water

[dane3206]

hey guys how much water when on a cycle do you guys drink? also is it true the more you drink the less you hold ?

[J-Dogg]

The more water you run through your body, the less you retain. Keep the sodium low too. I bloat like a blueberry guy off Willy Wonka but it can be controlled. And don't drink if you have concerns with bloat.

I drink around 2 gallons a day.

Your urine should always be clear.

[dane3206]

i like a little water weight dont like too look silly tho so should i drink not as much?

[wackod2]

drink all you can really, youll be better off

A little is good, your joints function better and your muscles look fuller.

[MD22]

this isn't good bro, you can screw up your electrolyte balance and dilute your blood from slamming that much water, what do you do for a living that makes you drink this much?

[BrokenBricks]

There is a limit to how dilute your urine can become. You will excrete excess water, but you have to also excrete at a minimum 50 mOsm of solute with that water. If you are drinking many gallons of water a day you can become salt deficient and have seizures. One or two gallons is all anyone is likely to drink here. Yet if you are losing a lot of salt in your sweat, restricting your salt intake and then drinking 4-5 gallons of water (and some do) you are putting yourself in jeopardy of seizures.

very true.

I've actually seen this happen to someone who drank too much water.

pretty freaky actually.

i've never seen the seizures but i've seen someone drink water so fast they damaged their stomach and almost died

[Tigershark]

I drink over a gallon a day easy.

Thers no way.

[luxifer93]

^x2 five is pushing it

[Hazard]

I always try to get in 1 gallon. Sometimes 1.5...... usually no more than that. I've never had problems with bloat while on test.

~Haz~

[Immortal Soldier]

I don't drink water or liquids for that matter

[Hazard]

LOL - there's enough oil in your compounds to keep you from drying up

~Haz~

[MD22]

No joke. Wasn't aware it wasn't good.. It's not hard when you have a gallon jug. Job is strenuous so I tend to stop often for a drink, but when I drink I chug. No reason for me to bs. or make things up.. I'm here to give it advise but learn as well... & I just learned something.

[KeyserSoze1]

I drink 4-6 litres of water a day

[The Deuce]

GALLON or More....

I like this answer....2 gallons may be pushing it a little, but 1.5 would be perfect, IMO @ 16 oz per shot max. You gotta make sure you are drinking good, clean water...none of the city stuff...

[jfalco]

I hope this isn't true. This is actually can be dangerous. Look up hyponatremia. Mostly only long distance runners have to worry about it, but if you're in the habbit of chugging 5-10 gallons a day, you are a prime canidate. Your kidneys can process 15 liters a day of water, which is a shit ton, but 5 liters less than your 5 gallon minimum. Not to mention that it must be hard to eat with your gut busting full of water.

I have a lot of trouble believing you have ever drinken 10 gallons in a day.

The water that comes out of my tap is a clean as spring water, and I live in the city. Spring water is a waste of money and bad for the environment. If you're really concerned about water quality, buy a reverse osmosis machine. It will cost approximately 1/8 the price of sping water.

[Immortal Soldier]

LOL my water is kind of murkey and it comes out of my apartment.....I still drink it and am fine.

Water is water guys.....lol spring water you guys sound like a bunch of girls at the spa.

[Nitro29]

I dont think its possible to drink 5-10 gallons of water in one day. You would either die of water toxicity or your bladder would explode long before you drank 10 gallons.

[Paul_Best]

^ Agreed!

lol.

same here.

that's pretty fvking funny.

[Paul_Best]

I dont know if this is true but i have a buddy that drinks distilled water and says its beter for you? Anyone ever heard such a thing?

I thought it didnt have any minerals or cloride in it so i dont know how it could be any better.

it has no impurities, but it's not "better" for you, it can actually be bad for you in high amounts as it adds no electrolytes or minerals and thus can dilute blood concentrations of these things

[Paul_Best]

Thanks for clearing that up Bro. Makes since.

[Phate]

little piece of trivia, because of it's lack of impurities and electrolytes, you can get in a wooden bathtub full of water, throw in an electric wire and not be electrocuted as long as you don't touch the wire

the reason being that electric charge moves through ions in the water, for instance NaCl(salt) breaks up into Na+ and Cl- ions which conduct the current, but distilled water is vacant of these, so no conduction

Pardon mean if I don't try that at home.....and where the **** am I going to get a wooden bathtub? lol

i mean a jacuzzi or whatever, you could use a normal bathtub but you would have to bleach it really well, if it had deposits that could lead to a charge being conducted

don't worry, you don't have to try it, i already have, just on a smaller scale

most people played with dolls and action figures as kids, i played "let's make barbie's hair stand on end" and "shoot barbie to the moon"

Cremated or buried? Which do you prefer?

[Older lifter]

WOW, can't believe some of the answers here, you need to adjust to your body and you can do that by observing your urine, it should be very light in colour.
Do any of you remember that women who drank a lot of water for a compitition on the radio and died from it???
Judge it by your urine, we don't know your weight, body type or anything esle about you, so it is hard to give exact quota's on what you should drink

the problem about judging by your urine is, when do you do judge it? after you take a multivitamin it will be flourescent, how about if you take a multi 2x a day, when then? too many variables in there

If you can't make amendments for vitamins, then just follow the advice above then... I don't have problem with vitamins flush out
