Drinking Water
How much water should you drink per day?

Drinking water is very, very important to your weight lifting program and results. I don't want to get into all the small details here on this website because that's not what this website is all about.


This website is your complete guide to weight lifting and in order for your weight lifting program to be complete you must drink enough water. Most likely, that's going to be more water than your drinking right now. Increase your daily water intake starting today!

There's not going to be a specific amount of water for every single person that reads this. So, I am going to just give everyone a simple answer. Drink a gallon of water a day, and I mean only pure water.


Do not count your protein shakes or your orange juice or your milk. I want you to drink a gallon of water throughout the day of pure water. Counting all the other liquids you drink and this extra gallon of water, you should have plenty of fluids throughout the day. Don't underestimate the importance of water!

Well, why not? Drinking water is not hard to do! First step you need to take is to get rid of all those useless liquids you've been drinking. Cut out the cokes, diet cokes, sweet tea, fruit juices, energy drinks, coffee, and any other crap that you might be throwing in your body.


Drink pure and clean water instead! Doesn't that sound better? Just think about the gunk you put in your body. I can't drink any of those sugary drinks just because it feels like I'm dumping gunk into my body. It's like pouring sugar in your car's gas tank! Your engine doesn't want that! Think of your body as your engine that keeps you running.


In order to build muscle and lose fat, you need to give your body all the nutrients it needs to do so! Your daily water intake is no different. Your body needs water to function properly. Weightlifting and other exercise increases your body's demands for water.


With that said, increase your daily water intake and start building more muscle and losing more fat. Perform better in the gym with more water. Now, don't overdo the water intake. Follow the guidelines on this page!

When it comes down to it, you really can do anything you set your mind to do! I've seen it over and over throughout my lifetime. Now, this has to be within reason and you have to work hard to reach a lofty goal. Simply start drinking water. That's all there is to it!

After a while of nothing but drinking water, you'll start to love it and will want nothing else to drink but water. Water is my favorite beverage. Sometimes, at a restaurant, people will think that I just don't want to pay for a drink but those people just don't understand. I tell them that I like to drink water and they get this confused look on their face ???

Do you realize that most people in the United States probably never drink plain water? People act like they can't drink just water. It's amazing to me. Don't be one of those people. Water is the drink of a weight lifter!

I guarantee you'll save a ton of money by switching over to drinking only water. I don't think you realize how much money you could save. I bet you could put yourself through college just by not drinking all of those wasteful beverages that you drink everyday.

Let me tell you, those fruit juice drinks loaded with sugar are not what most people think they are. Most of them are like eating candy because they're not real fruit juices! So, stop buying fruit juices that are not real.


Most of the juices you drink are just piling those layers of fat around your belly. Stop fooling yourself. Substitute water for fruit juices. Eat fruit in your diet. You'll get more benefits when you actually eat fruit instead of relying on fruit juices.

Let's do a little calculation here. I love calculations so let me take care of the hard part. Let's say you drink 4 soft drinks per day just while you are at work. I'd say that's about right for most people. I am counting coffee from Starbucks or any other drink such as juice that you may drink in the morning.


Let's estimate that you drink another 2 glasses after you get home from work. Maybe a beer, a coke, or some wine. That is 6 drinks per day, which is horrible anyway because you need much more liquid than that.


6 drinks per day at around $1 per drink. This probably averages out just about right for most people that I know that drink soft drinks and other things. That comes out to about $2000 per year and this is probably a low estimate.


For those that buy drinks at restaurants, you spend much more than that! I've been there myself. A night out with friends can cost you up to $50 in drinks. Most people probably spend at least $3000 per year on drinks other than water.


You'll be healthier and have much more money in your pocket if you start replacing all those unhealthy drinks with water. Drinking water should be a top priority. If you'd like a little change with more health benefits, get yourself some green tea extract in powder form!
