| Cutting Weight for a fight...
Triangle got me thinking about this as he was talking about his return to competing.
I have ranted several times about weighins as I think they are done too early before a fight. It seems to me that fighters should be weighed in right before the fight regardless of whether or not they were weighed the day before.
So this begs my question of how do you cut weight and why do you cut weight. It seems that you would have more strength at your natural weight and it would be less stress on your body leaving you fresher and energized.
Of course this is assuming said weight class doesnt gain 15 lbs (just throwing out a number here, have no idea how much comes back) overnight before the fight due to cutting weight.
When I'm about 10% body fat I weigh 190lbs I couldnt imagine how weak and pathetic I would be at 170lbs.
Triangle I aint picking on you or anything, you just got me to wondering about the whole deal.
