Water Consumption.

I know the Classic 8 oz of water 8 times a day is the rule of thumb but this is kind of cookie cutter. A 6'4 230 male is going to need more water than a 5'6 Female who weighs 145 lbs. A better way of measuring your water for proper Hydration is half of your body weight in oz of water.

So someone who weighs 200 lbs should drink 100 oz of water in a day. This however does not include the water you loose through sweat when you workout.  If you want to get really picky on this you can weigh yourself before and after you workout, the difference in weight is what you need to drink in addition. So if you are 1 pound lighter at the end of a workout you would need an additional 16 oz of water.

so Drink up and Train Hard my Friends..
