Making Weight for Martial Arts

You’ve tried to make weight before but, uh, it didn’t go well.
You missed the cutoff or had side effects from laxatives or were so exhausted from crash dieting that you couldn’t train. It doesn’t have to be like this!

Learn actual strategies used by pro martial arts fighters that work. 

  • Make weight safely OR stay within your weight range.
  • Have energy for your training during training camps or while making weight.
  • Develop specific fight or tournament day eating and recovery strategies.

Dr. Schubert requires a minimum of three months subscription services to develop eating strategies, achieve weight class goals and develop a fight day or tournament plan.
