Let’s start at the beginning…

So you’ve probably seen pictures of fighters like Conor McGregor, Flyod Mayweather or Gennady Golovkin stepping onto the scales before their fights looking extremely lean and ripped. These are professional athletes so they’re always in shape but come weigh in day, they show up far lighter and more shredded than ever. In short, when you see these fighters step onto the scales, they’ve just undergone a dramatic weight loss process that sees them lose a huge proportion of their body weight in lightening fast time. This book is going to reveal the secret strategies these fighters use to shred weight fast – and it will show you how you can use some of these tatics to excellerate your own weight loss. These 50 pointers were first published as a book exclusively for fighters. It sold hugely well and brought hundreds of fighters in on weight at competition time. Now the full book and the secret strategies it contains are yours in full.

So lets start at the start. Why do they do it? Well, in the modern era of combat sports like boxing, wrestling and MMA, cutting weight is done so that fighters can make the lowest weight category possible. Being the small guy in a division stacks the odds against a fighter. So they get their weight as low as they can, which in turn gives them the best chance of winning.

Fighters have no way of getting away from it. If they walk into the ring, cage or onto the mat at the same weight they’ve been walking around at against an opponent who has successfully cut weight, they are putting themselves at a massive disadvantage. Some fighters are known to cut as much as 10 kilo (22 pounds) in a week or two.

A fighter who hands an opponent a 10 kilo advantage over them in any fight sport is being unwise. They will need to be significantly faster, stronger, or more skilled to just level the playing field and neturalise this disadvantage.

It is such a key aspect of fight sports that the majority of the fighters in MMA, boxing, Muay Thai or wrestling will have cut weight in some form. The word is out and the days of fighting at the weight they walk around at are gone. Unless a fighter is fabulously gifted, they’re going to have to learn how to cut weight in order to be competitive.

However, cutting weight is a highly complex process that requires the correct know-how. A successful weight cut involves first choosing the correct weight to aim for based on a fighter’s ‘walk-around’ weight. Next, they have to implement the correct weight-cut strategy that sees them hit their target on weigh-in day. Finally, they will have to balance this cut in a way that prevents them from going too far and turning up to their fight drained and suffering a loss of performance. Adopting the wrong weight cut strategy can be catastrophic – so fighters need to know what they’re doing. If they don’t, loss of performance may be just the start. For one, if they incorrectly manage their weight they might not make their weight target at weigh-in – and wind up having their fight cancelled. But the downsides of a poorly managed weight-cut don’t stop there.

If they cut too much or adopt the wrong strategy, theycould find themselves suffering severe loss of performance during their fight. Fighters who have miscalculated their weight cut report feeling severly fatigued and even dazed during fights. As you would expect, fighters in this condition are also more succeptible to being knocked out. Others wind up so drained they can barely make it through their first round. The choice then becomes one of whether to stay in the fight and be a punching bag for the other guy, or quit – which is never good.

But it gets worse than just leaving fighters weak and unable to fight to their full potential. Cutting weight incorrectly can put an enourmous strain on the body. It can be
