And come on Austin don't play dumb...........any wrestler from 6th grade on or any fighter who cuts weight......also diets or watches their weight? If not the cut is that much harder. If it's so detrimental then why are middle school kids allowed to do it?

- Sunday: 3 gallons of water, normal salt, normal carbs (i.e healthy but no restrictions)
- Monday: 2.5 gallons of water, normal salt, normal carbs
- Teusday: 2 gallons of water, normal salt, 1/2 carbs
- Wednesday: 1 gallon of water, normal salt, no carbs
- Thursday: 1/2 gallon water (stop drinking and eating 24 hours before weigh-ins) no salt, no carbs.
- Friday: No water, no salt, no carbs, no food. Run/jog (1-3miles) in full suit. Sauna (30 minutes in 5 minutes out) until weight is made.
Most I've ever lost is 27 pounds Sunday to Friday. While the dieting aspect is healthy and normal, the severe dehydration and lost of salts from the body is very unhealthy and causes severe damage to the brain and kidneys (as well as just about every organ of the body).
I am in graduate school researching concussions and their associated damage to the brain. I can promise you that just because we don't see immediate chronic effects, individuals are paying the price across their lifetimes with severely increased risk of: stroke, alzheimers, dementia, PTSD, mania, anxiety, and chronic depression.
Saltatory conduction is the ENTIRE basis by which our neurons communicate inside our brain. Imagine what you're doing by eliminating those salts and lowering your baseline like we do in weight cutting. Now imagine you lose water which provides the bulk of your ECF and blood-brain-barrier protection. NOW imagine you're a developing 14 year old kid with 4-5 times more neurocognitive energy requirements of an adults and you're doing these things...? Trust me weight cutting is ****** up, but people just don't know why. I'm not mad at any coaches or anyone because nobody has educated them. The field is so far behind in these areas and public outreach is just trash. Think about the amount of misinformation and lack of education about a ******* world-wide vaccine. There's even less knowledge and public understanding about concussions.

I haven't done my greatest strikers of all time ranking yet but I was thinking of putting Ben Askren at #1.
EDIT: Done! I mean, the guy is a technically a pro boxer after all!

He should open his 10k fridge and eat expensive ice cream and tell people to stay home during the pandemic.

@Feedingabusacarrot, just keep pumping my number up until @Mikey gets his wish because @Greg is so fed up with a 500 amateur fighter being ranked in the top P4P lmfao.
