That's different. I know about cutting weight, which implies just losing a lot of water weight for a weigh-in. Once that's over, you can rehydrate and if you're Roy Nelson, eat a whole cow before the fight.

These guys need to keep the weight to nothing for whole weekends. From free practice all the way through the race, then do it again the following week.

They signed the contract, they know the deal, they make plenty of coin.  [bacon]

True, but yeah mainly water. Sport shouldn't promote dangerous health practices like that. I competed in Power Lifting at 3-4 kilos above the class and did the dehydrate/rehydrate/eat a cow thing, and hated it. I feel for jockeys, ballet dancers, skaters, gymnasts, etc that have to keep hard weight off.

I went from a 92 kg power lifter to a 67.5kg kick boxer in six months. It was hard weight lost via intensive training. Amazing what fear of competing as a heavyweight at 5'8" will do to your motivation! [laugh] Speaking of motivation, million $$$$ payroll ain't bad.
I could cope on the F1 payroll, but it ain't right.
