You wouldn't think that being a 5 Time World Champion would make you an underdog, I am not even sure if he is one. Perhaps it was Willie Aames chasing after him with the hose that did it...
(watch the willie hose freak out to see Jeff's harness his inner chi)

The point is that Jeff "Big Diesel" Ford is trying to do what most talk about, make a comeback and step into something being bigger and badder than before.
I have the honor of working with him on his nutrition and recovery program. This isn't easy though as Jeff needs to make weight for his fight. We have to shed a whopping 44 pounds in 5 weeks. Cutting weight for is a very particular thing. You can cut the weight that fast, but your fighter will be worth a crap time fight comes around. There needs to be massive focus on one main thing...
Electrolyte balance.
You do that wrong and it doesn't matter how hard you train, you wont be worth a damn for your fight.
So we have 5 weeks.
44 pounds.
1 day after weigh in to build him back up.
It is going to be one hell of a ride.
To follow along with Jeff and his training program check out his blog here...

Leigh - This should be good. I will follow this, and I have no doubt you can pull it off. But still, that much weight in that short a time? Without reducing him to a wreck? I WILL be very impressed.

Don't get me wrong, its not the way I want it, but its what we have to work with. I am going to give a lot more detail as to how things are going to work, more so to keep the average jane/joe or even athlete from thinking this is a good idea. This is NOT AN OPTIMAL SITUATION, its just how to deal with this kind of situation in the best manner.
However, I really feel as if we are going to be victorious in achieving what it is we need to achieve.
