Question about weight cutting.

[Sherwolf]

Are laxatives allowed for weight cutting? I took one now and I've been on the crapper for at least 30 mins. I'm easily down to ww from mw. Serious question though can fighters use this shit, no pun intended.

 

[Pitier of Fools]

Roy Nelson on laxatives would easily make MW.



On a serious note, laxatives leave you pretty weak, so although it would make you lose weight, it would probably negatively affect performance enough to make fighters not want to use them.

 

[DarkneT]

Don't you mean

SHW to HW?

 

[Kumason]

Diuretics aren't allowed.I assume this would be in that category?Either way I doubt it's legal.

 

[brian]

Taking an laxative while dehydrated probably can cause death, i'm sure it's not allowed.

 

[Leinster Rugby]

Pooing and fapping are USADA approved weight cutting methods

 

[grimballer]

Yeah imagine a fighter is over 1 pound but can’t sweat it out

He takes laxatives n loses 10 pounds which makes him miss weight on lower end

 

[IvanDrago2.0]

Laxatives are allowed

 

[HaulParris]

Dirty talk of the worst kind

 

[Alxair]

Impractical and a health hazard. I can only imagine the amounts of accidents between media obligations if fighters were cutting like that. The last thing we need is El Cucuy tripping over wires and subsequently shit himself.

I was plugged up for awhile and someone told me raw beets, kale, and almond milk blended together. I tried it and let me tell you. That shit works

Just jumping on here to express my admiration for the TS, who likes Sherdog so much that he didn't let a diarrheic episode get in the way of starting a thread. That is dedication.

Diuretics are prohibited, while stool softeners/laxatives are allowed.

I'll quote USADA:
"CATEGORIES OF SUBSTANCES PROHIBITED AT ALL TIMES (IN AND OUT-OF-COMPETITION):
Diuretics and Masking Agents..."

"EXAMPLES OF MEDICATIONS THAT ARE PERMITTED:
Laxative/Stool Softener: Colace, Correctol,
Dulcolax, Ex-Lax, Fibercon, Fleet Enema, Metamucil,
Miralax, sennosides, Senokot, Senokot-S"

But it hardly matters because in order to cut the large weight that most fighters do, they've emptied out their system prior to weigh ins. Most fighters switch to an all liquid diet the last 48 hours, and some hardly even drink the final 24 hours. If their digestive tract isn't completely empty when they step on the scale they've screwed up (that goes for those cutting a lot, not those hardly cutting or the HWs that don't cut at all).

I wish this guy knows that stuff, with his last minute pull out vs Woodley.

If I was one pound over, and still had an hr to make weight. I would...

A: Stick my arm down my throat and hopefully puke a pound out.

If that didn’t do the trick...

B: Get an enema.

 

[Hotora86]

Weight cutting should be banned.

 

[smiles mma]

Weight cutting should be banned.

You should be banned.

Quick answer is, even if they were allowed, most people wouldn't use it. Hs wrestlers get fucked up trying to short cut and try to shit out the weight. Laxative isn't going to help if there is nothing to crap out

Fight Milk all the way...ask Cerrone.
