My name is Bryce Krawczyk, and I’m a 2x IPF World Record Holder, and a 4x IPF World Medalist.  My personal nutrition has been handled by Marc Morris for a period of about 1.5 years now.  Nearly all of the information Marc uses to create strategies for my weight gain and loss, as well as water cuts for competitions is all contained in The Way of the Weigh In.  The use of those principles and strategies has been instrumental in my success on the platform as well as my improvements in body composition.  The approach outlined in the book is actually less of an approach and more of a distillation of the currently agreed-upon science regarding weight gain and loss for strength athletes.  The information is clearly laid out so you can pick through and figure out exactly what pertains to you, and in what situations it’s useful.  As a coach myself, I recommend all of my competitors check out Marc’s book, and I implement many of the very same practices with my athletes on a regular basis come game day.  The Way of the Weigh in is a universally useful collection of information that can provide an easy to read roadmap for anyone looking to use nutrition to improve their performance.

As a weightlifter, Marc has used the principles in “Way of the Weigh-In” to guide me through 10+ weight cuts, including Western and National Championships. “Limit sodium, eliminate vegetables and swap food choices” is what always resonates in my head. Eating high-calorie dense foods has allowed me to eat throughout the day prior to weigh in and most importantly not feel hungry. Following the guidance of Marc has allowed for very successful weigh-ins and meets.
