how many calories are you eating a day? one of the things I would change is I would move your cardio run to the early AM before you eat anything. Are you using a HR monitor? you can break up your cardio into intervals so that you warm up for 5 -10 minutes then run hard for "reps" or intervals of 3 minutes with 3 minutes recovery, then cool down for 5 - 10 minutes, figure out how long you want to run for and how many intervals and rest periods you'll need. This workout can be done twice a week and you will drop weight with it if you stay consistent with your diet. A HR monitor would really help here because you'll be able to gauge your intensity and your recovery periods. Do you weigh in the day before matches or day of?

take a stack and some diuretics mayube

that's what I was thinking and that's why I asked if he competes the same day as the weigh in so he can rehydrate the day of the competition and not be too taxed...

What Presser means by a "stack" is an ECA stack, look into it if you're not familiar with it but essentially it's ephedrine, caffeine and aspirin, there's plenty of info on the board if you use the search

I would try some CLA
also your only eating 3 meals a day
you have to speed up your metabolism
eat about 6 small meals
i grow up wrestling so i know where your coming from, i do diets for my brother and his high school wrestling team

yeah I noticed that as well Supe but I was counting he salad and can of tuna snack as a meal which helps a little. BBanner try our suggestions and thenif you really need help you should enlist Supermannpc to help you with your diet the man knows his stuff better than anyone
