awood2 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 We have discussed the most missed foods. What are your odd tricks to help you get through cutting weight? When I was really thirsty the night before, but right on weight, I would drink a cap full of milk followed immediately by dill pickle juice. It would kill my thirst and I could sleep for awhile.

B Campbell Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Back in the day....blah blah blah....when I had horrible cotton mouth from dehydration, I would put a very small pebble in my mouth. That would help to stimulate salivation...it was a little crunchy though when I got hungry!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futureheadcoach Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I used to eat a couple pinches of gatorade powder the night before a meet. It killed the cottonmouth and made it a lot easier to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midwest Wrestling Fanpage Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I used to keep lemon drops and use those to stop cottonmouth, stand on your head before weigh-ins thats what I used to tell the kids if they were a couple 10ths off.

Old171 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I use to use a cardiac patient diet it took 10 lbs off in three days and allowed me to eat and drink. It was very specific food and drink but it allowed me to cut 40lbs my senior year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlevito Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Whenever I was able to drink something, I would for some reason drink it with ice cubes in it. For some reason it made it more satisfying at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poptart125 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Take a traditional lemon-lime gatorade, take about half of it out, and sit the bottle on it's side in the freezer for two hours... AMAZING SLUSHIE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Slurpies/Slushies are the best during wrestling season. Add to that freezie pops...mmmmmmm! Anything that is ice cold is great during the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maolsen Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I wouldn't say I managed my weight well, but with cottonmouth, I would just get some water in my mouth, and spit it out, the problem was it would come back... so I would try to make weight, and then id have about a pound of w/e I could take in, cause personally I usually lost 1 and a half pounds sleeping, so id lose the weight and have a little bit of room to drink/eat... that being said, despite the weight I lost I still seemed to be small for my weight, which was annoying considering I was losing about 15 pounds to make weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcatcountry97 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I know we are all talking about our own experiences, but since there are a lot of kids out there it think it noteworthy to mention that while we all did it, having cotton mouth or being dehydrated the night before is not only very bad on your body, it also prevents you from performing at your optimum. You should have a sound diet (very little body fat), and be fairly close to your weight. You should not drink sugar, and you should not be dehydrated. (if you are going to cut water weight, it should be within an hour or so of your weigh-in) This is fine conversation, and fairly amusing, but i just want to make sure we are not encouraging it, nor promoting it as good practice.

Very well said, too many people feel they have an "edge" when they cut a great deal of weight, but the reality is they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
