[dasicvtec]

hi there

ive been into bbing on and off...never realyl doing all that much weights (in general) and have become somewhat lazy since i stopped 'working out' 6 montha ago, and i jsut signed to the gym and wanna start losing weight and looking better

now just some simple question's about water

how much am i meant to drink in a day ?

ive heard 4-5 litres is the norm when doing weights...i believe when i worked out i was only taking in 3 litres or so and other factors made me less motivated which made me quit...anyway ..

how much water ( is reccomended ) are you meant to drink each time you go for one ? hopefully u understand where im coming from ?

like i know i should restrict myself with drink 400ml every 1 hr...but just give me an estimate

your help would be much appreciated...thanks alot

4-5 liters a day is the norm? Hell, I drink double that a day. I can easily down 8+L a day

to simply answer it, as much as possible(have some sense I don't mean 20 gallons a day you'de die from loosing too many electrolytes.).

Drink atleast one gallon a day. Spread it out through the hours. You should be fine with that.

also, how much water should i bring into the weights room when working out

i remember taking in a 1.5l bottle and being able to finish that off, over the course of the workout (around 1 hr)

Drink about 4-5 litres a day. 6 maxium, depending on levels of activity & diet. On non training days I drink 4-5 litres, & the same on training days. Too much water can be dangerouse, so be wise & stick to the recomendations.

Just drink the stuff as much as you can, your going to be hard pushed to drink too much, its not like supps or creatine or anythin so drink away.
