hey everyone my name is Shintaro Higashi
and for those of you who don't know me
I'm a combat athlete judo is my main
sport I've had a little bit of success
there
I've won nationals twice I wrestled in
high school in college Allstate I've
done BJJ boxing all sorts of combat
sports you name it I've done it
I just most recently came back from the
Samba World Championships fought Russia
first round the six-time world champion
got smoked but that's besides the fact
here's my cauliflower here to prove that
I'm a combat athlete indeed the reason
why I'm making this video today is to
Trump my progress for making weight I
usually fight 220 but I'm coming back at
a lower weight class
I'm actually not fighting 198 I'm
actually jumping all the way down to 178
and I've been dieting pretty hard so I'm
in pretty good shape now I just stepped
on this scale today at 198 and I feel
pretty good you know it's not always the
case that I'm in great shape you around
sometimes it gets away from me I know it
shouldn't be as a combat outfit um you
know always within weight but you know I
live in Manhattan and it's a lot to do
eat Soho gets away from me sometimes but
I'm doing this here let me show you my
calendar right so I'm 198 today and I'm
gonna do a mock weigh-in on Saturday the
reason why I'm doing a mock weigh-in is
because three weeks from now I'm
competing in Peru I'm fighting at a
World Cup event and then the week after
I'm fighting in Argentina and I don't
want to go out there unprepared I don't
want to make an unfamiliar wait class in
an unfamiliar body and then try to
compete in an optimal way in a weight
class that I haven't been at you know in
years essentially so that's why I'm
gonna do a mock way and I'm going to
chop my progress so when I actually do
it few weeks from now I've done it
before and I got a peace of mind to know
that you're not compete optimally so
like I said 198 I'm going to be I want
to be 178 by this date and then
once I rehydrate I'm going to chart how
I feel chart my progress and everything
get a workout in and you know see you
know give myself some information some
valuable information so I could compete
well um so I'm going to show you guys
exactly how I'm going to do it that way
when you guys go through it you guys can
follow sort of this method today I am
starting off by drinking two gallons of
water two gallons of these two these and
then I'm gonna eventually reduce the
water intake from two gallons a day two
gallons a day one gallon half gallon
quarter gallon and then um my body's
gonna be getting rid of water like crazy
and uh you know that's the plan that's
the plan I can't claim this as my own
it's not Martin Rooney who was my coach
and mentor for a very long time he
taught me how to do it so I can't claim
it as my own but it really does work
wonders so the number one thing is
manipulating fluids liquids uh how much
water I drink and I'm really regimented
about that and then the next thing that
I have to really focus on is my sodium
intake because sodium makes you retain
water so I'm allowing myself to have
just a tiny bit of sodium today tomorrow
but then I'm completely going to cut
that out you know once I Slyke I said
when I start drinking my two gallons of
water a day my body's gonna get you set
an amount of water go into complete
flush mode especially with no Saudi of
my body there's no reason for me to
retain any water and I'm gonna break
down the water and on Friday the day
before my weigh-in I'm not gonna have
any any water and then I'm gonna try to
sweat everything out take baths go for
runs things like that it's a whole
method to it so aside from sodium I have
to also you know remind myself that I
have to eat properly during this time
and then I'm gonna limit myself to under
50 grams of carbs a day I started myself
off today with this little baby food
thing it's absolutely delicious ah 18
grams of carbs and very little sodium
minimally processes the whole food so
there's only 90 calories so you know I'm
off to a good start
I'm off to a good start I'm going to
that take my protein shake eat my
chicken I'm gonna keep the calories to a
minimum though um yeah so you know I'm
very optimistic I hope you guys can
learn something from this video I'm
gonna chop my progress every day as I do
this and you know I'm very excited about
this I'm optimistic I feel pretty good
talk to me on Thursday or Friday and I
might not be there but I'm gonna do my
best to keep this consistent so you guys
can have a resource that you could go to
and you know like I said it's for me
also so stay tuned and the other port
seeing you guys
