The Nick Symmonds Track Classic is back! And this year we have eight events over eight weeks, including field events!! Free Run Gum, autographs, and cash prizes at each event. Location + time & dates here: instagram.com/nicksymmonds. ALSO, this marks the beginning of Sunday AM video drops. For the next eight weeks, my TH-cam videos on this channel will go live at 9 AM Pacific. As always, I will be responding to comments for the first hour! :D
I know this feeling. I walked around at 245 pounds, and would play at 265 for football. Heavyweight wrestling class was 235 in MA at the time. Only respite was you could make weight the day before meets, so I was like Nick here trying to cut weight. Not fun. On the plus side, I could plump back up overnight and have 10-15 pounds on my opponents.
Waitress: "Would you like a cup of coffee"? Nick: "Coffee is a diuretic, it will make me pee and poop so in theory I should expel more than I ingest". Waitress: "Is that a yes?"
@@nicksymmonds From what you said during our interview, the haters on LetsRun might say SUMO Wrestling ;) 🤣 Also, I was surprised how entertaining I found this video!
Sleep does wonders. Improves your mood, aids muscle building, and does a thousand other things. I'm only a little bit that surprised someone like Nick sleeps early. The reason for that "little bit" is because he takes so much caffeine: Rungum and Coffee.
I used to wrestle in high school, I appreciate your emphasis on the importance of healthy weight cutting! That erg clip definitely gave me flashbacks lol
@SomethingReallyStrange I'm recovering from an ED right now and Idk why i'm watching this but its so incredibly harmful. Sickening that he did this for views, that he weighed himself that much, purposely skipped dinner, etc. He is an athlete. He should know and promote the importance of fueling your body the right way, not this bullshit.
During an ultramarathon in triple digit heat, a guy I was running with had lost 18 lbs in about 12 hours. He dropped at the next aid station and was in really bad shape.
I did this exact challenge about 10 years ago. I bet my friend $100 that I could lose 10 lbs. in 24 hours. I lost 14 lbs. I ran a marathon within that time and didn't eat much. I also drank a LOT of water just before the first weigh in, which was allowed in our agreement and I think accounted for half or more of the weight loss.
Azka Gul if you want to try to keep the weight off you have to stay in a calorie deficit so eat low calories and burn more than you eat so that you will continue to lose weight because if you just go back to your regular eating you will gain the weight back quick
Ive lost about 8 lbs on one of my night time longs run in FL during the summer, about 150 to about 142, though even after chugging like 2 L of water asap after I still got a very harsh dehydration feeling trying to sleep that night.
I run track and cross country and I've wanted too quit so many times in some races and u have helped me so much I think of your vids and I just push through thank you so much
But what do U win as a wrestler. Best case U are ignored when in the olympics. Worst case u get used up in fake wrestling. In the middle of the road you roll around in sexual positions wearing skin tight leotard with a Creepy coach watching and telling u what positions he wants to see.
I find with nomad fasting or multi day fasting the loss is quicker when drinking more water. From reading it seems because your body is working through even that water still, the extra trips to the bathroom also help 😊
As the guys on Peaked Too Early have discussed, the heavyweight mile (200 pounds and up) seems like a fun challenge. If you got up to 200, what do you think you could run? And who else do you think would be good at it?
@@jasonrichwall7419 fastest 2 miles ive seen was 9 minutes dude was over 200 lbs ive seen fast fat guys ive seen fast short guys ive seen fast buff guys
According to Guinness World Records, Ron Allen is the world record holder. He lost 9.7kg (21.4 lbs) in 24 hours, in August 1984. (Went from 113kg (248.9 lbs) to 103.3kg (227.5 lbs))
Dang, I wish I would've known this. I went on a hike in the desert in the middle of summer, got lost, ran out of water. Left at 246 lbs, came back at 221 lbs. It did slightly exceed 24 hours though, but I also had food before I weighed myself when I got back home. If I weighed myself right before the hike and right after, I bet I still would've lost more than 21.4 lbs, and that would've been right around 24 hours. I bet survival-type situations are excluded from Guiness anyways though
I lose 5 to 7 pounds in the sauna every day (1.5 to 2 hours) but put it right back on drinking fluids in about 30 minutes. Not recommended, but I've been doing it for years and it works for me.
A few years ago I went to Key West, Florida for a triathlon. Oddly enough the hotel room I stayed in had bathroom scales. For whatever reason I weighed myself (163 pounds), later that day I got really sick on some bad crab legs, it was very bad I'll just say. The next day when I was able to crawl out of bed about noon (missed the race of course) I weighed myself again just because I was curious. I lost 10 pounds and didn't even have to work out.
a cool trick I used to cut extra water. around dinner drink about half a cup (measuring cup) of mounted Do. it gives you a small bit of energy and the caffeine is a diuretic and helps you pee when your cutting water and you're already dehydrated. got to put that trash bag under the sweats
Nick, you are aware that drinking water makes your body hold on to water weight less. meaning you'll be going to the bathroom more the more water you drink, meaning if you stop drinking water you're actually likely to hold on to more water weight
So if you’re a firefighter just do towers with gear and SCBA on for an hour. You’ll lose about 5 to 6 lbs of mostly water weight. During training burn days you’ll lose up to 12 lbs or more in less than 12 hours. Just depends on the heat.

Hi can you make cardio for weight loss
Hi how are you
Im going to try and make one this year! Hopefully you do an event around Tennessee
This seems very risky
Man, i wish I could be a part of your events, let me know when you come to the Midwest lol
Alternate Title: a normal day for a highschool wrestler
Amen! 🙌🏻 don’t miss that!
accurate
fax i cut 15

Nothing more true has been said
Now the question is, how much weight can you gain in 24hrs? 👀
That’ll make him fat 🎅🏻
give the people what they want
Imagine if he gets water intoxication from chugging water.
Just drink a bottle of olive oil
@@waldenh7668 that is beyond foul
Would have only lost 9.9 lbs without that last minute run gum!
Yes, RunGum came in handy, everyone check the link in the description to check out RunGum!!! (This comment is not sponsored)
Anyone else sees this comment and have the total spoiled lol thanks new youtube
In the top 1-2 that are shown *
lol you know it!!!! RUN GUM FTW!!!!
@@cdoria4588 thanks for the love!
“This is not smart”
As he flexes his guns and makes a big, goofy smile 😂
This should be called the wrestler weight cut challenge
Nah it ain't that easy at least for skinnier people
Waitress: "Would you like a cup of coffee"? Nick: "Coffee is a diuretic, it will make me pee and poop so in theory I should expel more than I ingest". Waitress: "Is that a yes?"
Could have just had an espresso shot to avoid the extra liquid.
drinking coffee = 5 trips in the bathroom for me. 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Is this the start of Nick's wrestling career???
Lol so many people at my school do that, I could never
Yes, but WWE wrestling ;)
@@nicksymmonds From what you said during our interview, the haters on LetsRun might say SUMO Wrestling ;) 🤣
Also, I was surprised how entertaining I found this video!
@@ParkerMax Your interview with Nick was so good! Also loving the race videos!
Thing I was most surprised about was Nick going to sleep at 8pm...
He wakes up at 5:30 though
Sleep does wonders. Improves your mood, aids muscle building, and does a thousand other things. I'm only a little bit that surprised someone like Nick sleeps early. The reason for that "little bit" is because he takes so much caffeine: Rungum and Coffee.
@@soraya217 still 9 hours+, pretty far above the average adult as far as I know
@@Exachad true, just 9 hours seems more than most adults would need
@@lsg-longshotgaming9123 Nick aint no average adult
Meanwhile: *me gaining 10 pounds in one day*
Na you look fit
Even if I wanted to the most weight i could gain in a day is like 3lbs then lose it the next day
@Huńt3r ik that's what I meant
I love your videos Nick
Plz keep this at 69 likes 🤣🤣
102 likes
140 likes
I used to wrestle in high school, I appreciate your emphasis on the importance of healthy weight cutting! That erg clip definitely gave me flashbacks lol
*Reminder* Don’t try at home this behavior could cause eating disorders
Nick clearly advised others NOT to do this.
Funny thing is 10lbs is not a huge cut in fighting sports
@SomethingReallyStrange it is horrible for ED
@SomethingReallyStrange I'm recovering from an ED right now and Idk why i'm watching this but its so incredibly harmful. Sickening that he did this for views, that he weighed himself that much, purposely skipped dinner, etc. He is an athlete. He should know and promote the importance of fueling your body the right way, not this bullshit.
Ye, such as eating twice more than usual and gaining even more weight
*furiously takes notes*
Your shirt was holding more weight than normal with all the sweat!!!!!!!
I'm always blown away by your dedication! Killer job :D
Imagine coming into work and having your boss doing a challenge like this
I've lost 8 pounds while running about 15 miles in summer. But I was obese, so it was much easier for me than for you, Nick
15 miles in 1 season? that isnt much
@@chaztitan6457 running while obese is a bitch tho, that seems like a healthy starter amount
Chaz titan yeah let’s not put people down for trying to improve themselves.
it was mostly water, you dont loose much fat in one cardio session
@@chaztitan6457at least he’s trying I bet he did more than u did.
13:22 "it wasn't as monumental as I'd hoped for" LMAOOOO 😂😂
Why does he look like green arrow at the end 😭.
Friend: What did you have for dinner yesterday ?
Nick: A stick of celery
YUM!!! :D
Some people do sometimes lol
During an ultramarathon in triple digit heat, a guy I was running with had lost 18 lbs in about 12 hours. He dropped at the next aid station and was in really bad shape.
Yeah. It happens. That guy needs to dial in his nutrition... you can do real damage if you’re not careful.
Nick is starting to upload more yessss!!!!
EVERY SINGLE WEEK!!! :D
He wore the same clothes to bed and the next day. what a legend Nick!
Lost 22 lbs overnight to make 135 in HS. Nick really needs to talk to some wrestlers for this one.
All water weight? Sorry if dumb question!
I did this exact challenge about 10 years ago. I bet my friend $100 that I could lose 10 lbs. in 24 hours. I lost 14 lbs. I ran a marathon within that time and didn't eat much. I also drank a LOT of water just before the first weigh in, which was allowed in our agreement and I think accounted for half or more of the weight loss.
Smart ill do this trick to my family show them that i can be "fit" lmao
Did you keep the weight off after that?
Azka Gul if you want to try to keep the weight off you have to stay in a calorie deficit so eat low calories and burn more than you eat so that you will continue to lose weight because if you just go back to your regular eating you will gain the weight back quick
@@azkagul4769 of course not, it was all water weight. a 4 hour marathon run can burn a pound of fat tho
me, a wrestler, laughing
Same😂😂😂
Facts
Same
Love you channel man! Undisputed greatest attitude!
Ive lost about 8 lbs on one of my night time longs run in FL during the summer, about 150 to about 142, though even after chugging like 2 L of water asap after I still got a very harsh dehydration feeling trying to sleep that night.
Look at Nick, so inspirational
Nick, how do you fall asleep at 8? When I try that, I just lay there until 10
You shouldn’t try to cut, you should just try to get stronger at the weight that you are now so that you can get that 500lb deadlift!
It’s up to him but after he should cut he is over weight tho
Idk but I feel like I move 10lbs throughout a day. Mornings I weigh a little under 180 and evenings I weigh 190 or close to that.
I run track and cross country and I've wanted too quit so many times in some races and u have helped me so much I think of your vids and I just push through thank you so much
For the first time next week I’m going to try to run the 800 in my meet. You inspired me to try it. Thanks!
just run it smart, the 800 is probably the most tactical race. good luck!
Don't go out too hard, otherwise you'll despise the 800
good luck!
Same here
Would be awesome to see a collab with you and Magnus Mitbo.
Suomi :D.
i cut 10lbs every week for wrestling
I cut 30 lbs every single morning to fit into my room.
Shit I need to change my profile pic to make these jokes
Facts im glad the season is over rn
But what do U win as a wrestler.
Best case U are ignored when in the olympics.
Worst case u get used up in fake wrestling.
In the middle of the road you roll around in sexual positions wearing skin tight leotard with a Creepy coach watching and telling u what positions he wants to see.
That’s extremely unhealthy and not something to brag about
@@loganw3298 we're not bragging about it and if you do it correctly it won't be harmful
I have the same scale. If I get on it three times in a row, it gives you 3 different weights. I varies up to 1lb each time.
MOST UNDERRATED TH-camR
You should add pole vault to the Nick Symmonds track classic!
I'm a marathon runner. Each race i took about 5 lb of water/banana during the race, and still come home about 10 lb lighter.
I lost 14 pounds on one workshift when I was 19 despite drinking some fluids. Working very hard in 110 degree temps.
Basically an average day for a high school wrestler.
I was waiting for the disclaimer because Nick is not the type of guy to promote this stuff😂😂
You kinda look like Michael C Hall aka Dexter, please work on a dexter impression lol
Great vid.
As a rower I had a hard time watching nick on the erg… handle over the knees before the legs break! 😛 great vid as always
We miss you dude but glad you doing good
I find with nomad fasting or multi day fasting the loss is quicker when drinking more water. From reading it seems because your body is working through even that water still, the extra trips to the bathroom also help 😊
Literally paused the video to comment…YOU GO TO BED AT 8pm?!?! There are days we aren’t even home from kids sports by 8! {incredibly jealous!}
I thought he would workout for 24 hours and drink something, but i didn't think it would be as bad as this
As the guys on Peaked Too Early have discussed, the heavyweight mile (200 pounds and up) seems like a fun challenge. If you got up to 200, what do you think you could run? And who else do you think would be good at it?
Guys run 100+ miles above 200 lbs... Nick bare, cameron hanes, david goggins to name a few
@@hellnawh3748 but how fast can they run a mile?
@@jasonrichwall7419 fastest 2 miles ive seen was 9 minutes dude was over 200 lbs ive seen fast fat guys ive seen fast short guys ive seen fast buff guys
nick never ceases to entertain us
Great video Nick!! 👍🏾👍🏾
All the wrestlers watching this video are like “only 10 pounds?”
You should run a marathon without training or do a long run with David Goggins.
As a runner/wrestler I love this😂
Btw it’s best for the trash bag to be on your skin
Love from the uk 🇬🇧 great inspiration. Wish I could come to the meets
Same here. We need a Nick in the UK to organise meets. Would be awesome if someone would do that.
This is So Awesome Nick Symmonde
Hey Nick, great work and awesome video!
The only human who clearly wins a bet and propose to call it a draw.
Could you do a quick video of warm ups to do before sprinting (and another for long distance if not the same). Thanks man

Very nice to see you Nick......❤️🔥💪🏻
8 pm, damn, we are usually eating dinner about that time.
Love the videos
i would enjoy seeing Nick the runner return
I really wish I could participate in the nick Symmonds track classic this year, but ofc he has to live in the U.S. gonna have fun watching it though
Was that Morray? On your way to the morning workout I heard Betty Crocker 😂
Cool video man 👏🏻😉
Me being a wrestler and doing this like daily 😂
That’s doesn’t sound healthy
I lose 5 to 7 pounds in the sauna every day (1.5 to 2 hours) but put it right back on drinking fluids in about 30 minutes. Not recommended, but I've been doing it for years and it works for me.
man, you're really getting good at this!
How his voice and energy changed when he drank that coffee lol
Track classic!! It's back!!
Really good one, nice job
So awesome that you’re based in Oregon! Had no idea you’re in my home state, love it! Spring time here in Bend though😂🤙
This guys says that’s a ‘big bison’ so damn egotistical, it pisses me off so damn much
Nice vid as always
Let’s go we getting the jumps and the throws
Hey Nick I’m a freshman in high school and I can run a 5:54 mile is that good?
I also did the pacer test and got 103 just to beat you lol
that is a GREAT mile time!! Keep up the great work.
Im in 8th grade and my mile is 6:26 ill probably be around your time by my freshman year
I've been trying to lose weight for awhile, this should help, thanks!
193lbs damn! That's big for a distance runner. And you're still doing sub -5 minute miles at that weight. Nice
Good work man, happy Easter
Love your videos 👍
as a d2 rower your form on the erg was a little scary i must say...but hey! i love your vids keep up the work!
He must not know about Highschool wrestles across the country😂
A few years ago I went to Key West, Florida for a triathlon. Oddly enough the hotel room I stayed in had bathroom scales.

Hey have a great Easter!
You too Sam!!!
Nick looking like the homeless Green Arrow on the rower at the end 😂😂😂
Finally found run gum at my local Walmart!! So pumped to try it!
a cool trick I used to cut extra water. around dinner drink about half a cup (measuring cup) of mounted Do. it gives you a small bit of energy and the caffeine is a diuretic and helps you pee when your cutting water and you're already dehydrated.
got to put that trash bag under the sweats
Noti gang!!!
Love the noti gang!!!
Nick, you are aware that drinking water makes your body hold on to water weight less. meaning you'll be going to the bathroom more the more water you drink, meaning if you stop drinking water you're actually likely to hold on to more water weight
You probably know this but celery is like a negative food meaning it takes more calories to digest it than it has
So ur saying I should eat celery all day instead of fasting
As a wrestler. This is my average day in life
wow... i should try this
*as i am eat a bag of easter candy*
Please add Metric units to your videos Aldo. Lots of viewers from europe! Keep the great Channel!
So if you’re a firefighter just do towers with gear and SCBA on for an hour. You’ll lose about 5 to 6 lbs of mostly water weight. During training burn days you’ll lose up to 12 lbs or more in less than 12 hours. Just depends on the heat.
Hey Nick can you do your best 800 meter speed workout soon? That you did for training for the Olympics. That would be great.
He did the video was made a few months ago
@@MattBald_SlickTop yea but like a new and updated one
You should make a video that you train someone or have a student under your wing and see their progress!
