Reread your posts, thats not what you were saying.

Which part was I wrong? Im not saying 20lbs but as Clarke pointed out a good 5-7lbs is not unreasonable. Now combine that with 10lbs of water loss and you could cut 15-17lbs while only losing 10lbs of water the day before weigh ins. The 5-7 additional lbs comes from dieting and training the weeks leading up to the weigh ins. As Dougie pointed out. Diet = mass loss.

On a side note I have known guys to use purges such as Magnesium Citrate to empty your colon. You can lose a few pounds but I would worry about the shits staying with me too long.

Thats pretty much the way 99% of athletes refer to it.

He's a rookie at this weight.

For me, when I think cutting I think water weight. Diet is mass loss. That is how I refer to it but that is just my 2 cents.

Give it up elburro, you were wrong and now grasp at straws. Sure there is "waste" in your system and taking a dump is part of the cut as well as taking a piss. But there is no 20 pounds of waste in your system, this is an old wives tail from the guys who give themselves enema's.

LOL he'll drink and eat small meals to gain back the small amount he cut if any. Dude's not gonna GAIN 20 lbs in a day! It's called rehydrating and replenishing.

So basically, this whole argument is over semantics.Can't we all just get along?????????????

This is a misconception. And by trying to point it out people are lashing out against me because I am challenging their longstanding beliefs. The truth:Weight that is lost through "cutting" refers to any kind of weight that can be easily replenished. That includes not just dehydration but bodily wastes as well. As Clarke pointed out, the intestines and colon can be emptied out through proper dieting and exercise but that begins at the start of the training camp.
