Ok, so as you know me and Burningnun have a comp on the 30th of this month. Both of us are marginally over our intended weight category (I weighed myself at 75.2kg today at midday in just my boxers). Would it be advisable for me to start cutting weight now? My biggest problem is that i'm already very lean, so it's gonna be difficult to drop fat; and IPF weigh-ins are 2 hours before lifting, so I can't drop THAT much water. Burningnun thinks it's easily doable though, I'm just a little worried.

I'm thinking of dropping some carbs from my meals (sticking only to fruit for carbs and porridge in the morning, + the oats/carbs from the milk in my BSD mass gainer supplement), and perhaps reducing my caloric intake slightly for now. I might even start a food/weight journal.

Then, on the saturday before the competition hit the sauna perhaps, and then not drink anymore sometime in the evening and wait till after the weigh in in the morning (which is between 10 and 11:30, lifting at sometime after 12) to have breakfast (buy 3 sandwhiches, gatorade, protein shake, etc).

My current diet looks something like this:

Breakfast:
Porridge w/ sugar and jam.
4 whole eggs
Apple or Banana
Yoghurt

Lunch:
Chicken and Bacon Club Sandwhich

Dinner:
Whatever protein is on the menu that night + potatoes
Yoghurt
Apple or Banana

Post-Training
Mass Gainer + milk

Before bed
Mass Gainer + milk

your 200 grams over the limit lmao have a shit

LOL Ash!

yeah but i'm a chronic worrier, I've been putting on weight fast, if it continues i'll be 2000 grams over the weight limit. Also what happens if I can't force a shit on the day. Then i'm royally screwed as i'm 200 grams over.

LMAO 75.2kg at midday and you are worrying!

You have nothing to worry about, just make sure you don't put any more weight about ~1kg on... you can easily sweat out 0.5kg in 10 minutes if you have to.

No need in changing your diet for the next 2 weeks. Come back the monday before the meet and update us. As long as you don't get above 76kg you have nothing to worry about (even then we can sort it out no problem).

Cheers mate! I'll do that then. My last training session is going to be this saturday so that I have 8 nights and 7 days rest before the comp =)
