Q:  How much water should you drink during training?

A: No right answers here. I know guys who carry gallon jugs in to train and two hours later, they’re filling up at the fountain again. It is important to know how to drink while in the gym though. You shouldn’t drink between lifts, not individual sets. I would recommend that you drink between 36 and 48 oz of water if the weather has gotten warm and your gym is hot and stuffy. Or, if you’re in a heavy training cycle, while water may be the last thing you want, but you need it. You sweat more than average when you are training heavy. But that brings up a good point: Not everyone sweats at the same rate. You might only lightly perspire under most conditions. If you are taking AAS, you want to drink more water to flush your liver and system. You can sweat out toxins better while drinking. Also, when you’re training for a competition and dieting, you need to drink more too. If dieting, drink about 72 oz. of water daily - whether in the gym or not. Remember to moderate during training sessions so that you’re not running to the bathroom every other set.
