How to lose weight 4 kilos in one day if you are a boxer
Julio César Chávez arrived on time with the weight in the fight he will face against Saúl Canelo Alvarez and gave 164 fair pounds (74.3 kg), agreed, on the scale. "They allowed me to eat burgers on Sundays," said the Culiacan, who over three months gradually lost seven kilos, supervised by Ángel Memo Heredia, whose plan led him to arrive with weighing guarantees. The day before, I was at 165.2 before going to bed. The scale and the boxers historically hold a fight. Some who had a hard time giving weight suffered a radical mutation between the day of the weigh-in and the time to get into the ring. Poli Díaz, for example, a Spanish European champion of the 90s who fought for the world title in the summer of 91 against Whitaker had difficulty reaching 61 light weight, but then climbed into the ring with weights above the 68 the next day.Recognizes Rafa Lozano, the Spanish national boxing coach, who sometimes undergo "small barbarities" and rescues from his memory a case of a boxer who under his orders dropped 3,800 kilos in one day. "I told him that we stopped the fight without problems, that I talked to the promoter because there were only 24 hours left, but he begged me not to." Then they started a time trial. "At 10 we went to the gym and we were training for an hour and 10 minutes. And it dropped only 1,200 kg. At 16.30, without eating and barely drinking, just enough to cool our mouth and little else, we returned. We were now 75 minutes Another 1,200 went down. At seven we went to the sauna, with one of those insulating layers that hit the marathon arrivals and got 37 minutes in five sessions. "
Between the Turkish bath and another training session at midnight in the hotel room with the heating on - compass and shadows - it was 250 grams away from the target. "He insisted he wanted to arrive, but he was tired. We decided to wait the next day." They got up at 5.30, two and a half hours before weighing. "He had not lost anything during the night. Then we trained an hour and a quarter and he had 50 grams left. One hour left." And when everything seemed lost, he lost 70 grams, enough to give weight. He recovered so well, that he beat the rival in the penultimate assault. Climbing stairs Also, in other combat sports, methods such as wrapping in cellophane and going up and down stairs have been used. "But that only tires. It's better to jump rope for example," says Lozano. Or go to prohibited methods such as diuretics, origin of many positives in the Olympic period. "Actually, each person is different. I drank poles of those flash (liquids) to not drink so much water and I was doing well. Although with sweets that they were, I was more thirsty, "recalls Lozano, who in his time as a fighter moved by 47.6 kilos. "Usually the last two or three days you can lose between 1.8 and 1.5 kg. Without problems. It is true that it is a huge sacrifice, but well taken no problem. The mind is already accustomed. Those who get off blow if they can then suffer from the sixth or seventh assault. But as I understand it, Chavez has been taken very well. "
