    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.

    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!

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.

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.

    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 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?

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.

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.

    Hey! I’m usually in the 67.5kgs/148.5lbs weight class and was sitting around 70.5kgs/155lbs and did this exact protocol and weighed in at 66.6kgs/146.5lbs for my 24 hour weigh ins, which is rounded up at 5% of my original starting weight.
    I only did a 45 minute session in the sauna on sweat day, I had already woken up at 68.5kgs/150.7lbs on sweat day but you can definitely drop more than 5% if you spend more time sweating, I just didn’t see a benefit of dropping more because I was already within my weight class after that session and able to sip on like half a cup of water.

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.

    Just finished doing this, started on Tuesday weighing in at 97.4kgs (from Australia we weigh in kilos not pounds) and finishing this morning on Sunday weighing in at 90.1kgs. From my experience I thought the water load was the hard part as I’m the type that doesn’t drink a lot of water very often but soon found out on the 5th day consuming no water and fasting for the whole day was a straight mental game especially when being in the sauna that day. Felt very depleted all I was thinking about was weighing in the next morning and finally getting to that re-feed stage.

    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?

    • @AlexanderBromley
      @AlexanderBromley  3 роки тому +5

      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.

    • @RealizeBJJLife
      @RealizeBJJLife 3 роки тому

      @@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.

    Spitting skittles is a great auxillary method. It pulls off a few extra pounds, and just as importantly keeps your mouth wet so that you don't have that dry mouth tempting you to drink water. I would have also given at least a cursory mention to Lasix, Metolazone, and IV rehydration. The former two are accessible to anyone with google, and while not everyone has access to the latter, it is far far superior to trying to drink the weight back.

    Doing “The Biggest Loser” challenge at work. Weight ins are on Friday 11/1. I’ve lost 36 pounds so far. We’ve had three months of time to lose weight. Gonna try this the finally week just to make sure I get the last push in to win. Be back with the results.

    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).
