What methods do you use to take off the last bit of weight to make your weight limit?
Luckily I am always the lightest weight in bodybuilding and in Powerlifting I always weigh in around 45kg and the weight category is 47kg so never need to worry. Not best situation I know because if I was closer to my weight class I would be stronger I realise that, but when I see my powerlifting friends trying to make weight and sleeping in a sweat suit, not being able to socialise because they cannot eat or drink I would be so miserable I would hate it. I couldn’t stand making the weight then eating up a lot of food. I wouldn’t be able to lift personally.

Several gyms:
Easygym Southampton,
Fratton Gym,
Elite Bodyworks Basingstoke when I can get there.
Also Chilworth Manor where I work also but there is not enough equipment there for my powerlifting or bodybuilding training
