Sweating off pounds

Gappa238 · 09-21-2005, 03:18 PM

I've always heard of wrestlers wearing layers at workouts and hitting up the sauna for long periods of time to drop pounds before competions and I was wondering if this is a good method for cutting to keep weight off or do the results only last for a short period of time? Please educate me :bigthumbu

You don't lose fat that way. You lose water, which is only temporary.

But a sauna everynight or whatever, if you like it, will help in keeping *SOME* fat off. I notice I kept leanness quite easily when I was hitting an hour sauna everynight after working out

It's only temporary in order to make weight. Those same wrestlers also consume a lot of food and fluids after weigh-in and the weight comes back pretty quickly.

When I do it, it only lasts for a little while. There was one time where I had to run around, do jumping jacks, up-downs, pushups, burpees, all just to lose 0.3 of a pound. After I weighed in, I almost collapsed from all the water loss.

It wouldn't help you really lose fat, just raise your temperature and make you lose water weight.

So what if you hit the sauna after every workout for a month or two straight, then would the water weight be more likely to say off or would it come right back on?

You don't want to try and keep water off to look lean. If this is the case then you are not truly lean and need to lose some bodyfat. Especially if you are a sprinter, you need that water for hydration.

I heard that sprinters had no problems with staying hyrdrated because of some kind of "juice" they were using :redcard:
