How important is water to gains? I rarely drink by one of my gym buddies chugs almost a gallon a day. He says you need it to build muscle. Truth or fiction?

Gunna throw out some broscience.
Humans are 80% water
How build more human without water?
very important, chug it bb
>>36577228
Not important. It's a myth
>>36577228
IDK, but it helps with everything like metabolism and your body's ability to move nutrients around.
I started drinking a lot of water to avoids cramps in the gym.
On a cut, I also use it to avoid hunger.

Nigga it's bullshit, just drink diet coke and chocolate milk.
drinking over 2l of water in a day will cause the cell membranes of your muscles to become too think to facilitate the transfer of water between, leading to loss of strength during workouts. Only do this if you want to tone them.
try drinking no water on a workout day, It'll harden the cell membranes to their maximum capacity. If you absolutely need moisture, bring a box of kleenex, wipe your sweat with one, and then eat it, in order to get the electrolytes back into circulation.

Not sure if you need it to build gains but you have 60% more muscle strength if you are properly hydrated I read in a study once. So drink between sets.

Don't listen to this faggot.
He's trying to meme you.

Yeah I can tell. Cell membranes are made of lipids. Water doesn't have shit to do with it. Porosity is rigidly controlled via transporter symporter proteins. Loss of membrane integrity is synonymous with cell death.
Unfortunately it seems everyone here is as split on the question as my friend and I are. I'll probably drink more to be safe I guess.

Water in high amount is toxic. Do not drink more than 1-2 litre a day. I usually just drink coffee.

>I usually drink just coffee
>I usually drink just a diuretic
Just.
>>36577831
Hahah fuck i would love to see some mongoloid eat sweaty tissues in the gym. That would fucking make my day
>>36577954
Tbf coffee is also a beverage containing a quantity of water. It's not always the case that a diuretic drug will cause excretion of more water than the beverage contained.

This. I sometimes go on a water cleanse and only drink mercury for a week to flush out any water toxins.
>>36577831
kek
>>36577228
I need to be fully hydrated before and during a workout, otherwise I get severe headaches. Depends on the person probably.

Drink protein, not water. Leave humanity behind.
