    Question How much weight dropped in last week b4 show?
    Ok, I realize there may not be even a "generalized" answer to this but figured I would ask just to be sure. From all my reading along with being around/helping bros get ready for shows, the average weight dropped during that last prep week prior to stage time seems to be roughly 6-10lbs. With a show coming up in 7+ weeks, is there a fairly consistent range I can expect to lose i.e. predict what I will actually weigh at time of weigh-in? I appreciate any thoughts, threads, articles or just personal experience you share that might provide some answers

    Everyone is different hun. Some people can drop 5lbs overnight if they are using a diuretic to help them dry out. Are you using any diuretics for the show?

    That is dependent on way to many factors: Your sodium load/deplete, Your water intake: The diuretic your taking. How much carbs you've been taking.

    In all honesty most people drop TOO MUCH typically. 14 lb's sounds like a little to much but i didn't see your pics.

    A'ight, that's about what I figured, but hey, you never know ;-) Fyre, no diuretics, have messed with 'em before and did not like at all. Of course, I say that here at 7 weeks out..... Thanks guys and gals.

    14 lbs is the most i have ever heard of!! like the above said there are many factors to take in here, but 6-10 is a good guess if your using no diuretic and just water manipulation!!

    I believed I dropped 6-10 lbs until the weight-in. Mostly from water, cause I love that feeling of having that paper thin skin!!!

    Get some NWB Tensity!!!
