      Haha then turn it off. This does not sound like a sales pitch at all. You obviously have never been sold to or have sold to someone. Stop crying.

    i kind of find it funny that i have been doing some of things i hear you guys do for your weight cutting programs, but i have been doing mine personally for a few years shorter. people do not listen to me though, as they do not get it. also, i am poor at explaining in great detail.

    Fasting helped me alot when I was cutting weight to get back in soccer weight , doing drills and trading fasting would help because it uses your fat as a source of energy . But that's only a step

    Not that it's mentioned in the video but it's dropping stupid amounts of water weight before the weigh in, hitting the weight, just about collapsing on stage and then pumping litres of fluid back into the body and weighing about 15lbs more on fight night.
    Also before the UFC drug testing ramped up using an iv drip to replenish fluids was a great way to hide performance enhancing drugs.
