Water restriction 101.
In attempt to see how much I can manipulate my weight in one day, I tapped into my water weight and tested out restricting my water.
I weighed myself before boxing.
I weighted myself after boxing.
Despite drinking 2Ls of water during boxing, I had sweated out 3lbs of water weight.
Three pounds of body water weight... Wow. With temperatures at Elorde in the mid 30's and my training stretching out to roughly two and a half hours, it's a crazy drop in weight but not really when you consider the intensity of my training and training environment.
I drank water to my heart's content during boxing but then limited myself to only the bare minimum with liquids for the rest of the day -- 2 small coffees and about 300ml during evening weight training.
I must have complained about a billion trillion times about being thirsty during the rest of the day!
Coach Garry thinks I'll only drop a few pounds, I'm aiming for 7 but expecting 5lbs.
