Water consumption

How much water do you consume during your workout?  I easily down 60 oz.

not much. Go to the water fountain and take a sip probably after each set. More just out of habit really.
No doubt about it...

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

I carry a bottle with me and fill it about 3 times during the workout and once for the trip home. I also drink from the fountain...


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...

I do that too, it's weird.  I mean between every single set...  :o

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.

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.

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.
