Dude awesome video! I did a 30lb weight cut!i went from 185 to 155 and followed this exactly. Mentally is was very tough but if I can do it anyone can. That feast after weigh is something I will remember forever!
Hey man how did you feel afterwards? I have to compete and weighins are hours before competition on same day. Do you feel depleted completely on last day? Btw im 181 need to hit 151. Thanks in advance
Did this once before with a strongman competitor and we used the sauna suits and heater in the car turned up on the drive to FL from GA... it was so gross, but the water we dropped as we peeled off the suits was about 8-12 lbs each.
I used this method for my strongman comp to get to a lower weight class (80kg for NAS instead of 181 for USS) and not only was this the easiest cut I’ve ever done, but holy hell I don’t even understand how it worked so well. I lost 9lbs overnight after the 3 gallon day on Wednesday. I don’t even understand how I pissed and sweated that out. Which left me with half of the sauna cut I was expecting… 10/10 recommend. Thank you Bromley!
I'm an amateur boxer. I cut weight with the same way you explained with the sauna suit for losing 7lbs. It's easy it works well. watching a professional telling that make me more confident. Thanks
This brings back memories from cutting weight when I was a kid. Sitting in the sauna with a gameboy but hours, I used to really enjoy it. We used to take a mild natural laxative as well but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
I've found that in smaller tubs where it's hard to fully submerge, it can be helpful to get a towel to cover and keeping the heat trapped in really helps!
Thank you for this GREAT video! This will be my 3rd time cutting weight for an MMA fight. Question... WHY DID YOU NOT LOSE WATER WEIGHT IN THE STEAM ROOM? Does the extra water vapor in the steam room cause more evaporative cooling on the skin so you actually sweat less than in a dry steam room? Trying to think beyond "Bro Science" methods commonly accepted just because they're done often. Like, why the hell is albolene makeup remover used so frequently in the boxing world of weight cutting?
There were two things I did that 'seemed' to set me back; one was taking cold showers in between rounds of sweating to cool off, the other was sitting in the steam room. I took a wild guess that the skin can absorb some water when you are exceptionally dehydrated and the pores are open from sweating; admittedly, I have absolutely no idea if that's true. At this point, I'm mainly avoiding it out of superstition. Albolene comes down to the petrolatum. I have no idea why they don't just use regular petroleum jelly. It's 2 bucks for a jar as opposed to 25+ for makeup products or Sweet Sweat. That's one trick that I took from MMA message boards that works well, but the 'wintergreen alcohol/epsom salt' cocktail for the hot baths was bunk.
@@AlexanderBromley If we look at it logically, if we can absorb water, then how would hot baths still be so effective? I did some research and learned that the skin can absorb water just in the superficial top layer of cells, not into the bloodstream (aka into sweat glands), so that wouldn't cause much of a difference in terms of unwanted rehydration. I have heard repeatedly, even from my coach, to avoid steam rooms, but can't figure out why. Yeah, sweet sweat is basically glorified/rebranded Vaseline LOL.. but it smells SO MUCH BETTER.. so I'm treating myself this round LOL Going with the GUCCI p.jelly. It helps traps heat to increase body temp, so that makes sense. The thermal imaging on the package gives a great visual. It would just need to be wiped off or melted for a sweat portion.. because how would sweat from a gland be able to push water out with a layer of p.jelly clogging it? Hahaha... that's it. I'm just going to do a dehydration dance and pray to the dehydration gods.
Hell yeah. I’m going to try this starting tmrw. I have to weigh in a month from now late April. I’m going to try this now and if it works have piece of mind for the next month and focus on just training for my fight. I will keep updates on this post.
Done this for a powerlifting comp with a 24hr weigh in and went from 97.6kg to 89.0kg at weigh in I didn’t go aggressive just about 3x 20 min stints in sauna day before and a walk the day of weigh in at the beach. Weigh in was delayed 7hrs so stayed fasted (water and food) for nearly 42hrs total haha I ended up winning my weight class with a 682.5kg total I underperformed as expected but was happy overall and loved the experience Gonna apply it again next week but for a strongman comp with only a 2hr weigh in. Plus I’m 100kg now so it’s gonna be a bit harder this time but I Love a challenge. Great video this, highly recommend cut tho I was a idiot and tried to prioritising water and fluid but after I drank the first litre I just started eating everything and didn’t drink as much as I should have. Ended up weighing 94kg on comp day which was ok
I guess I shouldn't be too nervous about cutting only 4 pounds then lol. I'm at 127.6 and need to be at 123 for comp in 8 days. I feel much more confident I can achieve this successfully now. thanks!
You can’t lose this type of weight for a 2hr weigh in. The most I’ve been able to get off for a 2hr weigh in was roughly 6% of my bodyweight (about 5kg to compete @83 in USAPL).
I have used this method 3x. I'll be doing it again for my upcoming competition. I lost about 7lbs in that 5 days. The 1st time I tried this I missed a day of the 2 gal water intake. I do still eat when its time to cut out carbs/salt. I eat egg whites, fish, shrimp and almonds for that 4th day. Coz I can't fast. I do drink water but down to 1-2 bottle water that 4th day. My weigh ins are not till after 1pm. So I try to sleep in, drink black coffee so I can poop. Lol. But no water and food until weigh ins. I hope this helps. Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information!
Awesome video! We're doing a weight loss competition at work. Final weigh ins are next week. I'm already down 25#+, but I'm hoping to cut another 15 or so and take home the $600 prize. Thanks for the video! Liked and subbed. Dont want to share it and give my competition any ideas though lol
Do you have a video or recommend any videos that explain gaining & then cutting when you are starting out? I’m very interested to learn but have yet to find any videos to explain this properly. Thank you.
No need. If you actually drink that much daily, then you walk around artificially heavy and 'water loaded' already. Still aim for the 2 gallon mark and follow the rest of the dietary instructions and you will be amazed at how fast the weight comes off.
@@AlexanderBromley Appreciate it man. I've cut using the "taper down" method before and always made weight (but always very close/stressful), so I'm gonna give your reverse taper method a try in a couple weeks and see how it goes.
I ended doing the weight cut from 154 to 147 but it turns out this powerlifting meet didn’t have individual medals for weight classes only for overall lifts....rip
@Alexander Bromley have a weigh in for the military coming up. I'm not worried about making weight due to waist and neck measurements show I'm not fat. I am curious though as to how it affects body measurement's the day of weigh in. Thanks for any insight.
I felt thin and light. My clothes were looser. I was hungry and thirsty (not at an urgent level). You will probably feel encouraged in the beginning to see the weight drop but then hate it near the end. It feels great to lose weight but it takes time out of your day to do this. If you’re reading this during COVID-19 quarantines here’s your chance to lose that water weight you’ve been asking for. Good luck guys and THANK you to the guy who made the video.
Alrighty 4 I gained about 70% of the weight back. Remember, you mainly lose water weight. But, if you reduce your carbs it’ll help keep the weight off longer and eventually you’ll be losing fat and water at the same time.
I followed this gentleman's advice and went from 263 this morning to 248 at this moment. For my sweat day I did the sweat suit/walk for 45 mins to a hour in 100 degree Las Vegas weather (feel like 125 in the sweat suit) 3 times and drove back home in the sweat suit with my car windows rolled up which takes about 10 mins all three times. I could have done the walk 6 times instead of three but I wanted to live to tell my story. 🙂 In conclusion I lost 13 lbs in one day. I'm 6'4 if that matters to anyone. Please do this at your level of endurance because it's hell on earth.
Yo guys could anyone please help me! Im on day 4 (thursday) weight in tomorrow! But after my waterload i dont really need to pee today? Its 12 in the morning and have only peed once? Shouldnt my body pee like crazy at this time?
Honestly thought this was a load of sh** Did a 6 week weight loss challenge, ate average for 5 weeks, week 6 followed this and ended up winning the challenge hahaha This guy is the man!! 104.8kgs to 96.7kgs in 5 days 💪🏽
I would love it if you made one for a 2 hour weigh ins or if you can show me the link for it. I realize its just a different math and less extreme but still entertaining to watch. God bless
This video is the Best weight cut video ever put on youtube. So many other channels obviously don’t know what they are talking about. I’m fighting Saturday and my weigh ins are tomorrow morning and I’m at weight. Easiest and best weight cut I’ve ever done. I went from 198 to 176 in 5 days. And it all fell off on the 4th day. Usually I’m dying when I cut weight. This time I could even drink bits of water through the day. I followed you to tee. Thanks so much for your help. And anyone looking to do a water cut THIS IS THE MAN TO FOLLOW!
@@69pussylover25 just drink 2 gallons of water the first two days and then 3 gallons the next 2 days. Cut 100% of carbs and sugar the 4th day. 5th day fast all day and sweat out the rest of the water. Weigh in on the 6th day then hydrate (eat as much carbs and sugar as u can after for tour body to hydrate properly)
Best weight cut video I’ve seen to date. And I’ve watched a lot! My kid does combat sports and he has same day weight ins. There are tournaments where he needs to make weight for up to 5 days straight. However, his average cut is around 5lbs so it’s doable. Good info, bro.
This helped me from 132lbs to 120lbs, and I will tell you, this was the worst feeling I have ever experienced. I always do the walking/light activity method and it losses me 2-3 pounds every time. The hardest for me is the hot bath, I get dizzy when I get out of tub and it weakens me even more when I cover my self up for more sweat. And for the sauna, I don't have access to it so I just lock up my self in a car and sweat inside with a sauna suit. Every time I do each of these methods over and over, I have to rest for an hour or so to start sweating again, and I f'kin hate the feeling. Will I do it again? Yes, cuz im determined.
Thanks for this video. Was able to get from 175 lbs to 164.0 lbs from Sunday to Friday. Glad to know this worked and it was a good “experiment” as I’d never done a water cut before.
Big thank you to this man! I got recommended to do a water cut I was 63.4 KG on Sunday, had weigh in the following Friday. Listened to everything he said and hit the scales 57.7 kg , gone back up to 61kg the same day 👊🏻👊🏻
When i was married. i was up to 326 lbs. I wanted to lose weight. So i started fasting, and drinking lots of water ( i was only eating a tuna lunchable, and fruit.) and some days not eating at all. I bought a sauna suit and started walking a few miles a day.. after a few weeks, i crashed. i had zero energy.. i had to revamp my fast.. So i started eating full meals once or twice a week.. but still eating very light, and not at all on the other days.. I lost over 150 lbs in 4 months.. I have since gotten off my diet. and a year later i gained 40 lbs back.. Today, im trying to start back.. and trying to discover what i did wrong, and how i can do this faster... Any advice would be appreciated. This video is very educational. but seems to be short term.. how can i do this, and maintain?
You're absolutely right. This is NOT for sustainable fat loss! It is 100% for weight class athletes the WEEK OF their meet, more specifically those who have a 24 hour weigh in so they can gain the weight right back. Doing this for more than a day will result in health consequences. For you, first understand that sweating by itself doesn't do a damn thing to lose body fat. You lose fat through physical exertion. Throw away the sauna suit, the walks by itself are what gets the job done. Also, prolonged fasting is not recommended for long term fat loss because, as you found out the hard way, it isn't sustainable. I've gone through similar fat loss phases where I've gone manic and practiced very extreme methods for short periods of time; it almost always ends up in a rebound back the other way. You have to have a plan that fits with your life and obligations. Step 1: find some type of regular physical activity you love doing. Not just exercise (though it can be). You have to genuinely enjoy and look forward to it. I love lifting, which is why I do it weekly without fail. Basketball, soccer, rock climbing, hiking, swimming, cycling, pilates, zumba, crossfit.... it doesn't matter. Just find it and do it. Step 2: Stay away from shit you know you aren't supposed to eat. No soda or sugary foods, nothing fried or soaked in butter or oil, avoid bread, tortillas, and pasta like they are the plague. Most of your meals should be made up of some mix of egg whites, lean meat, white rice, sweet potatoes, and veggies. Step 3: make your diet bulletproof by starting to pay attention to portions and calories. If you can abide by the list of foods I gave you, that's 90% of it. Having an understanding of macronutrients and keeping track of your numbers each day is what makes dieting foolproof. It takes longer to get a hold on, which is why I put it last, but start working on it asap! If you follow these steps, your physique will improve, your energy and focus will improve, and you will have a healthy sustainable lifestyle with out the rollercoaster gaining and losing of weight.
@@creatingpeacenlove surprisingly, no loose skin.. lot of stretch marks though. when you let yourself get that big. its hard as hell to get it off.. i had to get pissed off and force myself to walk, never allowed myself to set down, unless i walked a few miles.
@@jeff262630 You are such an inspiration. Stretch marks can fade away but lose is a pain which you don't have that's great. May be dry fasting can help with stretch marks Welldone
@@AlexanderBromley hey im in highschool doing cuts for wrestling(with family extremely against it) and yes its very hard to maintain but to me it was only if my sport is taken completely because i do wrestling in the winter softball in the summer and because of covid its been cancelled but i started doing bike rides not just around the block but i would go for about two hours or so which was about 10 - 12 miles a day then i got completely grounded cause i got lost for three hours alone cause my chain popped off and i took a new route than i normally do so if i want to keep it up what do i do in my home cause not only do i need to be 120 from 155-157 i also need strength and flexibility
I lost 15 pounds doing this but I only done the last 3days because that's when I found this video and won my weight loss competition because of it. I was 3rd place for 9 weeks then done this on my last few days. So happy you shared this. Thankyou :)

Alexander Bromley Hi, just wanted to know is it okay if I actually drink a bit over than 1 gallon of water on the first day? Or does it have to be precise and exactly what you have down on the board? Thanks!
Doing this process to pass my last weigh in before shipping for bmt, and this works so good. Way better than the method I used last time where you taper your water down throughout the week. I started at 150-151 and currently at 145.2 (145 is what I need to weigh in at) still have about 5 hrs before my weigh In so going to take another hot bath. The hot baths are actually my favorite now bc it felt effortless. I hate sitting in saunas. But I don’t feel dead. I still don’t really feel dehydrated either. This process felt effortless. UPDATE: I ended at 144 and passed my weigh in. this method works amazing and was definitely an easy cut!! thanks bromley!
I started this at 185 a week out from weigh ins and was pretty scared. Ive done weight cuts before but they were all 5-7lbs but with the information in the video helped me get down from 185-171 in a week. Takes lots of discipline and will. I was 2lbs above weight after my sauna session so i hopped on a gym bike for 45 minutes and lost the rest. Thank you so much!
@@britt_M04 a shit ton of will and determination. One week out toss on the extra layers and go cycling for 45 minutes each day, do your normal workout and cut the sugars, sodium and carbs. 7 to 4 days out 2 gallons of water each day. On 3 days out 1.5 gallons, 2 days out keep the intake relatively low and cut water 24 hours out. Hit the sauna big time the day before and day of if needed. I did 4 25 minute sessions. SIP conservatively so you don't pass out. Would not recommend unless you're competing on the national/international level and desperately need to lose the weight
@@javieralmeyda3358 Yeah man I did this to get under 185 and it definitely got me down there real quick man but as he says even us fighters should be careful of doing running or cycling to get the last sweat off unless you REALLY need to. It's gonna gas you out real quick if you have a 5 min x3 round fight
Gonna give this a go to make weight for Marine Corps boot camp! I sit between 203-205 but I weighed in at 208 yesterday after some high sodium foods the day before and need to dip under 201 to ship out on Monday. It might feel rough but I'll do whatever it takes to get out there!!
Amazing advise on water cutting! I followed this video/ebook for my first time ever water cutting, woke up on my sauna day weighing 202, hit the sauna for 2 hours of sweating and woke up the next morning of weigh in at 193. Thank you so much!
I do this often and it’s torture mentally. My quick way is water loading for 2-3 days only eating 1 tuna pouch with 2 crumbled crackers on the first day. After I’m done peeing all water I take one bottle of magnesium citrate to pull all water from me I go to sauna the following day for 10-15 at a time to sweat out the rest until I’m at least at my desired weight or a 1/4 of a pound over before weigh in the next day and just sleep with a sweater to drop the rest. For comfort I’ll chew up an ice cube and spit out or gargle ice cold water. It’s tough but gets me to the goal.
Great video! This protocol is nearly identical to that used by elite fighters. Although a lot of MMA fighters and boxers will wear a sauna suit and run, this is actually ill advised. Regardless of your conditioning and cardiovascular capacity, the passive methods of sweating, like the hot bath, are ideal to avoid cramping and being able to perform at the highest level. More fighters would do well to follow this advice.
People put Vaseline on stomach and wrap it to trap heat in and keep it like that for at least 10 hours and they lose alot of weight and tighten skin. I am trying it for the entire part of my body for week.
Big thanks Alex! I did this a month ago and went from 228 on Sunday night to 207 weight-in that friday afternoon. Very happy but I think I messed up the re-feed because I only got my energy back after the comp was done. I ate lots of carbs and drank two litres of coconut water but now that I'm watching again I see there was probably a lack of salt (although I made a stop to A&W). This time I'm going to add stuff to what I'd normally eat and see the difference. Was 222 last night, 210 this morning, still another 12 to go! Does anyone else get bad nausea or headaches? I recently learned that excess THC stored in your fat can lead to uncontrollable nausea "Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome" and I'm currently weaning myself off it for health, social, and financial reasons but still wonder if that's affecting me since I experienced this during my last cut as well. Thoughts?
i wanna loose atleast 24 lbs before may 31. i have 52 days. i wish to loose 24-40 lbs, i know i probably cant do 40 lbs, but i'm going to try my hardest! ill keep y'all updated. my goal is 30 lbs
Holy shit this helped a lot, I had to cut weight for MEPS and I went from 186 to 174 using the hot bath method along with rubbing SWEET SWEAT lotion on my whole body. I got light headed the first bath but after that the rest of the baths went well, I did a total of 7 hot baths each 15 mins in a span of 4 hours
I doubt you lost 35lbs in 5days and other's have died cutting less. Manipulating carbs, salt,water, does go a long ways, but not that far. I hope you've cut down on the click bait.
Today is Friday. I have a weigh in on Wednesday just for a friendly weight loss challenge with some friends. I’m 8 lbs away from what my target weight should be. I’m going to try this and hopefully I’ll also look shredded. I know I’ll gain it back but it’s more for a laugh and to win the prize.
@@ImPeac Yes it worked and I won. I was 197 lbs on the Friday, 201 lbs on the Tuesday, 194 lbs Wednesday morning, then by Wednesday evening I was 188lbs. All water so it all came back within a couple days. I’m trying to lose 2 lbs per week and be 185 lbs by the middle of May. I just wanted to try the water cut to see if it would work. The last day was tough. Not drinking very much and sweating it all out. I was happy after I weighed in and could drink a cold glass of water and a beer.

Done this for a powerlifting comp with a 24hr weigh in and went from 97.6kg to 89.0kg at weigh in
I didn’t go aggressive just about 3x 20 min stints in sauna day before and a walk the day of weigh in at the beach.
Weigh in was delayed 7hrs so stayed fasted (water and food) for nearly 42hrs total haha
I ended up winning my weight class with a 682.5kg total
I underperformed as expected but was happy overall and loved the experience
Gonna apply it again next week but for a strongman comp with only a 2hr weigh in. Plus I’m 100kg now so it’s gonna be a bit harder this time but I
Love a challenge.
Great video this, highly recommend cut tho I was a idiot and tried to prioritising water and fluid but after I drank the first litre I just started eating everything and didn’t drink as much as I should have. Ended up weighing 94kg on comp day which was ok

And I'm not doing 170 hell no
I ended up making 140 btw, I placed 1st!
Got 4 weeks to get from 59.7 to u57 😬 this has helped massively, thanks man!!
Easy
I guess I shouldn't be too nervous about cutting only 4 pounds then lol. I'm at 127.6 and need to be at 123 for comp in 8 days. I feel much more confident I can achieve this successfully now. thanks!
Best vid I’ve ever seen!
gonna give this a go for MEPS😬 trying to enlist as an 11b
I’m doing this for my last weigh in too! Lol did this work out for you?
Any tips for anyone with a 2hr weigh in , would you just start dropping weight slowly over the week
You can’t lose this type of weight for a 2hr weigh in. The most I’ve been able to get off for a 2hr weigh in was roughly 6% of my bodyweight (about 5kg to compete @83 in USAPL).
@ERIC HERNANDEZ Water loading and sauna.
I'm very experienced with this except for the first 3
I usually start the week off with 2 gallons and work myself down but here your working your way up..which way is more effective
I have used this method 3x. I'll be doing it again for my upcoming competition. I lost about 7lbs in that 5 days. The 1st time I tried this I missed a day of the 2 gal water intake. I do still eat when its time to cut out carbs/salt. I eat egg whites, fish, shrimp and almonds for that 4th day. Coz I can't fast. I do drink water but down to 1-2 bottle water that 4th day. My weigh ins are not till after 1pm. So I try to sleep in, drink black coffee so I can poop. Lol. But no water and food until weigh ins. I hope this helps. Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information!
Eating nuts and whatnot on the 4th day and drinking no more than 1-2 water bottles, does that help you not feel bad side effects during the weigh in?
Awesome video! We're doing a weight loss competition at work. Final weigh ins are next week. I'm already down 25#+, but I'm hoping to cut another 15 or so and take home the $600 prize. Thanks for the video! Liked and subbed. Dont want to share it and give my competition any ideas though lol
How it go
Your so smart, thank you!!
Lozin Carleton you’re *
Don’t try this to get fit. Just get in a diet
Great technique for triggering a seizure
The egg white bit made me think of 3 weeks to shredded
I need to cut about 10 pounds for my fight so I’ll use this. Thanks for the informative video.
How should I adjust this if I wanted to start in two weeks out?
Salute bro
I have my 1st kickboxing match at 135 and I’m at 155 hopefully I can make it it’s the 28
Do you have a video or recommend any videos that explain gaining & then cutting when you are starting out? I’m very interested to learn but have yet to find any videos to explain this properly. Thank you.
Hire a professional trainer.
What if we already routinely take in 1-1.5+ gallons a day? Just double the protocol for the load?
No need. If you actually drink that much daily, then you walk around artificially heavy and 'water loaded' already. Still aim for the 2 gallon mark and follow the rest of the dietary instructions and you will be amazed at how fast the weight comes off.
@@AlexanderBromley Appreciate it man. I've cut using the "taper down" method before and always made weight (but always very close/stressful), so I'm gonna give your reverse taper method a try in a couple weeks and see how it goes.
Hey sir anyone still here in 2024?
i love drinking coffee, do you count the water only? or do coffee also be included with intake?
35 pounds (15kgs in Australia) in 5 days? Damn that sounds almost unbelievable lol but willing to try this ☝🏽
ill try this bro thank you for this video
i love you bro i need this thank you
"I know a lot of you powerlifters haven't ran since Vietnam" 🤣
Should we follow the water intake amount from the book or this video?
so i can lose 70 in 10 days?
Hell No
Do you recommend this for ameture boxers? Im 80 and need to be 73 in exactly 12 days. We do same day weigh ins in the ametures
I ended doing the weight cut from 154 to 147 but it turns out this powerlifting meet didn’t have individual medals for weight classes only for overall lifts....rip
Thats some bullshit. Why do they have weight classes then
@Alexander Bromley have a weigh in for the military coming up. I'm not worried about making weight due to waist and neck measurements show I'm not fat. I am curious though as to how it affects body measurement's the day of weigh in. Thanks for any insight.
Great information/video. Any idea how to download the free e book without the advert blocking the download please?
Is the ebook still available?
I tried this after watching your video. I went from 219 to 199 Monday - Friday.
How did you feel at 199?
I felt thin and light. My clothes were looser. I was hungry and thirsty (not at an urgent level). You will probably feel encouraged in the beginning to see the weight drop but then hate it near the end. It feels great to lose weight but it takes time out of your day to do this. If you’re reading this during COVID-19 quarantines here’s your chance to lose that water weight you’ve been asking for. Good luck guys and THANK you to the guy who made the video.
elevate4eva have u gained the weight back
@@elevate4eva Were you full of carbs @ 219? What weight did you start cutting with sauna/hot bath?
Alrighty 4 I gained about 70% of the weight back. Remember, you mainly lose water weight. But, if you reduce your carbs it’ll help keep the weight off longer and eventually you’ll be losing fat and water at the same time.
I followed this gentleman's advice and went from 263 this morning to 248 at this moment. For my sweat day I did the sweat suit/walk for 45 mins to a hour in 100 degree Las Vegas weather (feel like 125 in the sweat suit) 3 times and drove back home in the sweat suit with my car windows rolled up which takes about 10 mins all three times. I could have done the walk 6 times instead of three but I wanted to live to tell my story. 🙂 In conclusion I lost 13 lbs in one day. I'm 6'4 if that matters to anyone. Please do this at your level of endurance because it's hell on earth.
Congrats man keep it up!
Very cool 😎
Yo guys could anyone please help me! Im on day 4 (thursday) weight in tomorrow! But after my waterload i dont really need to pee today? Its 12 in the morning and have only peed once? Shouldnt my body pee like crazy at this time?

This video is the Best weight cut video ever put on youtube. So many other channels obviously don’t know what they are talking about. I’m fighting Saturday and my weigh ins are tomorrow morning and I’m at weight. Easiest and best weight cut I’ve ever done. I went from 198 to 176 in 5 days. And it all fell off on the 4th day. Usually I’m dying when I cut weight. This time I could even drink bits of water through the day. I followed you to tee. Thanks so much for your help. And anyone looking to do a water cut THIS IS THE MAN TO FOLLOW!
can you cut short the explanation and show me the routines I have to do throughout the week
@@69pussylover25 just drink 2 gallons of water the first two days and then 3 gallons the next 2 days. Cut 100% of carbs and sugar the 4th day. 5th day fast all day and sweat out the rest of the water. Weigh in on the 6th day then hydrate (eat as much carbs and sugar as u can after for tour body to hydrate properly)
@@Fightstuff 2 gallons? he said only one, does it matter if we drink more?
@@alanross9573 there is a link in the video giving you a revised version of what he says in the video
Best weight cut video I’ve seen to date. And I’ve watched a lot! My kid does combat sports and he has same day weight ins. There are tournaments where he needs to make weight for up to 5 days straight. However, his average cut is around 5lbs so it’s doable. Good info, bro.
Me watching this while looking at my stretch marks 😩😢😭
This helped me from 132lbs to 120lbs, and I will tell you, this was the worst feeling I have ever experienced. I always do the walking/light activity method and it losses me 2-3 pounds every time. The hardest for me is the hot bath, I get dizzy when I get out of tub and it weakens me even more when I cover my self up for more sweat. And for the sauna, I don't have access to it so I just lock up my self in a car and sweat inside with a sauna suit. Every time I do each of these methods over and over, I have to rest for an hour or so to start sweating again, and I f'kin hate the feeling. Will I do it again? Yes, cuz im determined.
Am I supposed to workout the first few days while water loading? Or do I wait until the last day to sweat it all out?
Thanks for this video. Was able to get from 175 lbs to 164.0 lbs from Sunday to Friday. Glad to know this worked and it was a good “experiment” as I’d never done a water cut before.
Girl I’m trying to lose weight now
did you work out during the first couple of days?
I did, but since it was the week of comp, the workouts were pretty light and I had no troubles completing them@@Ladybug35467
Big thank you to this man! I got recommended to do a water cut I was 63.4 KG on Sunday, had weigh in the following Friday. Listened to everything he said and hit the scales 57.7 kg , gone back up to 61kg the same day 👊🏻👊🏻
I’m currently 67kg and need to make 63 by Friday do you suggest training to lose weight on the days before the last day
This has given me hope!! I’m 59.7 and need to be u57 😅
When i was married. i was up to 326 lbs. I wanted to lose weight. So i started fasting, and drinking lots of water ( i was only eating a tuna lunchable, and fruit.) and some days not eating at all. I bought a sauna suit and started walking a few miles a day.. after a few weeks, i crashed. i had zero energy.. i had to revamp my fast.. So i started eating full meals once or twice a week.. but still eating very light, and not at all on the other days.. I lost over 150 lbs in 4 months.. I have since gotten off my diet. and a year later i gained 40 lbs back.. Today, im trying to start back.. and trying to discover what i did wrong, and how i can do this faster... Any advice would be appreciated. This video is very educational. but seems to be short term.. how can i do this, and maintain?
You're absolutely right. This is NOT for sustainable fat loss! It is 100% for weight class athletes the WEEK OF their meet, more specifically those who have a 24 hour weigh in so they can gain the weight right back. Doing this for more than a day will result in health consequences. For you, first understand that sweating by itself doesn't do a damn thing to lose body fat. You lose fat through physical exertion. Throw away the sauna suit, the walks by itself are what gets the job done. Also, prolonged fasting is not recommended for long term fat loss because, as you found out the hard way, it isn't sustainable. I've gone through similar fat loss phases where I've gone manic and practiced very extreme methods for short periods of time; it almost always ends up in a rebound back the other way. You have to have a plan that fits with your life and obligations. Step 1: find some type of regular physical activity you love doing. Not just exercise (though it can be). You have to genuinely enjoy and look forward to it. I love lifting, which is why I do it weekly without fail. Basketball, soccer, rock climbing, hiking, swimming, cycling, pilates, zumba, crossfit.... it doesn't matter. Just find it and do it. Step 2: Stay away from shit you know you aren't supposed to eat. No soda or sugary foods, nothing fried or soaked in butter or oil, avoid bread, tortillas, and pasta like they are the plague. Most of your meals should be made up of some mix of egg whites, lean meat, white rice, sweet potatoes, and veggies. Step 3: make your diet bulletproof by starting to pay attention to portions and calories. If you can abide by the list of foods I gave you, that's 90% of it. Having an understanding of macronutrients and keeping track of your numbers each day is what makes dieting foolproof. It takes longer to get a hold on, which is why I put it last, but start working on it asap! If you follow these steps, your physique will improve, your energy and focus will improve, and you will have a healthy sustainable lifestyle with out the rollercoaster gaining and losing of weight.
Did you get lose skin after losing 150 that fast.very impressive though.Well done
@@creatingpeacenlove surprisingly, no loose skin.. lot of stretch marks though. when you let yourself get that big. its hard as hell to get it off.. i had to get pissed off and force myself to walk, never allowed myself to set down, unless i walked a few miles.

@@AlexanderBromley hey im in highschool doing cuts for wrestling(with family extremely against it) and yes its very hard to maintain but to me it was only if my sport is taken completely because i do wrestling in the winter softball in the summer and because of covid its been cancelled but i started doing bike rides not just around the block but i would go for about two hours or so which was about 10 - 12 miles a day then i got completely grounded cause i got lost for three hours alone cause my chain popped off and i took a new route than i normally do so if i want to keep it up what do i do in my home cause not only do i need to be 120 from 155-157 i also need strength and flexibility
I lost 15 pounds doing this but I only done the last 3days because that's when I found this video and won my weight loss competition because of it. I was 3rd place for 9 weeks then done this on my last few days. So happy you shared this. Thankyou :)

Alexander Bromley Hi, just wanted to know is it okay if I actually drink a bit over than 1 gallon of water on the first day? Or does it have to be precise and exactly what you have down on the board? Thanks!
@@abnerapineru1428 it does not have to be precise. Ballpark 1.5 to 2 gallons
Great vid
In a sauna do you recommend being in a sauna suit with hoodie or just bare naked as possible?
Alexander Bromley what kind of foods do you recommend that are no salt no carbs for the day of Wednesday??
Doing this process to pass my last weigh in before shipping for bmt, and this works so good. Way better than the method I used last time where you taper your water down throughout the week. I started at 150-151 and currently at 145.2 (145 is what I need to weigh in at) still have about 5 hrs before my weigh In so going to take another hot bath. The hot baths are actually my favorite now bc it felt effortless. I hate sitting in saunas. But I don’t feel dead. I still don’t really feel dehydrated either. This process felt effortless. UPDATE: I ended at 144 and passed my weigh in. this method works amazing and was definitely an easy cut!! thanks bromley!
I started this at 185 a week out from weigh ins and was pretty scared. Ive done weight cuts before but they were all 5-7lbs but with the information in the video helped me get down from 185-171 in a week. Takes lots of discipline and will. I was 2lbs above weight after my sauna session so i hopped on a gym bike for 45 minutes and lost the rest. Thank you so much!
How did u do this ??
@@britt_M04 a shit ton of will and determination. One week out toss on the extra layers and go cycling for 45 minutes each day, do your normal workout and cut the sugars, sodium and carbs. 7 to 4 days out 2 gallons of water each day. On 3 days out 1.5 gallons, 2 days out keep the intake relatively low and cut water 24 hours out. Hit the sauna big time the day before and day of if needed. I did 4 25 minute sessions. SIP conservatively so you don't pass out. Would not recommend unless you're competing on the national/international level and desperately need to lose the weight
did your strength in the meet take a hit?

@@javieralmeyda3358 Yeah man I did this to get under 185 and it definitely got me down there real quick man but as he says even us fighters should be careful of doing running or cycling to get the last sweat off unless you REALLY need to.

Gonna give this a go to make weight for Marine Corps boot camp! I sit between 203-205 but I weighed in at 208 yesterday after some high sodium foods the day before and need to dip under 201 to ship out on Monday. It might feel rough but I'll do whatever it takes to get out there!!

@@jonathanjacoaraujo3975 202
Do u drink water after sauna ?
I do this often and it’s torture mentally. My quick way is water loading for 2-3 days only eating 1 tuna pouch with 2 crumbled crackers on the first day.
After I’m done peeing all water I take one bottle of magnesium citrate to pull all water from me I go to sauna the following day for 10-15 at a time to sweat out the rest until I’m at least at my desired weight or a 1/4 of a pound over before weigh in the next day and just sleep with a sweater to drop the rest.
For comfort I’ll chew up an ice cube and spit out or gargle ice cold water. It’s tough but gets me to the goal.
Intense asf
what's the use of magnesium citrate??
and how much weight did u reduce?
Lost 17.7Kg in 6 weeks with 3 of those in the last 24 hours. Thanks for the advice and expertise!
Great video! This protocol is nearly identical to that used by elite fighters. Although a lot of MMA fighters and boxers will wear a sauna suit and run, this is actually ill advised. Regardless of your conditioning and cardiovascular capacity, the passive methods of sweating, like the hot bath, are ideal to avoid cramping and being able to perform at the highest level. More fighters would do well to follow this advice.
You sir, are Alpha male 100%. The sign of a true human is one where transferring knowledge is taken as 2nd nature, you have this in spades.
"Haven't run since Vietnam" was the highlight of the video LOL

Big thanks Alex!
I did this a month ago and went from 228 on Sunday night to 207 weight-in that friday afternoon. Very happy but I think I messed up the re-feed because I only got my energy back after the comp was done. I ate lots of carbs and drank two litres of coconut water but now that I'm watching again I see there was probably a lack of salt (although I made a stop to A&W). This time I'm going to add stuff to what I'd normally eat and see the difference. Was 222 last night, 210 this morning, still another 12 to go!
Does anyone else get bad nausea or headaches? I recently learned that excess THC stored in your fat can lead to uncontrollable nausea "Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome" and I'm currently weaning myself off it for health, social, and financial reasons but still wonder if that's affecting me since I experienced this during my last cut as well. Thoughts?
Can I do this if I just want to lose weight? Or will my weight go back up?
i wanna loose atleast 24 lbs before may 31. i have 52 days. i wish to loose 24-40 lbs, i know i probably cant do 40 lbs, but i'm going to try my hardest! ill keep y'all updated. my goal is 30 lbs
What's the endgame though? This isn't to lose weight it's to cut for a fight
This method is only good for making a weight class. If you’re doing this for a summer body you gain about almost all the weight back within a month.
Holy shit this helped a lot, I had to cut weight for MEPS and I went from 186 to 174 using the hot bath method along with rubbing SWEET SWEAT lotion on my whole body. I got light headed the first bath but after that the rest of the baths went well, I did a total of 7 hot baths each 15 mins in a span of 4 hours

Would this type of "loading and cutting" benefit a bikini competitor
Kimberly Williams Yes! I have seen this done to the T for bodybuilders.. bikini competitons included.
I doubt you lost 35lbs in 5days and other's have died cutting less. Manipulating carbs, salt,water, does go a long ways, but not that far. I hope you've cut down on the click bait.
Today is Friday. I have a weigh in on Wednesday just for a friendly weight loss challenge with some friends. I’m 8 lbs away from what my target weight should be. I’m going to try this and hopefully I’ll also look shredded. I know I’ll gain it back but it’s more for a laugh and to win the prize.
Did it work and did some of it stay off?
@@ImPeac Yes it worked and I won. I was 197 lbs on the Friday, 201 lbs on the Tuesday, 194 lbs Wednesday morning, then by Wednesday evening I was 188lbs. All water so it all came back within a couple days. I’m trying to lose 2 lbs per week and be 185 lbs by the middle of May. I just wanted to try the water cut to see if it would work. The last day was tough. Not drinking very much and sweating it all out. I was happy after I weighed in and could drink a cold glass of water and a beer.
