How much water should I be drinking everyday

stupid question for you guys i guess but i would like to know

i would drink at least a gallon

.66 times your bodyweight (ounces) 5 clear pees a day (at least)

Socrates .66 times your bodyweight (ounces) 5 clear pees a day (at least) all i would be doing all day is drinking water!

drink drink! i love water but i hate having to pee all the time.

but i know i drink about 1 1/2 gal a day

nic379 all i would be doing all day is drinking water! No it really isn't as hard as you think. While you are at home at night, just keep sipping on some ice water, drink drink drink, but not too fast to where you will feel like you are getting really full (of water...). When I do it, I piss about once every 45-50 minutes. Fun to watch it clear out your system .

AmCo drink drink! i love water but i hate having to pee all the time. sometimes i piss a couple times a hour, but i just love it so much

When I do it, I piss about once every 45-50 minutes. Fun to watch it clear out your system . well i know that I of all people should be drinking alot of water because I get kidney infections all the time. i never drank alot of water when i was younger..just juice and koolaid and such. i had major kidney surgery when i was 3..so why my mom didnt make me drink gallons of water is beyond me...but o well. so now when i drink alot of water..it makes me nauseated. is that weird? i'm up to about 60-80 ounces of water a day...which is much better than the 20 i was getting

A gallon.

drink lots of water every meal, depending on your activity level and shit will vary. I take 32oz a meal @ 9 meals a day

5 clear urinations a day at min, 2 of them post workout

i drink a lot my pee is clear

I drank 2 gallons in about 6 hours while at work yesterday just for fun. I peed 5 times an hour.

you guys know that you can drink TOO much water right? If you overhydrate yourself you can die I believe.

I know that I don't drink enough.. it's the last component of cutting that I am trying to wrangle.

64oz a day

nic379 you guys know that you can drink TOO much water right? If you overhydrate yourself you can die I believe. you need to drink ALOT of water to do that, torture/drugs is the only way i see it happening.

nic379 you guys know that you can drink TOO much water right? If you overhydrate yourself you can die I believe. yeah... but you hafta drink and undrinkable amount of water to overhydrate

I follow the "8 glasses minumum" rule. I keep my water bottle with me at all times (almost, i'm still a little forgetful). it makes it a ton easier to drink the water if it's right there all the time. GND taught me a neat trick- put a few drops of lemon juice in the water to give it a little flavor. I just drink refrigerated tap water so it helps a lot.

nic379 you guys know that you can drink TOO much water right? If you overhydrate yourself you can die I believe. true story had a breifing on that when i was in the army

, i'm going to go get a glass of it right now.

nic379 you guys know that you can drink TOO much water right? If you overhydrate yourself you can die I believe. The problem is in the mineral content. It is possible to flush out your system of valuable vitamins/minerals. One of the symptoms is a craving for more, believe it or not, water! The type of water we drink directly affects us. Dehydration can reduce athletic performance and lead to fatigue, and it is vital for those who are exercising to drink enough water. A general rule is to drink twice as much water as is necessary to quench thirst. Exercise also increases needs for electrolytes, sodium, chloride and potassium. Magnesium and calcium needs may also be greater. You said you feel nauseated when you drink water? Are you on any meds?

I was on a decongestant a week ago...but it's been making me nauseated for years. I sucked it up though and this last 2 weeks, I've been drinking alot of water..and I love it now. It sucks that my tap water is kinda nasty, and i can't afford enough bottles...but I just keep making myself drink the tap water becaue it's better than none.

tize 5 clear pees and 1 wet shit i don't shit everyday. That's only normal for some people..not everyone. O wait..I'm a girl, I never shit

Increasing vertical leap?

Increasing vertical leap?

Hey guys I'm kind of new here sorry if this thread has been done before. But what kind of thinks can I do to increase my jumping height/ability? Do you guys know of any exercises?

white men can't jump.

actually, i can't think of any, but would assume anything that strengthens the hamstrings and calves would help.

Ilyusha Read this: http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=459426 I can vouch for this program. 50-rep squats are killer!! They'll make a man out of you In the several weeks I've been doing them (in addition to plyometric routines), I've put a good 2 inches on my jump.

Deadlifts, squats, good mornings, glute ham raises. You dont need anything other than that

KLoWnPR109 Deadlifts, squats, good mornings, glute ham raises. You dont need anything other than that

Ceaze any reason for that face?

KLoWnPR109 any reason for that face? Yeah, those exercises only cover limit strength, you have to train explosive strength as well. And the snatch is the the weightroom exercise with the highest correlation to vertical jump.

hardcore deadlifts, squats. raised mine from 36ish to what had to be over 40" in a few months

Ceaze Yeah, those exercises only cover limit strength, you have to train explosive strength as well. And the snatch is the the weightroom exercise with the highest correlation to vertical jump. I've actually never seen much results from anything other than those exercises that I listed above. Never done cleans though. I've always felt that I've been doing them wrong and have never really found anyone to show me how to do them properly. Plyometrics never did anything but hurt my knees.

all through yo' body..blows like a 12 gauge shotty

AmCo polymetrics? Plyometrics: exercises that help develop quickness, agility, and vertical leap. In other words, exercises that mainly work your fast fibers.

Jumpsoles!

Ceaze Yeah, those exercises only cover limit strength, you have to train explosive strength as well. And the snatch is the the weightroom exercise with the highest correlation to vertical jump. you can train squat and deads with explosive strength

When you do leg work (Squats, leg press, calf raises, etc.) do it with explosion.

What kind of ab exercises do you guys do to strengthen your core? I don't know much about abs because I haven't done them ever until a month or so ago, but all I do is decline crunches, knee raises, and some weighted machine crunches. My abs are relatively week, so maybe some of the advanced exercises, like dragon flairs, aren't for me. What do you guys recommend?

im no pl'er but i can tell you that ab wheels, leg raises, cable crunches, and side bends have worked well for me

i do hanging leg lifts & dragon flages as a staple warmup. i do rocky style situps with punching at the top. but my core ab movements are weighed situps & weighed ab extentions.

Is the BodyFat Measurement on my Home Scale accurate?

Is the BodyFat Measurement on my Home Scale accurate?

I got a 50 dollar digital scale. it is one of those good kinds, the multi-cell technology.. anyways it has a BF measurement function and i was wondering if it is accurate. Does it measure my bodyfat by sending electronic pulses through my body or something?

No. Yes.

If it asks for your height, it's measuring it by BMI.

No, they aren't accurate at all. You might as well be using an online BF% calculator. There are too many changing variables to accurately check BF% through any type of electrical pulses. It can give you a decent ball-park figure, but I've heard they can be off by more than 15% sometimes.

Ilyusha If it asks for your height, it's measuring it by BMI. it asks for my height, age, and sex. if its measuring by BMI is that accurate or not? if thats not accurate what is an accurate way to measure my bodyfat?

I've been told by those things that I'm around 25%

damn if only i knew that earlier i wouldnt have wasted money on getting one with this feature.

RLiu818 it asks for my height, age, and sex. if its measuring by BMI is that accurate or not? if thats not accurate what is an accurate way to measure my bodyfat? multi-point caliper test, bare minimum

RLiu818 it asks for my height, age, and sex. if its measuring by BMI is that accurate or not? if thats not accurate what is an accurate way to measure my bodyfat? BMI is okay for deciding if you really need to workout/diet in the first place. To get your BF% checked, go to your gym and have a PT do a caliper test. It's still not 100% accurate, but it'll give you an idea of what it is and will also give you something to judge your progress better than just your weight. If you want a very accurate reading you can get some sort of liquid displacement test at a hospital. I hear they're expensive, though.

jump on your BF scale right after you wake in the morning, even if the % is off, those scales are supposed to be consistent. So you can note change if your going up or down. But you cant compare if you use the scale like in the morning one day and then after a big meal another day, etc

I need to gain weight

I need to gain weight

hey everyone. I currently play High school baseball and Im a catcher. The only problem is that I am too small. I am 5 feet 9 inches and I weigh 147 pounds. I am a junior by the way(11th grade). I am not worried about my height. What I am worried about is my weight. I have been working out forabout a year now and I have gained a little bit of muscle but not much. I have taken NO2 pills. I have taken Protein. I have taken muscle milk, and none of them seem to work for me. I have really started taking it serious now for about a week. I workout with my friend who really knows what he is doing, an he told me to get some weight gainer and NO explode, so i did. I really want to get up to at least 170 pounds by the end of the summer. I really need some help, so please tell me what I can do to get up to 170 pounds A.S.A.P.

I hate you. READ THE MOTHERFUCKING STICKIES YOU PIECE OF CRAP.

Read stickies

wat??????????????

how much should I eat a day and wat?

Peety7 how much should I eat a day and wat? Ok seriously now......

maybe you should just eat more...

eat until you cant anymore then eat a lil bit more

i know this kid personally and i want someone to give him advice besides me him hearing that he needs to eat all the time from me so then he realizes that it is true.....ive tried and i think he needs to hear it from someone else like you alll who know what you are doing

Peety7 so please tell me what I can do to get up to 170 pounds A.S.A.P. lots of steriods

animal pak vitamins.

eat everything in sight. eat until you can't eat anymore. then pause for awhile.. and eat again. it's not like you have this special condition that doesnt allow you to gain weight. if you eat enough you will put on the lbs.

Peety7 how much should I eat a day and wat? 15,000 calories and 600 grams of protien

twofourtysx 15,000 calories and 600 grams of protien Thaat would...do.it.. lol

Start with a minimum of 18 calories per pound of bodyweight. Get at least 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight. The rest doesn't mean jack shit. If you're still not gaining weight, jack the calories. Take a multi-vitamin. Supplement with whey as needed to hit your protein goals, but at a caloric excess like that you shouldn't have any trouble gettin all your protein from whole foods. Fuck the NO products and spend that money on food. Supplement essential fatty acids, fish oil and or flax oil.

Eat

thanks guys

i need a happy sad smiley... you have gotten serious in a week? that's your first problem...

see food diet.

seriously, eat like crazy. even if you're not hungry. say you go into your kitchen and look in your pantry. you see a new loaf of bread? get 4 slices, not 2, and get tons of peanut butter and jelly and make a quad-decker. something to wash it down. you see some milk. nope not good enough. get 3 scoops of whey and mix it in and use tha to wash it down. feels gross? go look for some spam. get 2 cans, open em up. be careful not to cut yourself. slice the spam in pieces, fry them on a skillet , go back to that loaf of bread. get a few more slices and make yourself some spam and mustard sandwiches. dessert? look in your freezer. 12 pack of haagan daz ice cream bars from costco? eat 6 of em. then eat the other 6. get the picture? good, now eat 8 eggs scrambled with olive oil.

You need to eat like mad. Supplements wouldn't hurt either.

lots of olive oil, fry everything in olive oil, fruits, vegetables, meats, eggs, bread, seriously, its good. but remember, dont get the olive oil too hot otherwise it turns to trans fat. just make sure the OO isnt smoking, so like just above medium heat is good. get Extra Virgin Olive Oil, its the best for you

Cobra Commander i need a happy sad smiley... you have gotten serious in a week? that's your first problem... wats that suppossed to mean. What im saying is that I finally realized that I need to not only work out, but eat right in order to gain weight

Neck strains while working out... :wtc:

Neck strains while working out... :wtc:

So yesterdya and today, I went to work out, but soon into it my neck feels really strained (with pain) and I get a little lightheaded, so I stop when this happens. Yesterday I was doing leg extensions and was ing when it happened. And today, I was doing bench and it happened again. yesterday was 10x worse though, I was buckled over holding my neck in pain for a good while. Today I recognized it and stopped before that happened. Also, lately, my neck has been pretty tense and I've been popping it more than I probably should. I quit soccer in December and just started getting back into shape recently. Anyone know what the issue might be?

I think you answered your own question: it's probably a strain. I had this problem -- a while back -- whenever I lifted anything it would strain my neck, and give me an instant headache.

were you looking at yourself in the mirror while lifting?

Gutrat I think you answered your own question: it's probably a strain. I had this problem -- a while back -- whenever I lifted anything it would strain my neck, and give me an instant headache. I'm hoping so. This sudden motivation isn't getting used! superbri007 doing anything differently, taking any supplements, do you feel you have high blood pressure? Nope, nope, and nope. Odd thing is, it's fine when I do pushups and whatnot, it's just on apparatus, form what I've experienced. I'll wait it out and just do lots and lots of pushups. call me mick were you looking at yourself in the mirror while lifting? Nope.

I had this problem when I was using machines, then I switched to free weights and I was fine for the most part. Mostly happend when I couldn't get a weight up and resorted to poor form to get it there.

i do neck rolls before i do any benching or deadlifting. you just do that exercise they teach you when you are 5, trying to touch your ear to your shoulder, stretching your neck back and foward a few times and it will loosen it up. When i did get strained, moving my neck around slowly did ease the pain and did help me recover quicker than when i just left it alone
