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...
 
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!
 
yep - i drink. partly b/c i get thirsty and partly b/c it gives me something to do between exercises.
 
im with nikegurl, actually i feel very displaced and confused if I dont have my trusty water bottle
 
I have some water with me at ALL times, especially during workout. :thumb:
 
I say drink as much water you possibly can without feeling sick when you start to lift again. Even if youre not thirsty.
 
i dont understand how it could pose a problem... cant get enough h2o

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 ? :confused:

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

Lift, drink, and be merry :grin:
 
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!:eyebrow: :yes:

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
 
i actually used to not drink while working out intensely. but now i drink a bit and it helps me relax.
 
Bleh...well I hate the stuff :p 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.
