Two years ago I cut from 208 to 199 for a jiu jitsu tournament, took 4 hours in a sauna
Excruciatingly painful, was so dehydrated I couldn't sit up straight, and I felt like I was hungover the next day, even after downing protein shakes and pedialyte after weigh ins.

For me at least, the next weight class was 225 pounds. The difference between me at 208 and a guy who cut down to 225 and could weigh 235-40 is MASSIVE. Like a whole new class of muscle-bound human.
