Weight cutting for fighters
Which is the safest and most effective way to cut weight?
Weight cutting is a critical strategy in combat sports, allowing athletes to meet weight class requirements while not impacting performance….. if done correctly.
Two popular methods for rapid weight/water loss are hot baths and saunas.
Hot baths can be effective due to their direct contact with water, increasing body temperature and promoting perspiration, allowing for a significant amount of water weight to be shed in a short time.
Whilst, saunas provide a dry-heat environment that encourages sweating, often leading to more prolonged sessions that can help with gradual and sustained weight loss.
While both methods can be successful, the choice often depends on personal preference and comfort, with hydration and recovery being vital considerations afterward.
Which methods have you guys used and why or would you not do it again?
