Enemas by athletes

Awhile back I read or heard that jockeys sometimes take an enema or a series of enemas before a race to reduce their weight by a pound or two. Does anyone know if this is true? Also, are there other athletes who use enemas to get some sort of perceived advantage?

It doesn't make sense for jockeys because they get weighed before a race and have to carry extra weights when they race if they don't weigh enough. For wrestlers and boxers that have to meet a weight class, it might work.

I have herd of some people that weigh in and take an enema to get as little weight off as possible, and I also know that long distance as well as tri athletes will take enemas after the event because they are so dehydrated and constipated that they need them to help as well as just getting around the muscles are very weak from such distances

From REAL experiecnce at horse tracks as "bugboy",and exercise rider, I can tell you that a jockey don't make the weight limit, he don't get PAID. If an enema will do it damn bet they do. Walt

I dont know about Jockeys but it is true that a lot of swimmers take enemas before a meet.

When they have to make weight, athletes do so any way they can!!

Enemas, laxatives, diuretics, saunas, whatever it takes. You get that last pound off any way you can. After all, the money in it for them is so much more than they could ever make at a regular job, they are NOT going to throw it all away over a pound or two!!! Other than that, the rest is probably overactive imagination.

I know swimmers take enemas and some runners

I read in a cyclist magazine that some athletes take an enema the night before competition to flush toxins from the blood stream. I ride bicycle a lot. There is a marked difference in performance the next day.

I used to see a colon therapist in Chicago who had contracts with 3 professional sports teams. Many of the teams' members were regulars who claimed their performance and concentration was improved by her treatments. I know I always felt better, but that had to do with her OTHER enema services!

A colon therapist in NYC had a large following from the opera community. Apparently, many of the singers found that their breathing and energy was improved by a colonic before a performance.

Any help for bodybuilders.and fitness female competitors..any advice welcome..thanks

I find that a good series of enemas is very helpful as part of my post workout routine. I generally do them (no more than one or twice per month) after an intense workout. I think it is more psychological than performance enhancing. I like to feel as though it gets all of the toxins out, just like the sauna. Make sure to hydrate if you do them after a workout.

It does'nt matter whether you're an athlete or a logger because all my jobs were intensed labor for eight or twelve hours.You ate when you could and busted ass non stop.On my day off,it was time to unwind and get rid of the crap your body built up for the last four days.I would lay in a tub of hot water and hang the bag on the shower curtin rod and just take enema after enema until there was nothing left in me,then on the very last enema of the night,the bag would get a second filling while the first one was still in me.By the time two thirds of the second bag was pouring in me, a huge orgasm would make me shiver even in a hot tub of water.All I can say is WOW.

😉There are rumors that bret farve qb uses enemas too.Probably that,s why he is still playing pro ball at age 40?

Thanks gilinva for the information..we are eating every 2 hours small amount of food and we drink a lots .every week enema will b ok?

Call6 - I think if you are really training (athletically), an enema once a week is too much. I am sure there are those on this board that will say you can never get enough, but when doing hard training, you should be carefull. This board is fun, but exercise puts strain on all of the body systems and correct water and electrolyte balance is important.

Thanks a lot gilinva,that kind of information im looking for.we both of us me with my gf are training daily with big weights.we are trying to use enema for fun as well but at the moment we just wanna find out what is the best way to use enema for sport..cheers

I participate in extreme sports, and recently started with enemas. The feeling after finishing with an enema makes me want to get out and have an adrenaline rush. I feel so healthy before I even get exercise.

I wonder if high school wrestlers use enemas to make their weight go down.

I was just thinking about how many bags are in use at the athletes compound in Vancouver!

Now that is an interesting thought. The olympians using enemas before event. Never thought of it. I sometimes have enemas if I know I am not going to be able to go for example an overnight trek in the desert when it is easier not to go than look for a log or a rock to sit over. I wonder if there is any info on olympic enemas.

Although I could be totally off-base on this one, since I have no first hand knowledge of enema usage among atheletes, it's my suspicion that enemas are used far more by atheletes where a specific body weight range is a requirement to be able to compete in that weight catagory....i.e. boxing, ultimate fighting, etc. How popular enemas might be with skiiers and other atheletes for competition purposes, I have no idea. Maybe others on this site can enlighten.

There must be something to athletes using Enemas, or places like

Klystra wouldn't be selling the 5qt. "Olympic" bag..... 😁 LOL

Regarding Brett Favre and his use of enemas, I heard from someone in the sports field that it was true. He did (does?) take enemas, due to bouts of constipation brought on by his heavy use of painkillers. Poor baby. I hope he wasn't just using those damned little Fleet Enemas...they're all chemicals and, frankly, useless. A good two quarts of very warm soapy water from a bulging enema bag and a fat douche nozzle is what would do him the most good. And, oh, how I'd like to give it/them to him...over and over! lol

No No No No!!!!!!!! You guys are so stupid! Athletes don't use enemas! They just go.....not that hard. People have been doing it for centuries. Plus with an enema the whole screwing with your nutrition thing isn't worth losing a medal!

1: the thought of wrestlers at my school using enemas.....hot

2:swimmers don't use enemas. At least not competative swimmers. You need a carb load your body can slowly absorb eaten way before u swim and then quick burst from sugar....an enema would screw you up soooooo much. Maybe some do, but not most.

3:trust me I know; 7 years swimming competatively, 3 state championships, and 5 records in inland northwest swimming

Ballet dancers, both male and female, will use enemas before a production. With the tight leotard they wear it can and will show a distended colon, so an enema helps remove this problem.

Regarding Brett F. possible enema use. I am sure most of Wisc would stand in line to give him the biggest 4 H enema of his life. Wouldn't that be a great sports article?

While it's nice to consider a beautiful ballet dancer or figure skater taking an enema prior to a performance, I don't believe it's that common. As someone else said, you wouldn't want to be messing with any nutrition or electrolytes at that point. Plus, you wouldn't want to mess yourself, as an enema given before a big show could cause a little water/fecal matter to come out during it. Most likely, those people are just really in shape and toned in the abdominal area, and it doesn't have anything to do with an enema.

As a football jock in hi school I took an enema about 4 hrs before a game also took a hand full of vitamins at the same time drank water and as a qb I was able to move much faster and felt lighter on my feet, if I didn't have time to flush or forget to use an enema I felt slow and just not with it. So I know its not just me I was asked by the catch if I was sick one game when I didn't have time to flush the crap out I just told him I was not feeling well, so I know it was notable I was not up to par.

As a swimmer most of the team used suppotories before a meet to shed the extra weight.

Then on the football team in collage there a few of us players that used enemas a few hrs before the game we knew each other as the catch had a chat about things that would help us play better jockstraps was one and enemas too he told us how to when why to so the 6 or so of us knew the bennfits There was one player and friend of mine that did enema pre game so we gave each other them in the coatchs lounge with him knowing . I still use them before I go for a long run but not just around the block it has to be a long run with others like a race or so. I have been using enemas all of my 60ty years, I am a bit over weight but I feel grate and most folks never guess my age cause I look much younger than I am and know it from the fountain of youth that enemas are to blame yes the fountain of youth . Oh I don't have hi BP and my blood work HDL.LDL, AND OTHERS are good.

I just wish Brett Farve would shave his face now and then.

High school and college wrestlers frequently use enemas as a tool (pun intended) to lose a pound or two before weighing in. I don't know about other states but Michigan High School have banned the use of enemas for weight loss. I am sure that they still are being used though. I have always wondered if teammates actually enjoyed them. It was almost a locker room sin to discuss them even though many were using them.
