cutting weight for wrestling

Wrestling is an intense contact sport that has been around since ancient Roman times. The sport is won when one wrestler pins the other's shoulder blades to the mat or by points, but wrestling is not only about the wrestling its also about the intense grind and making weight. Wrestling is based on a weight class system, so this means that a lot of the time wresters are pressured to drop to the lowest weight class possible for their body.


To cut weight wrestlers use a variety of techniques such as dieting, laxitives, sweating and even spitting. These techniques minus the dieting are dangerous and unhealthy because they dehydrate your body. Depriving yourself of water can cause fatigue, give you migranes, deflate your muscles, and stunt your growth.


Now dieting is healthy and everyone should try to keep their body healthy and strong, but crash dieting is not healthy and can be very dangerous. Crash dieting is when you consume very little calories, which causes you to lose a lot of weight from fat and muscle mass. Your body is not supplyed with enough calories to grow so you're growth is also stunted.

Losing your excess fat is healthy and something many americans should start thinkning about, but when you deprive your body of the necessary nutrients it requires this can cause many problems.
