[leggy]

hello everyone i tend to weigh 66.5 67 on a normal day i fight at 66 and get myself to it easily enough but how do i keep myself at 66 constantly thanks

This is an interesting topic!

Do you think it's really best to stay at 66 if you're so close (i'm thinking kgs right?) since it's such a small amount to loose?

I mean i think it's good to be fairly close to your weight range and being 0.5 to 1 kg out is pretty much nothing right?

I just think if you're too lean for too long your body doesn't always have the reserves it needs to repair.

I think it's good to feel light and lean sometimes and well fed at other times - maybe in sync with your training intensity?

What's your opinion Leggy? Do you feel a little drained when you try to stay at 66 for more than a week?

Anyone else felt that before or am I just looking for an excuse to eat!

[leggy]

well i eat loads! so i just have to cut down on eating to be honest but its a bit worrying

leggy, if you walk around comfortably at .5 to 1 kg over your fighting weight (like 1 or 2 lbs) then you are fortunate and have little to worry about.

Unless I am misunderstanding it?

do you think it is okay to drop a kilo quite quickly before a fight ?

Is very easy in my opinion. Just getting rid of salt alone could do it. Maybe add a touch more protein in place of carbs and a bit of a run.

With all the weight adjusting i've been doing lately, 1 kilo is easy as pie. Now when you get into 2,3, 4 and 5 kilos...then things start getting intense. Seriously...most fighters walk around a lot heavier then their fighting weight. You are real close to it and lucky to be, IMO.

0.5-1kg?

Just get yourself on the toliet with something to read and don't come out for a while!...
