Gsp in at 170pounds then fought at 187. I have cut 8 pound the day before a fight but how did he cut 17?

Question

I mean gaining back 17 pound is a huge difference.  Does anybody know how to cut that much wieght then not feel like absolute crap the day of the fight?

It's pretty typical for fighters to 8-14lbs after cutting weight.  No doubt 17 is a bunch but can be done. 

The secret is the steam room.  Grab this product called abilene.  It's a makeup remover but it opens up your pours and makes you sweat.  Throw on your plastics (sauna suit) and start shadow boxing in the steam room.  then rest, and take occasional rests outside of the steam room.  It's a bit grueling and for me the hard part of the fight.  I did 6lbs before the weigh in's last fight, and have friends that have done 12lbs in one session!  Internationally fighters who cut that much will get hooked up an IV right after weighing in.  Pedialite is a good drink after cutting weight to restore electrolites.

if youy don;t drink water or have food for 2 days and workout the day before the weigh in its possible. i have shed 12 pounds before that way, so it really is based on water weight more than anyting else.
