If I wanted to be my strongest, I would never be cutting over 5lbs in the sauna.

I don't think so. I've heard of some fighters cutting in excess of 500lbs in a week. So 300lbs in 24 hours doesn't sound too far fetched. Extremely difficult to do, but definitely possible

For wrestling, with day-before weigh-ins, I would cut 28-31 lbs in the last 36 hours. Evacuation of bowels and subcutaneous water cut methods are all important, over and beyond traditional methods.

can you explain how the methods work? how much did you lose doing different methods? how do you gain back the weight without being fatigued?
