how much water do we need?

[Zuikqero]

I wanted to know how much water do we actually need as bodybuilders and weightlifters
I’ve seen a lot of people say that you need a half a gallon others have said you need a gallon and some people actually claim to drink two gallons of water especially big bodybuilders
what is the reality and how much do you personally drink every day?

 

[stevesmi]

it depends on many factors

if you sweat a lot you need more.
if you fast a lot you need more

if you eat a lot of fruits and veggies you need less

i would get 1 gallon of water per day like clockwork

Theres no set answer. Input is affected by output. The more exercise you do and more active you are the more water you need

It moderates according to circumstances. More when hot.

If you live in a mild climate you need a lot less water than people think

[Quadsweep]

the way the planet keeps getting hotter and hotter you're going to need more and more water
