I drink a lot of water before and though out my lifting days but I don't drink any water at all during my lifting sessions I've heard that it's not good something like it reducexs the blood that can go into the muscle or something but hydrating your body should make you stronger? The other day I had a drink of water before 3RM with a weight I've done before for 2 and could only get 1 Rep.... So what your verdict on water during lifting?

Drink when thirsty and you will be fine.
Short cuts to success are often paved with lies.
1/13/16: Massive hernia.
5/10/16: Finally back to lifting, light but improving.

Or you could just turn on the TV and watch any sporting event to see athletes drinking water/gatorade during their bouts. But i mean hey they're only at the pinnacle of their respective sports, being paid thousands if not millions of dollars to be elite. But i'm sure you should just go ahead and not drink any water during your lifting bout bc some random bro told you not to. Makes sense.

I drink about 10-12oz as part of my pre-workout drink and I'm not thirsty during.
After a shower, I eat breakfast and drink another 10-12 oz as part of my post workout recovery drink.
Plus a cup of coffee.
Even when I'm doing HIIT and losing about 1-2 lbs of water weight over 25-30 mins I'm not thirsty during.-dennis

I used to have a home gym setup. Kept the apartment at like 68 so I never got thirsty during workout, which was also only really 30-45 minutes. No sweat plus I'd chug the protein shake right after so I liked being a little more thirsty. I never got thirsty during that.
I just started working out at an actual gym that I just swear turns the AC completely off and its gotta be like 80 in there. After my first set of 5 squat reps my shirt is soaked. By the time im halfway through ive had to towel off like 10-15 times and start to get thirsty so I just started bringing a little bit of water. Probably doesnt make a big difference either way just listen to your body.
