I tried this after watching your video. I went from 219 to 199 Monday - Friday.
How did you feel at 199?
I felt thin and light. My clothes were looser. I was hungry and thirsty (not at an urgent level). You will probably feel encouraged in the beginning to see the weight drop but then hate it near the end. It feels great to lose weight but it takes time out of your day to do this. If you’re reading this during COVID-19 quarantines here’s your chance to lose that water weight you’ve been asking for. Good luck guys and THANK you to the guy who made the video.
elevate4eva have u gained the weight back
@@elevate4eva Were you full of carbs @ 219? What weight did you start cutting with sauna/hot bath?
Alrighty 4 I gained about 70% of the weight back. Remember, you mainly lose water weight. But, if you reduce your carbs it’ll help keep the weight off longer and eventually you’ll be losing fat and water at the same time.
So I went from 226 to 200 in 5 days. Definitely the biggest cut I’ve done to date. You are right about hot baths making you question your life choices over the past few months. Thanks Alex!
Do you do the baths just on that one day? Or do u do it a few times a day when you are still drinking all the water?
@@willechols3521 I did the baths all in one day
A question. Did you get swollen while doing the water load?
Did u do any work outs those first 4 days ? I’m just asking because I’m currently water fasting nd I’m in the gym but I’m not loosing weight quick enough I need to be 25 pounds lighter in 5 days (sounds crazy) but it’s to be approved for surgery I’m stressing out and I’m scared to do this and it not work.
@@milanpetrovic6965 no not really. I hovered right around 1 or 2 lbs over what I normally weigh
Dude awesome video! I did a 30lb weight cut!i went from 185 to 155 and followed this exactly. Mentally is was very tough but if I can do it anyone can. That feast after weigh is something I will remember forever!
Hey man how did you feel afterwards? I have to compete and weighins are hours before competition on same day. Do you feel depleted completely on last day? Btw im 181 need to hit 151. Thanks in advance
@@deathiscloeser to be honest it was one of the worst feelings ever. I had a hard time walking until I got liquids and food.
Hi , I’m not a fighter.. so I’ve never did an extreme cut.. have you cut b4 this?
Did you lose belly fat tho
@@brandonquezada1542 Nah it’s all water weight once you eat carbs salts and drink water you will get all the water weight that you have lost
I followed this gentleman's advice and went from 263 this morning to 248 at this moment. For my sweat day I did the sweat suit/walk for 45 mins to a hour in 100 degree Las Vegas weather (feel like 125 in the sweat suit) 3 times and drove back home in the sweat suit with my car windows rolled up which takes about 10 mins all three times. I could have done the walk 6 times instead of three but I wanted to live to tell my story. 🙂 In conclusion I lost 13 lbs in one day. I'm 6'4 if that matters to anyone. Please do this at your level of endurance because it's hell on earth.
Congrats man keep it up!
Very cool 😎
Yo guys could anyone please help me! Im on day 4 (thursday) weight in tomorrow! But after my waterload i dont really need to pee today? Its 12 in the morning and have only peed once? Shouldnt my body pee like crazy at this time?
What food did u eat with no salt n carbs
he makes such a valid point @ 2:16...dont try to drink all your water at once it fucks up manipulation process.
so, can I drink 2.5L of water in the morning, 2.5L noon, and 2.5L at night? that's 7.5L = 2 gallon a day...or there is other way?
Finally someone that doesn’t beat around the bush and gets straight to the point. Thanks man, i really love this video. Very informational

How do I lose the weight and then keep it down
Thank you for this GREAT video! This will be my 3rd time cutting weight for an MMA fight. Question... WHY DID YOU NOT LOSE WATER WEIGHT IN THE STEAM ROOM? Does the extra water vapor in the steam room cause more evaporative cooling on the skin so you actually sweat less than in a dry steam room? Trying to think beyond "Bro Science" methods commonly accepted just because they're done often. Like, why the hell is albolene makeup remover used so frequently in the boxing world of weight cutting?
There were two things I did that 'seemed' to set me back; one was taking cold showers in between rounds of sweating to cool off, the other was sitting in the steam room. I took a wild guess that the skin can absorb some water when you are exceptionally dehydrated and the pores are open from sweating; admittedly, I have absolutely no idea if that's true. At this point, I'm mainly avoiding it out of superstition.
Albolene comes down to the petrolatum. I have no idea why they don't just use regular petroleum jelly. It's 2 bucks for a jar as opposed to 25+ for makeup products or Sweet Sweat. That's one trick that I took from MMA message boards that works well, but the 'wintergreen alcohol/epsom salt' cocktail for the hot baths was bunk.
@@AlexanderBromley If we look at it logically, if we can absorb water, then how would hot baths still be so effective? I did some research and learned that the skin can absorb water just in the superficial top layer of cells, not into the bloodstream (aka into sweat glands), so that wouldn't cause much of a difference in terms of unwanted rehydration. I have heard repeatedly, even from my coach, to avoid steam rooms, but can't figure out why. Yeah, sweet sweat is basically glorified/rebranded Vaseline LOL.. but it smells SO MUCH BETTER.. so I'm treating myself this round LOL Going with the GUCCI p.jelly. It helps traps heat to increase body temp, so that makes sense. The thermal imaging on the package gives a great visual. It would just need to be wiped off or melted for a sweat portion.. because how would sweat from a gland be able to push water out with a layer of p.jelly clogging it? Hahaha... that's it. I'm just going to do a dehydration dance and pray to the dehydration gods.
@@RealizeBJJLifedid it work? I have to cut weight for my fight
Best weight cut video I’ve seen to date. And I’ve watched a lot! My kid does combat sports and he has same day weight ins. There are tournaments where he needs to make weight for up to 5 days straight. However, his average cut is around 5lbs so it’s doable. Good info, bro.
This video is the Best weight cut video ever put on youtube. So many other channels obviously don’t know what they are talking about. I’m fighting Saturday and my weigh ins are tomorrow morning and I’m at weight. Easiest and best weight cut I’ve ever done. I went from 198 to 176 in 5 days. And it all fell off on the 4th day. Usually I’m dying when I cut weight. This time I could even drink bits of water through the day. I followed you to tee. Thanks so much for your help. And anyone looking to do a water cut THIS IS THE MAN TO FOLLOW!
can you cut short the explanation and show me the routines I have to do throughout the week
@@69pussylover25 just drink 2 gallons of water the first two days and then 3 gallons the next 2 days. Cut 100% of carbs and sugar the 4th day. 5th day fast all day and sweat out the rest of the water. Weigh in on the 6th day then hydrate (eat as much carbs and sugar as u can after for tour body to hydrate properly)

I lost 15 pounds doing this but I only done the last 3days because that's when I found this video and won my weight loss competition because of it. I was 3rd place for 9 weeks then done this on my last few days. So happy you shared this. Thankyou :)
Love this dude. He's a no-nonsense guy that spells it out easy.
Next time I'm in Cail I'm going to his gym
Doing this process to pass my last weigh in before shipping for bmt, and this works so good. Way better than the method I used last time where you taper your water down throughout the week. I started at 150-151 and currently at 145.2 (145 is what I need to weigh in at) still have about 5 hrs before my weigh In so going to take another hot bath. The hot baths are actually my favorite now bc it felt effortless. I hate sitting in saunas. But I don’t feel dead. I still don’t really feel dehydrated either. This process felt effortless. UPDATE: I ended at 144 and passed my weigh in. this method works amazing and was definitely an easy cut!! thanks bromley!
Big thank you to this man! I got recommended to do a water cut I was 63.4 KG on Sunday, had weigh in the following Friday. Listened to everything he said and hit the scales 57.7 kg , gone back up to 61kg the same day 👊🏻👊🏻
I’m currently 67kg and need to make 63 by Friday do you suggest training to lose weight on the days before the last day
This has given me hope!! I’m 59.7 and need to be u57 😅

Amazing advise on water cutting! I followed this video/ebook for my first time ever water cutting, woke up on my sauna day weighing 202, hit the sauna for 2 hours of sweating and woke up the next morning of weigh in at 193. Thank you so much!

I would love it if you made one for a 2 hour weigh ins or if you can show me the link for it. I realize its just a different math and less extreme but still entertaining to watch. God bless
Great video! Advice for lightweight guys over fifty that are competing. Injury prevention, cycling training, two contest prep, etc. Anything to keep old guys like me competing as long as possible.
Lost 17.7Kg in 6 weeks with 3 of those in the last 24 hours. Thanks for the advice and expertise!
Thank you for this info! Cutting weight for a fight is no joke. I only had to cut 5kg in a week for my first fight and even that was hell.
Finally a no bs video straight to the point, very rare these days
This video was extremely helpful, I really appreciate how you made it
Great video. Was doing a fat off competition at work and this help loads. I won last time around with this method and am doing it again this year. I'm actually at a sauna right now. My weigh in is tomorrow and this is a proven method. Thanks a lot!
This brings back memories from cutting weight when I was a kid. Sitting in the sauna with a gameboy but hours, I used to really enjoy it. We used to take a mild natural laxative as well but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
sitting in sauna for hours umm are you from Finland? lol

Alexander Bromley Hi, just wanted to know is it okay if I actually drink a bit over than 1 gallon of water on the first day? Or does it have to be precise and exactly what you have down on the board? Thanks!
@@abnerapineru1428 it does not have to be precise. Ballpark 1.5 to 2 gallons
Great vid
In a sauna do you recommend being in a sauna suit with hoodie or just bare naked as possible?
Alexander Bromley what kind of foods do you recommend that are no salt no carbs for the day of Wednesday??
Easy to understand. You explained everything perfect
Your delivery is so great on this 😂 had me laughing while learning
I’ve done this so many times to meet weight. It’s a solid plan if you do it right. I rewatch every time I need to do a cut.
Did this once before with a strongman competitor and we used the sauna suits and heater in the car turned up on the drive to FL from GA... it was so gross, but the water we dropped as we peeled off the suits was about 8-12 lbs each.
Wait I’ve never thought of doing that :0
Okay this is something that im going to do ...great idea lol never thought about that
What sauna suit brand did you use?
was gonna try this then i remembered gas prices
Very dangerous thing to do while driving
I started this at 185 a week out from weigh ins and was pretty scared. Ive done weight cuts before but they were all 5-7lbs but with the information in the video helped me get down from 185-171 in a week. Takes lots of discipline and will. I was 2lbs above weight after my sauna session so i hopped on a gym bike for 45 minutes and lost the rest. Thank you so much!
How did u do this ??
@@britt_M04 a shit ton of will and determination. One week out toss on the extra layers and go cycling for 45 minutes each day, do your normal workout and cut the sugars, sodium and carbs. 7 to 4 days out 2 gallons of water each day. On 3 days out 1.5 gallons, 2 days out keep the intake relatively low and cut water 24 hours out. Hit the sauna big time the day before and day of if needed. I did 4 25 minute sessions. SIP conservatively so you don't pass out. Would not recommend unless you're competing on the national/international level and desperately need to lose the weight
did your strength in the meet take a hit?
Very informative and interesting. Thank u I wish i could like this ten times.

Great video! This protocol is nearly identical to that used by elite fighters. Although a lot of MMA fighters and boxers will wear a sauna suit and run, this is actually ill advised. Regardless of your conditioning and cardiovascular capacity, the passive methods of sweating, like the hot bath, are ideal to avoid cramping and being able to perform at the highest level. More fighters would do well to follow this advice.
Thanks mate, great info and well presented!
Respect. Very insightful. Thanks.
Gonna give this a go to make weight for Marine Corps boot camp! I sit between 203-205 but I weighed in at 208 yesterday after some high sodium foods the day before and need to dip under 201 to ship out on Monday. It might feel rough but I'll do whatever it takes to get out there!!
Did this method work for you? I used a different method to cut weight for my last ship day a few months ago & curious to see how this one plays out

Great information!!!
Tried this my senior year of wrestling. Went from 211 to 196
I'm an amateur boxer. I cut weight with the same way you explained with the sauna suit for losing 7lbs. It's easy it works well.

an i allowed to workout during the water loading days
Thank you so much for this video 👍💪
Thank you for the advice, great video
Great video! Lost over 4 kilos in 1.5 days. Thanks dude!
I used this method for my strongman comp to get to a lower weight class (80kg for NAS instead of 181 for USS) and not only was this the easiest cut I’ve ever done, but holy hell I don’t even understand how it worked so well. I lost 9lbs overnight after the 3 gallon day on Wednesday. I don’t even understand how I pissed and sweated that out. Which left me with half of the sauna cut I was expecting… 10/10 recommend. Thank you Bromley!
You drank 3 gallons of water on Wednesday? I thought the video said 2? Just trying to make sure i have all of this right before i do it next week lol
an i allowed to workout during the water loading days
hey man I watched your video so many times followed step by step and it didn't work for me but I found it very helpful maybe i missed something i just wanted to say thanks it was really informative!
Very informative, showing is doing maybe your next cut
The fight before the fight
Big thanks Alex!
I did this a month ago and went from 228 on Sunday night to 207 weight-in that friday afternoon. Very happy but I think I messed up the re-feed because I only got my energy back after the comp was done. I ate lots of carbs and drank two litres of coconut water but now that I'm watching again I see there was probably a lack of salt (although I made a stop to A&W). This time I'm going to add stuff to what I'd normally eat and see the difference. Was 222 last night, 210 this morning, still another 12 to go!
Does anyone else get bad nausea or headaches? I recently learned that excess THC stored in your fat can lead to uncontrollable nausea "Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome" and I'm currently weaning myself off it for health, social, and financial reasons but still wonder if that's affecting me since I experienced this during my last cut as well. Thoughts?
Can I do this if I just want to lose weight? Or will my weight go back up?
Great video!!!
Thank you so much for the tips
Me watching this while looking at my stretch marks 😩😢😭
Good stuff! I have a fight Saturday and thankfully I don’t have to loose 35 pounds 😂
Hey! I’m usually in the 67.5kgs/148.5lbs weight class and was sitting around 70.5kgs/155lbs and did this exact protocol and weighed in at 66.6kgs/146.5lbs for my 24 hour weigh ins, which is rounded up at 5% of my original starting weight.
I only did a 45 minute session in the sauna on sweat day, I had already woken up at 68.5kgs/150.7lbs on sweat day but you can definitely drop more than 5% if you spend more time sweating, I just didn’t see a benefit of dropping more because I was already within my weight class after that session and able to sip on like half a cup of water.
Definitely great stuff 😁 thank you
Thanks for the graph
This was extremely helpful. Thanks brotha
reminds me of cutting weight wrestling in college. i weighed 10 pounds over my class so it was a weekly ritual

Did it work? I have a fight in 2 months
@@javieralmeyda3358 Yeah man I did this to get under 185 and it definitely got me down there real quick man but as he says even us fighters should be careful of doing running or cycling to get the last sweat off unless you REALLY need to. It's gonna gas you out real quick if you have a 5 min x3 round fight
Im gonna do this I have a game on Saturday ima do this
Awesome video
I do this often and it’s torture mentally. My quick way is water loading for 2-3 days only eating 1 tuna pouch with 2 crumbled crackers on the first day.
After I’m done peeing all water I take one bottle of magnesium citrate to pull all water from me I go to sauna the following day for 10-15 at a time to sweat out the rest until I’m at least at my desired weight or a 1/4 of a pound over before weigh in the next day and just sleep with a sweater to drop the rest.
For comfort I’ll chew up an ice cube and spit out or gargle ice cold water. It’s tough but gets me to the goal.
Intense asf
Great video dropped 22 pounds from Monday to Saturday this helped a lot
did your strength in the meet take a hit?
That was very clear. Thanks
Loved the water loading video! What kind of foods are you taking in during the loading? Heavy protein & low carb? Intermittent fasting?
What would be the best amount of carbs and sodium for the first 3 days
Cool video shout out to you from your next-door neighbor in Moreno Valley
Excellent info
Wow, very cool, good to know if you want to cut quick for an event .I only had to cut weight once when I was 12 to stay in a weight class football leauge. Missed it by 3 lbs, my coach was pissed got bumped up to the next weight class.
When i was married. i was up to 326 lbs. I wanted to lose weight. So i started fasting, and drinking lots of water ( i was only eating a tuna lunchable, and fruit.) and some days not eating at all. I bought a sauna suit and started walking a few miles a day.. after a few weeks, i crashed. i had zero energy.. i had to revamp my fast.. So i started eating full meals once or twice a week.. but still eating very light, and not at all on the other days.. I lost over 150 lbs in 4 months.. I have since gotten off my diet. and a year later i gained 40 lbs back.. Today, im trying to start back.. and trying to discover what i did wrong, and how i can do this faster... Any advice would be appreciated. This video is very educational. but seems to be short term.. how can i do this, and maintain?
You're absolutely right. This is NOT for sustainable fat loss! It is 100% for weight class athletes the WEEK OF their meet, more specifically those who have a 24 hour weigh in so they can gain the weight right back. Doing this for more than a day will result in health consequences. For you, first understand that sweating by itself doesn't do a damn thing to lose body fat. You lose fat through physical exertion. Throw away the sauna suit, the walks by itself are what gets the job done. Also, prolonged fasting is not recommended for long term fat loss because, as you found out the hard way, it isn't sustainable. I've gone through similar fat loss phases where I've gone manic and practiced very extreme methods for short periods of time; it almost always ends up in a rebound back the other way. You have to have a plan that fits with your life and obligations. Step 1: find some type of regular physical activity you love doing. Not just exercise (though it can be). You have to genuinely enjoy and look forward to it. I love lifting, which is why I do it weekly without fail. Basketball, soccer, rock climbing, hiking, swimming, cycling, pilates, zumba, crossfit.... it doesn't matter. Just find it and do it. Step 2: Stay away from shit you know you aren't supposed to eat. No soda or sugary foods, nothing fried or soaked in butter or oil, avoid bread, tortillas, and pasta like they are the plague. Most of your meals should be made up of some mix of egg whites, lean meat, white rice, sweet potatoes, and veggies. Step 3: make your diet bulletproof by starting to pay attention to portions and calories. If you can abide by the list of foods I gave you, that's 90% of it. Having an understanding of macronutrients and keeping track of your numbers each day is what makes dieting foolproof. It takes longer to get a hold on, which is why I put it last, but start working on it asap! If you follow these steps, your physique will improve, your energy and focus will improve, and you will have a healthy sustainable lifestyle with out the rollercoaster gaining and losing of weight.
Did you get lose skin after losing 150 that fast.very impressive though.Well done
@@creatingpeacenlove surprisingly, no loose skin.. lot of stretch marks though. when you let yourself get that big. its hard as hell to get it off.. i had to get pissed off and force myself to walk, never allowed myself to set down, unless i walked a few miles.

Anyway: 4th time competing, once with a 4kg water cut on 2hr weigh-ins, but this will be the first time with a 24h weigh-in (changed feds).
I was 14kgs over the weight class limit and through diet & training I'm currently 9kgs over (69kg competing in 60kg). Meet is 5 weeks away. Keep in mind I'm in the so-called lollipop guild...With the water load and carb / sodium manipulation in mind, do I keep eating at maintenance calories (1800 calories for 69kg male) for the next 4 weeks (incidentally the peaking phase of the program) or start reducing by 500 calories daily already?? P.S. I currently have negligible carbs on my non-training days, and eat 1 cup of rice on training days
I appreciate the support! 9 kg is definitely doable, but more difficult for someone in your weight class. I never recommend an actual calorie cut this close to a meet. The point of meet prep is to get stronger and hit a peak and cutting cals is guaranteed to sabotage that effort. If you have body fat that legitimately needs to be worked off, then diet and cardio is on the menu, but do that in the off season, not as part of your peak. The important thing to know for a large cut is that all of the weight drops in a 24-36 hour period. So yes, I would recommend you to maintain up until the Sunday before the meet, run the water load, follow the sodium and carb cut, and then sweat out the rest. I'm not going to lie, this might be a tall order for your first cut. You should have a spotter present for the last bit of weight and you will likely need someone to drive you to and from your weigh ins. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions!
Edit: I assumed this was for powerlifting... if you are fighting then making weight is more important than preserving strength. In the case that you HAVE to make weight, I would have you up the cardio and start sloooowly dieting off 2-3kg before the water load.
@@AlexanderBromley Really appreciate the replies bro! And yes it's for powerlifting! Did a 4kg cut for 2hr weigh-ins for an IPF meet previously so this won't be my first cut but I didn't have to do much sweating that time, just water/salt/carb. Competing in a GPA meet this time so I have 24h to rehydrate. Yeah I still have a bit of a gut now, new dadbod and all. Hmm so maybe diet off 2kg during the 4 week peaking phase? So that's 1500 calories instead of 1800? And no rice on non training days, 1 cup during training days, sound reasonable? 1g protein/lb body weight (chicken breast) still
People put Vaseline on stomach and wrap it to trap heat in and keep it like that for at least 10 hours and they lose alot of weight and tighten skin. I am trying it for the entire part of my body for week.
did it work
You alive?
Hell yeah. I’m going to try this starting tmrw. I have to weigh in a month from now late April. I’m going to try this now and if it works have piece of mind for the next month and focus on just training for my fight. I will keep updates on this post.
?
No dice?
awesome vid!
I used to routinely cut from 300-310 down to 285 bi-weekly. Of course, probably a fair bit easier for
me than the lighter weights... but some heavys do
cut
Today is Friday. I have a weigh in on Wednesday just for a friendly weight loss challenge with some friends. I’m 8 lbs away from what my target weight should be. I’m going to try this and hopefully I’ll also look shredded. I know I’ll gain it back but it’s more for a laugh and to win the prize.
Did it work and did some of it stay off?
@@PDMocha Yes it worked and I won. I was 197 lbs on the Friday, 201 lbs on the Tuesday, 194 lbs Wednesday morning, then by Wednesday evening I was 188lbs. All water so it all came back within a couple days. I’m trying to lose 2 lbs per week and be 185 lbs by the middle of May. I just wanted to try the water cut to see if it would work. The last day was tough. Not drinking very much and sweating it all out. I was happy after I weighed in and could drink a cold glass of water and a beer.
Starting today!
As for the food and water intake, I started the water sunday and low carb monday, started no salt and LOW FIBER tuesday. I drank 2.5-3g a day and was pissing like crazy but once you stop you dry right up. by friday morning I had dropped from 160 to 148 based off of just water retention and lowing the amount of food waste by eliminating fiber.
Your so smart, thank you!!

Don’t try this to get fit. Just get in a diet
