If a guy were to compete...

[Joe Murphy]

...at raw powerlifting weighing 198, what would his day-to-day walking around weight be?

[Nick D'Agostino]

If competing with a 2 hour weigh in I would say no higher then 204.

Thankee, Nick!

If competing with a 2 hour weigh in I would say no higher then 204.

I'll ask the obvious follow-up - what about for a night-before weigh in?

[Sean Herbison]

I'm assuming you're asking for yourself, so I'd experiment a bit as well. Five or six pounds is a good general rule, but you may be able to get away with a bit more, or have to keep it a bit tighter. And obviously it changes if it's something other than a 2 hour weigh in.
