Hi, I do judo, the weight classes are between 81kg and 73kg and are often the same day weigh-ins, my weight is around 77-78kg, I've been force-feeding myself, 4-5 meals a day, to gain weight but my body doesn't seem to want to increase weight to fight at 81kg. My plan instead would be 4-5 weeks out, to do intermittent fasting, eating a carb-heavy meal before training (usually in the evening) and then a more protein-based meal after for recovery, with the aim of losing max 1kg a week, would you recommend this? It is more than a 5% body weight cut which you recommended, about a 6% body weight, but I would see it more as a leaning-out phase due to starting in advance. Many thanks for any feedback, and the video is great and very informative
Thank you. This isn’t my first weight cut. But North Carolina has this annoying rule of same day mma weight ins. I felt like I was dying the day of the fight.
