I use to love everybody question me watching me push a ton of water the last week and even 3 gallons the day before a show while weighing in on Friday. During my test runs I could cut water at bed time and my body weight would be 14lbs less the next morning every time. One time I started loading and stuffed myself with Little Debbie snake cakes to I couldnt eat anymore, waiting a hour and ate more. Walked in pre judging still flat and started eating fast food chesseburgers I bought the night before. I was full as fuck!
