May we hear about this protocol?
Thanks.

Sure. But I want to be clear that this could be unsafe to do, I'm not a doctor, yada yada yada. This isn't my creation, I got it from somewhere but I have no idea where. I didn't save that part in my notes. Basically it is a week without carbs or salt and gradually less and less water. No carbs/salt makes you hold less water. I was working with a fighter and he cut 22lbs doing this, which was insane; the most I've cut using this is 12lbs.
Very important to note that this is only for day before weigh ins, not same-day weigh ins or bodybuilding comps.
