let’s talk water!

[weirusi]

I'm wondering how many of you on here who train just about on a daily basis are drinking a ton of water. You hear from people that you're supposed to drink a certain amount. I think for a normal person they say you're supposed to drink half a gallon but for an athlete it's more like a gallon total. Be honest, how much water are you drinking a day on average?

 

[Mr-cable]

Tracked my fluids a few days ago and got 5.8 litres from memory. That was with me consciously reducing intake later in the day so that im not up pissing all night haha

 

[abolone]

5L a day on average
I think a general rule of thumb is 1ml of water per gram of daily calories
Ie 5000cal diet youll drink 5L
Obviously climate comes into play also, just a general rule of thumb

When it comes to water, I would say it depends on what kind of climate you live in. If you live in a hot and humid climate, you are going to need more water.

Also depends on the exercise that you're doing. If you're sweating a lot and you're doing a lot of cardio, I would definitely increase the water.

Bros, the standard is going to be half a gallon a day, I think. If you're a big bodybuilder though, you're going to need closer to a gallon.

4-7lt daily. Middle of summer, I will put away up to 10lt. I have a physical job, outside in the elements though.

I like to sip on some water while I'm training. You don't want to drink too much though. You don't want your belly full.

I'm a huge fan of water consumption but I would add some electrolytes to it as well. It's important to stay hydrated if you're sweating a lot.
