. Keeps the water real hot.
It opens up the pores. My tub jets reheat the water.
Something often ignored is your start weight and hydration. If you’re starting from 130lbs and you’re dehydrated you’re going to be able to cut SIGNIFICANTLY less than someone 200lb who’s hydrated. Just think of % of body weight there is you need to lose
Thanks
He is probably getting high off the alcohol fumes
Did you water load? If you drink water in these increments by day you will definitely lose more then 10 pounds. 2gallons,2gallons,1.5,1, no water day of cut
Yes that's also a way to lose
Wow
Surely that cant be healthy ?
mad respect for going through all that pain for us to see
Thanks it sucked but I got it done
Do I have to buy the exact Epsom salt or is a different brand good?
Any brand
Ahaha man, I've been wondering the same for the entire week! Thanks for trying it!!
No problem suffering for fun😂
Does the alcohol have to be green?
Chael said it had to be green in his video, allthough he himself also didnt know why.
Ya I think it's for the glycerin which helps the skin I think
Yes
Great video informative and too the point.
Glad it was helpful!
Need advice, I don’t have access to a bathtub (just have a shower) or a sauna near me. Need to lose six more pounds in a day, what can I do? Is there anything I can do for an alternative for my shower or should I purchase a hotel room just for the tub?
I would only cut like this as a last resort. I did cramp up when rolling the next day.
@@SticksandStonesBJJ I’ve cut throughout the week and genuinely can’t lose the six pounds. I’m unsure what else I can do because I’ve cut out salt, sugars, cards and done a water load. I’ve already lost ten pounds in a span of a week, and seemingly can’t lose those last few pounds.
Errr borrow a friends bathtub
What temperature was the water?
As hot as you can stand
Omg! A must try! 👀👀👀
Please do!
Interesting. How fast have you got this weight back?
I ate and drank the rest of the day like I normally do and was 210 in the morning
How long would it take to cut the same amount by sitting in a sauna ?
Not sure will have to try it!
Thanks for going through it dude for proof glad you feeling better the whole process seemed to have hurt a lot. You thinking of doing any more videos of things people said they tried to cut weight? Sounds like it could bang as a series
If I find something interesting I may try it.
Link for abalean?

Good experiment and pretty good video 👍
Thanks glad you enjoyed
I think chael said 2 bags of Epson salt
He absolutely said 2 bags
Edit: he might have to add more because it's a bigger tub tho?
he said 4
Pretty sure it was 4
Try the sauna instead bud the bath kills your legs I don’t know how chael would fight after the bath it always kills my legs and I get wayyyy to sucked out from it I like the sauna a lot more . The bath has to be at 104 degrees . Chael would suck a stupid amount of weight to fight at middleweight I promise he’s not lying . 8lbs in a hour isn’t even a lot for your first bath to be honest the more sucked out you get the harder it is, think of it like a sponge that’s soaking and each time you get in the bath you squeeze some water outta the sponge you are doing that to your body until the sponge is pretty much dry. The more muscle mass you have the more weight you can cut because the tissue dehydrate and rehydrate so much easier than fat tissue
I did cramp in training the next day and I never cramp
The stroke at the end of the 45 minutes, oh noes. Great info if you really need the weight cut.
It kinda sucked at that point
Bro… thank you 🙌🏾
No problem glad you enjoyed
i don't don't need to see the video. if someone does something and can prove it, it doesn't matter if you think it works or not. it was already done therefore that's proof enough.
Ok don't watch
I mean Chael is kind of bullshitter sometimes lol
Your a savage brotha I’m going to the store to get this shit right now I gotta pass a drug test in a month so I’m trying to burn as much fat as possible
This is just a water cut, you won't burn fat doing it. Not sure if it will help with a drug test?
