Losing Weight for a Meet

I have to cut about 10lbs for a meet in roughly 5 weeks. Would you suggest slowly losing the weight over that time or training with the extra weight and trying something like a water cut the week of?

I suggest NOT cutting weight unless there are records at stake.

However, if you insist on cutting weight, a this point you may be able to make it.

I suggest a slight caloric deficit and some additional low stress cardio.

How much do you weigh?
And what class are you trying to get into and why?

I’m around 174lbs. Weight class is 165lb. Feel like I would be better there than bulking for 181lb class.
