Could I REALLY be retaining this much water?
Alright everyone, so JV States is on Monday and I plan on wrestling 171+2 for a weight class of 173. I am currently 176.
2 days ago I started a supplement stack of SuperPump 250 and OxyELITE Pro. SuperPump is a pre-workout supp, and OxyELITE is a thermo.
Yesterday I weighed 174.1, and ate less than 1500 calories. I also had a pretty intense wrestling practice, with a 20 minute jog/run (2.5 miles in 20 minutes) and 4 minutes of sprinting.
What I ate yesterday:
-6 hard boiled eggs (no yolk)
-shredded chicken sandwich
-2 ham steaks (with 1/8 cup of maple syrup)
-1 can of sweet peas
I woke up this morning and weighed 176. WTF?
What I am thinking is that the ham steaks, which are GROSSLY high in sodium are causing me to retain this weight.
Combined, they equal 150% of the DRV of sodium. Do you think 3,000mg of Sodium could be causing me to retain 2lbs of water?
If so, how do I get rid of that water by Monday? I am currently drinking 64oz of water, and plan on taking some diuretics. Will this help?
PLEASE, ANSWER IF YOU KNOW!

That's easy to do buddy, calm down.
Go to your local gym, ymca, etc and get in the sauna while wearing sweats and a sweatshirt.
Stay in there until you lose the weight needed. I used to do 6-8 hours worth and could drop 4-6 lbs in that time.
If you're still heavy come sunday night, get up early Monday and run, run, run until you've dropped enough.
You should be able to cut a up to 5 lbs in two days if you're really serious about wrestling. Most successful wrestlers cut between 5-10 lbs the week of a tournament.
Another thing that will help is not eat at all on Sunday. Wait for weigh-ins and then you can gorge all you want. I've weighed in for a tournament at weight and put on 3 lbs before my first match. They don't weigh you but once.
