I am not a serious bodybuilding guy but I do train with my brother 5 days a week. I was wondering what effect would not drinking any water have on bodybuilding. Whenever I drink anything it is normall milk.

Water is used by the body as a building material, lubricant, solvent, and helps regulate your body temperature. It is used by the body as a solvent and after digestion, water and blood carry nutrients your cells and remove the wastes wastes.

You MUST drink 2-3l water, every day.
Avoiding that, may be very unhealthy.

The average adults body is about 65% water. So, everyone, athlete or not, should be getting in plenty of water. Philo also had a great post!

i drink at least a gallon+ when i workout and at least 2-3gallons a day and while im working out i still feel dehydrated sometimes. Go ahead and try it, though milk is great to hydrate, but water is a must. I tried drinking powerade/gatorade instead of water the other day during my workout and i nearly threw up. But then again I sweat a lot and most people i see in the gym sometimes dont break a sweat and thier the ones always b!tchin about not going anywhere. well thats my tangent....You can try it but to be honest you shouldnt.
