the validity is he was stating you need a greater water intake in general.. granted his amount is too linear just as your responses were too specific as well.. 3-5 liters? .. so you know on heavy training days a person will perspire 2 extra liters from their training session? ... see.. i can poke holes your advice as well.. but from years of experience and coming to the realization that everyone is different and there are so many variables out there- i try to give advice that a person can utilize to MONITOR THEIR SELF.. in lou of a Drink X amount Checklist.. if your urine is a light yellow/clear.. then you need greater water intake.. if your taking (insert anything here) that can cause a color change in ones urine then they should notice that off the bat and as well as the need for greater water intake.

there is NO set amount..
time release vits discolour for alot of toilets trips, as i said 3-5ltrs is a good solid guideline which doesnt leave much margin of error, has worked well for me and clients ive personal trained. your not the only one with years of experience mate, im speaking from 17yrs experience and third level education in sport science.
