The Science of Cutting Weight in the Bath with John Connor

John Connor is the co-founder of the Irish Strength Institute, a prolific high-performance center in Dublin that has catered to many of the best Combat Sport Athletes the country has to offer.

John is currently completing a PhD at Dublin City University investigating the bathing protocols that are used by Mixed Martial Artists when they are cutting weight. To date, his research is the first to look at this in this population and is the first to outline a protocol that may be standardised to improve the safety of the practice.

This episode is a great listen for any athletes, coaches or practitioners who have athletes who use baths in order to make weight.
