I used to drink water while I worked out. Now, I only do it before and after my workouts. A friend of mine told me that it's not good to drink water in the middle of lifting. I would like to hear people's opinion's on this...

You gonna die if you drink it.

Hes being sarcastic...

It is good to drink water, especially if you sweat a lot. Sometimes I drink a lot, sometimes I dont. Basically if your thirsty, DRINK!

I have some water with me at ALL times, especially during workout.

I say drink as much water you possibly can without feeling sick when you start to lift again. Even if youre not thirsty.

water is good but not gatorade cause it doesn't feel good to lift right after you drink some.

Why do you think that gatorade is bad ?

Here, here. I've said that for years, but everyone thinks i'm crazy. Gatorade might replenish your electrolytes, but I almost feel like it drains me. So I only use it to mix vodka with

Use powerade

Me and workout partners swear by it

I take a drink of water between almost every set.

That´s weird. Probably it is just psychological.

Hey deeznuts...
you dont happen to know a John Deez do you?
age 16?

I drink on average while lifting 3 liters of water sometimes more.

Posted by: titans1854

it might be the calories in gatorade or something that makes me feel bad. it's probably like eating in between sets. water is good because it doesn't fill me up as much as gatorade or powerade.

drink water, water for the muscles is like breathing oxygen for your lungs

I too drink water after every set from the water fountain. The only think that sucks is sometimes during a great workout I have to stop in between sets to walk downstairs and use the restroom. Hate that.

I usually drink water, but especially after squats or deads, when I feel like I'm going to pass out.

I go thru half of my daily gallon of water in my 45-60 min. workout...It is very hot in my gym!...BTW, Greekblondchic's picture is Nice!

It's the sodium. Gatorade is not that good for you really.

yeap just like everyone else drink it all the time, especially when working out

Posted by: squanto

i actually used to not drink while working out intensely. but now i drink a bit and it helps me relax.

Posted by: Deeznuts

Bleh...well I hate the stuff

If I want some extra energy before a workout i'll drink a Red Bull.

I sweat like a fat pig in the middle of the Sahara. It's a good thing I asked this question. I may have continued not to drink water during my workout, and I definitely prefer drinking during workouts. I couldn't come up with any kind of logical reason why water drinking would be bad during a workout, but I thought there was a scientific reason behind it. I used to drink 1-2 liters during a good workout. I think I will continue that trend once again. Thanks.
