Title: Water consumption
Post by: calfzilla on March 18, 2010, 11:28:48 PM: How much water do you consume during your workout? I easily down 60 oz.

I used to do that but no more. Ever since I carry a water bottle I have a lot more energy during my workouts. :o

Lots and lots of water throughout- no matter what the weather. It fuels my next set and recovers me from my last. Any issues with dehydration and my energy plummets downward...

Post by: tbombz on March 19, 2010, 10:49:01 AM: if i drink too much i get lazy and feel full.

i take very small sips maybe every 5-10 minutes.

at the very end of the workout ill down a whole bottle, refill it and drink that on the way home.

Post by: JasonH on March 21, 2010, 10:45:35 AM: Just sip it when you need it - no need to down gallons of the stuff.

When training I only drink if my mouth/throat is dry or needs cooling, not necessarilty because I'm thirsty - I estimate I probably only drink about 15-20oz during a workout.

Post by: dyslexic on March 21, 2010, 08:26:12 PM: I drink water because I'm thirsty. No other reason. I don't force-feed it to myself, I can just feel it being used and expired during and after every set.

Crazy.
