According to that article, they're expecting to put up to 15 lbs before that fight in 24 hrs. Do they just step in the ring with 15 lbs of food in the stomach?

 

[SlitheryDee]

I dunno. I've put on as much as 9 pound in a day when I ate a shitload of sweets. Most of it was water weight and I felt like complete shit. I can't imagine eating enough to gain 15 pounds in one day and then fighting in that condition.

 

[nageov3t]

weigh in once while super dehydrated and then water-load for the next?

 

[masterxfob]

i'm guessing you've never played competitive sports.

 

[bommy261]

don't eat alot, lose your water weight and i bet u'll be 15 lbs lighter easily. Granted, u don't want to stay in this state very long as its hugely unhealthy, but to make weight for a sporting event its done all the time.

 

[Sluggo]

Doesn't water weigh about 8 pounds per gallon? Guzzle two gallons of water and weigh 16 pounds more.

 

[borisvodofsky]

I want muscles like that... Booooooooooooo.... Wish i had millions of dollars to hire fred R.. and that other fat guy as my nutritionist.

They are not trying to gain weight overnight.
They dumped weight (probably with diuretics and heavy sweating) to make <150 lbs. each for the weigh-in; the expectation is that when they are properly rehydrated they will each be ~15 lbs. heavier.

this... diuretics before weigh-in and then re hydrating

It's amazing how much water affects your weight. I've weighed myself right before bed and then when I woke up. I've lost six pounds at night before. You can even sweat out a few pounds by working out.

This. It is easy to gain 15lbs of water weight. That's less than 2 gallons.

 

[nageov3t]

it's never mentioned on-camera, but it's supposedly a pretty common tactic on The Biggest Loser.

when someone has immunity or is reasonably certain that they're safe (such as, because of an alliance that wouldn't vote them off), they'll waterload before the weigh in. then dehydrate before the next weigh in after that when they're not safe and magically lose like 50 pounds.

ugh. I hate that show so much.

 

[0roo0roo]

is it? losing 2 gallons of water...sounds dangerous.

 

[bommy261]

of course its not healthy to remain in that state. but you'll only be that dehyrdrated for a couple hours if u plan it right.

It might be dangerous if it wasn't being monitored for electrolyte depletion, but since these are professional athletes in a controlled environment, I'd think their electrolyte levels are quite carefully monitored.....as is their electrolyte/fluid replenishment after weigh in.

i wasn't talking about cutting weight. on a hot day, if i'm training hard, i can drink a gallon of water and still come back 5lbs lighter. if i didn't drink as much water, i could probably drop 10lbs.

A fatties weight can fluctuate anywhere between 2 - 40 lbs a day. It's caused by the eating a shitting cycle of the fatty, and can be quite horrific for normal people to see. It's just another reason why fatties need to be cast out of society. Everyone knows this.

Usually people dehydrate themselves before a weigh-in to get to the target weight. They then rehydrate their body by taking in fluids. Wrestlers do it all the time before a competition. Some people use the help of IV to rehydrate. It's not unusual for some one to cut 10+ lbs of water weight in a short time and then gain it back.

Yup when I used to train with my buddy for wrestling, he taught me how to make-weight for the next day.
