Sauna + diuretics = deathI don't even believe in cutting water for fighters.
You're sounding crazy.
Not even close. If there is enough time there should be no reason to cut water. We do it a lot. Dolce likes crazy shit like that. MMA still needs to evolve when it comes to S&C and nutrition. When Dolce was doing Rampages diet he would routinely have him drop the last 15-18lbs 48hrs before the fight. IMO, if it wasn't for that he could have finished Rashad when he had the chance.
quote: "he started feeling dehydrated"I'm sure he started to "feel dehydrated" days(perhaps, weeks) well before that day... Sucks, his body must have been in terrible distress.
Remember that cutting water is different from cutting weight. And the time frame at which you cut is imperative. Dolce has been doing lots impressively.However, weight cuts 20 lbs within a few days is absurd. Of course a gradual and progressive cut over weeks is best.
28-year-old Syrian body builder, Mahmoud Ibrahim Alhdidi, died on Friday night in his room at the Retreat hotel in Malad (west). He arrived in Mumbai four days ago as a participant for the Mr Universe World Championship, an international body building competition in the city. He died of heart failure, according to the first post mortem report, police said Saturday. However, reports are still awaited on the chemical analysis of all the body supplements found in his room, said Ramrao Pawar, additional commissioner of police (north region).On Friday, all participants went to the Retreat hotel for a mandatory weight check-up by office bearers of the International Bodybuilding Federation, said senior police inspector Abdul Rauf Sheikh of the Malwani police station.“Alhdidi had not eaten anything for 24 hours before his weight check on Friday. At around 9pm, he started feeling dehydrated and collapsed soon after. The other participants rushed him to Behl Hospital in the area, where he was declared dead on arrival. His body was then shifted to Bhagwati hospital for post mortem,” said Sheikh.Alhdidi was set to participate in the 75kg weight category. Sometimes, bodybuilders don’t eat anything before their event so that they can weigh less during the check-up. This helps them compete with participants who weigh less than them, thus increasing their chances of winning, said Sheikh.Sources said 300 participants have come to the city from 90 countries for the body building competition. “After a series of elimination rounds, only a handful of participants will be sent for the finale on Sunday at the Andheri sports complex,” added a source.http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report_syrian-body-builder-dies-before-competition-in-mumbai_1608176
