Weightcutting method, anyone tried this?

Mixed Martial Arts Coach Fred George uses this method with his fighters. For full interview see the link above:

ME: What do you have your guys eating? I am assuming they don't become overweight from eating too much protein.

FG: My guys usually don't have any problems because I have them eating pretty clean. They eat carbohydrates like yams, brown rice, small red-skinned potatoes and oatmeal. The bodybuilding lifestyle is all based on that, but I try to take it to another level. For example, the biggest trick I teach, which is a trade secret within bodybuilding, is before a contest (to make weight) or show, have your fighter sit in a hot bath - the hottest water they can handle - with approximately one gallon of Epsom Salt and five to eight bottles of Winter Green rubbing alcohol, (which is pored on the body). They lay in there and it sucks out all the subcutaneous water, while allowing the body to retain its intramuscular water. For bodybuilding purposes, if you sit in that for 30 to 45 minutes, pad dry it off, and go straight to sleep. When you wake up in the morning you will be shredded.


Any experiences/thoughts on this?

Not only that, but this is used before a contest or show to make weight.  For an MMA fighter that means they are trying to make weighin and are not worried about long term.  For the bodybuilder, he is trying to look dryer and cut.  It is all just temporary.

Just completed a 12 week High Intensity Training program.  52% average increase in weight lifted for each exercise.  Up 12 lbs. body weight, down 1.78% body fat for an increase of 14.02 lbs. LBM and a decrease of 2.02 lbs. of fat. 

 It only lasts until you have something to drink, lol.
