I'd just stay at 94 and cut from there, not a particularly big cut at all and would allow you to keep kcals higher/bw a touch higher/leverages a smidge better.

Yeah I'm just overthinking this but really. Agreed

Im the same weight usually about 94kg.

How hard would it be to drop below 90 without dieting?

Should be pretty straight forward with a water load/cut and zero carb foods day before - I usually run a late lunch and no evening meal day before weigh in. With lowest water 0.5 litres throughout the day.

This was a post @Con made a while back on cutting weight

Lets say you weigh in Friday morning.

Sunday-Wednesday: 10 liters water
Thursday: 10 liters but all finished by 2pm
No sodium added in any form from Wednesday.
No carbs from Sunday on.
Fat/protein meals only (from Wednesday nothing that adds sodium that makes for bland eating!)

Then Right after weigh in focus first on water hydration.
Add sodium back in right away.

Focus on carbohydrate meals keep protein low to get more carbohydrate in.
Throughout Friday night wake every 3 hours for more fluid and food.
Add 2 grams of creatine in with each meal.
Saturday morning you should be good to go!

Years ago I cut around 18lb and then regained 20lb after weigh in.


Now for same day weigh in just do it in a less drastic method.
Increase water slightly from Sunday onward.
Drop out carbs.
Thursday don't add any sodium and stop drinking at 6pm assuming an 8am weigh in.
As soon as you weigh in just get plenty of water/sodium in.
Don't over eat here it will decrease performance.
In the days leading up to it you can just keep calories high by keeping fat high.
For one rep maximal strength you wont need a load of carbs any ways.

10 litres of water?

10?

I would not eat any food/10.

Will stick to bein a pencil neck in the 100s

Dropping down would bring the qual total down 30kg tho :rofl:

Well tbh Dig told me this time round don't worry about class or totals etc.. Just get as big and strong as possible and whatever your in on day so be it, its more the experience.

So no real plan as such except eat as much as my faggit appetite allows..

But i usually weigh 93/94kg on mornings.. Which puts me in 100 class. Qual total of 577.5kg

The 90 class is 545.5kg
.i think

Fair point. Have you planned openers?
 
Be careful rehydrating if drink too fast you'll cause a diueretic effect.

Sugars with water better than plain water. Having fructose is advantageous at this time so table sugar is a good option although I add some dextrose to get a 'better' ratio (from what I've read).

Calories are important as well as carbs. I.e. don't just opt for high carb low fat foods.

4kg isn't a big deal so make the actual cut as less stressful as possible. Water loading and a bit of sodium manipulation should about do it. May need a hot bath or two morning of weigh in. Don't drop kcals except the day before where will likely have to a bit. Day before easy digestable foods.

Not sure how your body responds but personally I'd keep water in for longer the day before and then do a quick cut with hot baths. Eg allow a couple of litres of water earlier in the day and then sip here and there after that. But again don't know how you respond etc.

Interesting part of it anyway imo. Luckily have had some good help off my brother who was a much higher level athlete than I am and is a professor of physiology, a ridiculously switched on guy on all matters phys.
