Personal What's the longest you have gone without showering?

[Wild]

I love them...A thing I hated though was a weight cutting technique where you use hottest water possible,Epsom salt and a bunch of menthol alcohol..Ryan Diaz was cutting with me and said he had done it and said it helped..idk the science behind it..All I know is when you're dilerious and on death door step of dehydration you'll try anything....I was desperate to get the last 4 pounds off after I took a fight @165 and I weighed 183 on two days notice...I don't know if that's reason I made wright but I fkn hated it..my balls felt like they were chewing Winter Fresh gum and I was MISERABLE...But just regular Epsom salt baths are so relaxing and it loosens my body up and you feel amazing afterwards...draws toxins out, if I'm not mistaken...

Looks like I'm going to be trying some Epsom baths soon. Ty kindly for the info sir.

And I have never cut weight like that before, so I cant imagine how miserable it is man. I cant believe people can take themselves to the brink of organ failure, and then fight 24 hours later. When you cut like that, do you feel 100% by fight time, after you've rehydrated? Or do you still feel kinda messed up?

 

[Wild]

this just sounds like poor planning, honestly.

Probably. And not giving a fuck.

There are days where I may shower 3-4 times lol. Like when I wake up, that's one. Then ihit the gym in the morning, that's two. Then work in the yard later, that's three. Then before I go to bed. Showers are my thing.

When I take 2 showers in a day I always think to myself "You've already done this".

If I know I'm going to get nasty during the day, I don't bother showering in the morning. Camping, yard work, cabrewing. Fuck it. Showering in the morning of a day where you know you are going to get dirty is like wiping your ass before you shit.

I admit this is fucked up, but my mom used to count swimming in the pool as showering when I was a kid. She'd make me shower in the morning before school, but during the summer all bets were off. If I went swimming at least every other day she didn't bitch at me to take a shower. I guarantee you I went over a month without showering. Even as a kid I gave no fucks. Haha.

As an adult, my longest is probably about 10 days while getting my nature on.

Man that's bad a friend of mine confided once that he hadn't showered for 3 weeks..he said it was over August...as his homeplace was on an island I just don't understand it. I can barely stand saltwater drying on me..how the fuck is that possible?!

Pool can be pretty bad, especially cos people pee there and there's no escape.

You always struck me as a candle lit, bubble bath type.

Yeah its stupid really..but when your young and wild it seems the norm, oddly...I definitely didn't feel 100% sometimes..The cut plus traveling all over gods green earth promoting kotc and EliteXC while training definitely wore me out...I was fighting 8x times a yr for few years on end...it was hard for me to maintain a diet on the road constantly as well...I would get to a town...train at the local best gym..shower,eat then hit the clubs and strip joints all night promoting the event..it sounds glamourous but after it being a constant thing it catches up to you..

BUt I was blessed to have a good gig making 500-750 a week promoting on top of my fight purse and lived free in hotels and never had buy food.I had a hell of a run and never would change a thing...got to meet a lot if great ppl and see a lot...but being a fighter a total lifestyle that not many could or would want to pursue if they knew all what comes with it..but Hey at least I got all you TMMACers cuz of my choice to skip wrestling after HS and choose to do this Crazy but great sport of MMA..

Yeah man I can imagine not feeling right the next day, no matter how much you rehydrate.

Did you get really bad headaches when you cut weight?

Epsom baths are amazing. Help me with recovery, joint/arthritis problems. Also good for the skin. Taken at night time, I sleep like a baby, helps you relax.

 

[Yossarian]

Probably a week, after militairy training. Coming back to base all muddy and cold, an even colder shower was the only thing to clean oneself with. But never had a better shower.

Bad headaches,organs cramping,hands cramp up,light headed,weak,and so thirsty

 

[Jesus X]

One week. I also had to shower with cold water for two weeks when my heater stopped working luckily it was summer so it wasn't too bad.

 

[BrunoMcGyver]

No more than 2 days, though if im not going out anywhere special or to work i will regularly just shower every 2 days. Went to India for a 6.week holiday back in 08 and only had one warm shower though...most other times it was cold water in a bucket lol

My buddy's uncle has about 100 acres with a large stream on it. Total redneck. I think of myself as such, but I wasn't close to Uncle Kenny. When we showed up, he usually had a 4 - 6 foot pile of wood, splash gasoline on it, followed by a road flare, and something like "that's the one fire I light for you kids".

Anyways, we brought garbage bags to shower with. We'd fill them in the stream, they were fucking heavy. Then we'd tie them up and lift them on a branch. Then poke them with a fork to create a shower.

Some of the chick's wore bathing suits. Most didnt. It was a great time to be alive.

 

[Mix6APlix]

We had to.drive about 30 minutes to get more booze. After the 3rd day, we come in returning 1 keg and getting another, and the lady behind the counter says "Surprised you boys are still standing", and gave us a nod of approval.

Uncle Kenny also made his own peppermint schnapps, or as we called it "candy cane moonshine". It was not to be trifled with. That shit had to be 120 proof, at least.

3 weeks, deployed in the military. Living in a tent, traipsing all over someone else's country.

but the worst was the 2 weeks where I worked a shift that was 24hrs On/12 hrs Off. Shower available, no desire to take a shower. I took maybe 2 quick showers in that two weeks.
