Hey guys
So i have a problem sipping on a gallon a day i just can't seem to do it. the past few days i found a method where everywhere two hours i'll chugg a water bottle and ill easily get in a gallon that way. is there anything wrong with this method? i know i've read online somewhere that generally you shouldn't go on about doing it that way

offseason: 3-4 L + 300 ml BCAA/Glutamin Shake
diet: varying
I add flavored BCAA powder to a 1 liter bottle and drink 3 a day or at least try too. That gets me just under a gallon....plain water just gets old
Rosser01You can get sick if you drink to much water , especially if you are forcing yourself to do it. I myself drink like 2 16oz bottles every couple of hours.
On cycle I drink gallons a day and don't even think twice about it. It's part of how I know I'm getting good stuff, just like an increase in appetite. Just goes to show everybody's body is different.
if you cant do it, its for a reason!
you only need to drink water to hydrate sufficiently, so other than hydrating before bed for the night and rehydrating in the morning, you should drink as much water as needed only, and when needed
you may well be simply drinking too much to hit a quota??
I absolutely can not drink just plain water. I flavor it with BCAA's. Better off sipping throughout the day instead of just chugging a bottle all at once.
Rosser01Would drinking Gatorade in place of water be much of a difference or is it not as good for you as water..??
To many simple carbs for other than post workout. Insulin sensitivity would get to screwed up. The zero cal would be ok since the electrolytes would be beneficial. Coconut water would be ideal.
RustyhookerAdd flavoring and sipping it is easier. There's sugar free flavorings, squirty bottle flavors, lemon etc. I agree that plain water is boring
I know some guys/gals who love Crystal light and claim that's the only way they can get that much water down daily.
Instead of drinking water you should be sending people their packs
RustyhookerThe first message below was funny. Didnt need a second.
Rosser01Damn bro a bit harsh don't you think, at least he is on here and not hiding away lol
Take it to si dick head.
Sticking up for the people who are waiting on their packs. You can take my Karma, tell me what to do, sir yes sir, call me dickhead because you're a "vet" you have no right. Shows how society behaves when they're given a little bit of power.
There is a reason the si exist. Keeps the forums from clogging up with BS like this.
srt8calithanks! will try that. never thought about that
Rusty gave some solid advice as usual! You could also try flavoring your water with Emergen-C packets! You get essential nutrients, 7 B-Vitamins, electrolytes and antioxidants couch as Vitamin-C, magnesium and zinc! I use the Acai Berry flavor and it tastes great! I'll usually add one to my water bottle and drink it throughout my workout! Hope this helps brother!
The lemonade flavor emergen-c is pretty killer too if you haven't tried it I recommend it.
My wife bought, I believe was a tangerine flavor a while back! Both of us were disappointed!
We're sitting on 4 boxes of the berry flavor, but I will tell her to pick up a lemon flavor when we start running low! Thanks for the heads up brother! :))
RustyhookerExcellent thinking! Flavor and nutrition.
Mio has the green gatoraide flavor and the blue poweraide they have zero sugar and taste great added vitamins and minerals.
RustyhookerMio! I had brainfart....walmart had em on the cheap.
You have to buy them for bogo or 2 for 5$ because 5$ a piece is crazy
I try drinking a 16 oz bottle every 2-3 hours, I often down about half the bottle and then approx. 1 hr later I drink the rest.
You should send packs every two or 3 hours and only sip water when you get a positive review
Lmfao. That shit is funny. I damn near pissed myself after reading that
If it works for you go for it.
I drink my water from 16 oz bottles 8+ a day thats how I get my Gallon + a day
