A safe weight cut is crucial for athletes to ensure they maintain performance without compromising health. Rapid weight loss can lead to dehydration, fatigue, and decreased muscle mass, which are detrimental to athletic performance.
To calculate a safe weight loss, consider the following factors: your current weight, target weight, competition date, and the time available for cutting weight. A general guideline is to aim for a 1-2% reduction in body weight per week, ensuring that you do not drop below a healthy threshold.
