Myth
Most sports teams will use this as an easy indication to see if an athlete is hydrated or not.
Myth
I spent time with the Brumbies/junior brumbies at the AIS and we were told that if we were not hydrated we would not train simple as that.
Again for a normal everyday person yes you could prob get a large % of your water intake from food and other fluids.
But AGAIN iam not talking about normal ppl - for an athlete I would say that an avg water intake would be anywhere from 3 - 6L per day - this isnt forcing ur intake either.
When I was training during summertime at the AIS sometimes I would drink upto 8L of water per day.
Nowdays I drink anywhere from 3-6L of water per day and that keeps my body hydrated.
Its a personal thing I think and upto the person to drink as much water as they feel they need - but def for a normal person not to drink enough water as I said can lead to medical problems.
Ok then we will have to agree to disagree - iam sorry but I have been around this for along time now I know what works and what doesnt.
Its stupid to say to anyone only drink when your thirsty. If your training is at this level then you should suggest X amount, if its at this level you should suggest this amount...its really that simple and has been used in bodybuilding and pretty much every single sport in the world for years n years n years.
So are you 2 getting married?

You have been around this for a while?? Did i read you are 23?? I'm sorry if I'm totally off the mark here.
By the way your not disagreeing with me. Your disagreeing with the medical literature.
Yea mate I have been training since I was 15, was at the AIS at 16, working in the industry since I was 17, opened my own gym at 21.
Just heard on the radio that the British medical journal released that there is no quality published evidence that an increased water intake is beneficial.
So just drink when your thirsty, no need to listen to the bro science and force yourself to drink massive amounts of water.
I read about that yesterday and thought this was interesting on smh: Eight glasses of water advice 'nonsense':
"Not only is there no scientific evidence that we need to drink that much, the recommendation could be harmful, both in precipitating potentially dangerous hyponatremia and exposure to pollutants."
So he claims that too much water can even be harmful. I used to try to force down water, but now I just drink when I'm thirsty. But even so, I usually drink 2-3L a day.
However, that study aside, is the advice of just listen to your body always best? What about for people who have no desire to drink any water during the day at all? For many fat people, who are always hungry, listening to their body telling them to eat all the time, is not the best idea for example...

Shit. so now your saying squats deadlifts and milk get you nowhere????
Have you had a stroke.
If you train squats/deadlift/bench solely, there will be some major muscle imbalances. Thats where you base your program around those 3 or movements similar to it and add in accessory work (e.g. squat/rdl/leg ext/calves).
Agreed?
In the long run no, you need more as an athlete than just fucking squats/deadlifts and milk.
the squat 3 times a week to get big biceps left months ago to another forum.
