TJ Dillashaw reveals algorithm for weight cut

[grimballer]

He left out the part about shedding his skin

N if that doesn’t work, he’ll just cut off a limb n grow it back

 

[William Huggins]

95% chicken? Yeah, right. It doesn't add up.

You forgot the 1 potato, it's what makes the diet so far fetched........

 

[El_Diazo]

No because not everybody has the same exact body composition, diet, and training as TJ.

I’d argue most fighters have a similar diet and training schedule. Body composition obviously not.
But my point being if he cuts to 135 then he’s going to struggle badly to get to 125.

Are you assuming he's cutting from the same weight that he was when he cut to BW? Because if you listen to his interviews, it's clear that he's not.

These people confused by the chart ending at 136....

Face palm supreme.

Zonkger is a dweeb. That's a ripoff of the "Get Me Off Your Fucking Mailing List" paper from almost 20 years ago http://www.scs.stanford.edu/~dm/home/papers/remove.pdf

NERD.

Just Scrap for God's sake.

Either that or he’s not telling the truth which is likely considering a lot of fighters lie about their weight. If he could be 135 5 days out from weighing in then why wouldn’t he be like that all the time? It would only benefit him

because his opponents cut weight and he doesn't want to be at a size disadvantage. Literally the same reason why everyone else cuts weight.

 

[CleverNameEh]

I don't think that's an algorithm.

i love how the chart only goes from 154-136

TJ knows this is a 125lb fight, right???

Maybe The goal is to cut fat/muscle to get to 136 and then cut water to 125.

 

[EdmundsEmptyBankAccount]

TJ claimed to be 135 at the press conference today
His weight cut coach was literally quoted as saying "The numbers don't lie"

There's a chance he might be 125lbs the night before the weigh-in? That sounds like an incredibly unhealthy night for TJ lol

Haha, never seen that one before, that's pretty hilarious.

I think this is a chart for the diet, which is finished now. He'll dehydrate himself to cut the last 10 lbs

 

[Shrewms]

Rofl, yeahhh way to forget the factor of kidney shutdown at the 126-128lb mark. If he does make weight, they won't be focusing on water weight loss, but muscle as well.

 

[Mmaprovost]

125.1 would be hilarious
