How Much Water Should You Drink Per Day? by Marc David

I’m always amazed at how many people seem to know the answer to

this question yet in practice they fail. Everybody I’ve talked to

seems to know that 8-12 glasses of water a day is the recommended

standard. But if I ask them how many glasses of water have you

consumed today? The answer is usually none. Or the other standard

answer at a corporate environment “does coffee count?”

While 8-12 glasses of water is great for the average sedentary

person, many of us are fitness conscious or on the pursuit of some

type of bodybuilding physique. With that in mind, I think the new

standard for us should be 1-2 gallons of water a day.

As a bodybuilder, you are putting much more nutrients, food,

supplements, and other stuff into your body. What your body does

not use, it must rid itself of by any means necessary. Usually it

does this via water. So drinking plenty of water becomes a

necessity. Increasing protein puts a strain on your body and

drinking lots of water can keep things “moving.” Creatine

monohydrate supplementation requires a lot of water. Creatine is

all about cell volumization. Making sure your cells are completely

hydrated helps with the volumization process. NO2, a hemodilator,

requires water. Many other supplements require water as a transport

and a flushing method.
