Cutting Weight

Don't mean to criticise, but that was a dodge move by your coach, putting you in a sauna the morning of the fight.

The first fluids a sauna removes from the body are those in the cranium.
Thats why a sauna always helps in "clearing your head." They're easily replaced, but maybe not on the day of a fight.

Do you have any references for this donny? I've been looking up information and don't see a lot regarding 'loss of cranium fluid' related to sauna use. Also though, are you referring to sinus mucous and such when referencing the clearing of the head feeling? I have found some medical notes in regards to intercranial CFS reduction, but not so much as to make it alarming unless one might be practicing weight loss long term.

Here`s an interesting link below related, although not referencing intercranial CFS loss per se, to many facets in regards to sports and hydration and dehydration.

There is alot of info. in there. It is particularly good I found in exploring how it pertains to distance running hydration.
