"Training Tip of the Week"........................

[mr. snakes]

With summer coming and the weather getting hotter it is extremely important to make sure that you are drinking enough water to keep you hydrated.

If you are underhydrated, you are not providing your body with an ideal environment for muscular growth and, in fact, your muscles will appear flatter and smaller, and your strength will be affected.

Recommendations: Bodybuilders should drink at least one gallon of water a day. Strive to drink about 16 ounces (oz) of water 20 minutes or so before a workout -- and at least 5-10 oz every 15 minutes during -- to increase your blood volume and muscle pumps.

Strategies: Drink water several times throughout the day, especially between meals. Carry a bottle with you and drink from it throughout the day as you work, travel, train, etc.

I'm sorry but I just have to laugh when i'm reading your threads.

Most seem common sense to me at least, and should be well known to most here.

People usually start threads with a purpose. Yours seems to be to inform I assume.

Just odd to me though.

this has got to be a joke.

for the hell of it: every one of us, regardless of size can predetermine water needs by assuming one liter for 20kg of bodyweight. Oh, and carry some with you if its hot out... LMAO!

Well of course, Mr.Snakes! Anyone who doesn't become thirsty after an intense work-out isn't known to be human.

But thanks for the tip.
