THE WAY OF THE WEIGH-IN

by Dr. Marc Morris

The “Way of the Weigh-in” is the comprehensive, evidence-based guide to cutting weight in 2-hr weigh-in sports.

This book details my 10-year experience as a competitive strength athlete, international powerlifting coach, but most importantly, practitioner in the art of making weight classes safely and effectively. Cutting weight can offer a competitive edge, but leaves plenty of room for error.

We’ll discuss:

• why it might be your best interest to cut weight (Chapter 2)
• what your body is made of (Chapter 3)
• how to manipulate your weight in the long- and short-term (Chapter 4)
• the impact supplements and medication have on your weight (Chapter 5)
• mental aspects of making a weight class (Chapter 6).
• practical strategies for minimal, moderate and drastic weight cuts (Chapter 7)
• post weigh-in (Chapter 8)

Through this book, you might realize the best plan is not to cut weight at all – avoiding some of the potential negative aspects of cutting weight (decreased performance, mental impact, safety etc.).

Whatever you decide, this book has been written to guide any weightlifter, powerlifter, strongman or strongwoman into their weight class.

Enjoy!
