How much water do I need?

[sldklr]

hello guys, I've noticed a really strange difference. ever since school started and I began to drink less water on days that I train. My measurements went down and its bad I think water helps in gaining weight but how much do I really need in a day????? help

[mgftp]

They say a gallon. I mean you don't "need" it to survive but it's good for you too.

Aim for 2 litres. You should note that you'll get dehydrated by working out/cardio so you should be aiming for more.

[acke1337]

One gallon is enough tbh

[threllum1]

1-2 gallons

[grindyourmind]

1 gallon is plenty. The more (cold) water you consume throughout the day, the more additional calories you burn (up to about 160-200) because of your increased metabolic rate.

[Serge844]

A normal person ( somebody who doesn't train ) should drink at least 2L of water per day to stay hydrated. As a bodybuilder, you should drink at least 3L to a gallon (3.8L). Two gallons may be a little too much. Even if you don't feel thirsty, drink drink drink! My last football coach told me when you are thirsty, that means you're already dehydrated.

Hope it helps!

thanks for the info but should I drink water throughout the day or can I just drink up a gallon in just a certain time of the day??

[BBNobu]

I drink about 2-3 gallons a day.

Drink it throughout the day OP, you'll feel sick if you drink loads of water at one time.

Good advice, Just get yourself a decent sized water bottle and focus on sipping on it throughout the day. Refill as many times as you need to reach atleast 1 gallon.

To add to that OP, you can check the bb.com store and pick up the 2L jug they have. People sometimes look at you funny when you have such a large water bottle but it's much more convenient. Drink it, fill it up once and you've drank your gallon for the day

lol, people still carry around their gallon of water with them? wut is this 1990s scienceless bodybuilding all over again?

[jmorre]

Half your body weight in oz

I just started to bring a jug with me when I'm not at home and I keep sipping through out the day. I don't get that dry throat feeling anymore hehe. I'll check if this would boost my gains well hehe

[Twyst]

from what I hear:

60% - 85% of your body weight in oz a day.

[TrojanGod]

I try to get in 1 gallon minimum, 1.5-2 gallons when on Creatine though.

[Sprite11]

1 gallon no excuses op

Is it bad for you if you drink too much water 2 ,3 galllons a day or more?

[akatric]

If your pee is anything but a clear/very light yellow color then you aren't drinking enough water

2 gallons is the max you go for 3 your pushin it

[pazzadean]

1 gallon is enough

[JasonSoon]

Make sure to stay hydrated, I remember waking up one day with my throat parched and lips all dried up, so I just drank a small glass

I went to the gym that day and felt like CRAP

Drink plenty of water, even sometimes when you don't feel too thirsty.

HYDRATE !
