Meh
For the first time, I failed to make weight. Not sure if it was because I started tapering my water off to soon, or what, but it was the worst weight cut I’ve ever had. Started at 214 with the goal of getting to 199.9 (or lower if it went easy), weighed in at 202 with nothing left in me. I was barely standing, dizzy, and was doing everything I can not to puke. 15lbs might have been a bit ambitious for my first serious cut in almost 2 years. Naga in the morning in the 200-224 intermediate division. I’m looking at it as another test now. Big, skilled guys that I have to find a way to exploit their weaknesses and use my skill vs their strength.
