The anabolics effect water plays for strength training

[macedog24]

Athletes grow faster after training when their bodies are properly hydrated with water.
Not keeping hydrated but becoming dehydrated has a catabolic effect. This will reduce the production of anabolic hormones while increasing production of catabolic hormones after strength training.


Effect of hydration state on resistance exercise-induced endocrine markers of anabolism, catabolism, and metabolism

Abstract
Hypohydration (decreased total body water) exacerbates the catabolic hormonal response to endurance exercise with unclear effects on anabolic hormones. Limited research exists that evaluates the effect of hypohydration on endocrine responses to resistance exercise; this work merits attention as the acute postexercise hormonal environment potently modulates resistance training adaptations. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of hydration state on the endocrine and metabolic responses to resistance exercise. Seven healthy resistance-trained men (age = 23 +/- 4 yr, body mass = 87.8 +/- 6.8 kg, body fat = 11.5 +/- 5.2%) completed three identical resistance exercise bouts in different hydration states: euhydrated (EU), hypohydrated by approximately 2.5% body mass (HY25), and hypohydrated by approximately 5.0% body mass (HY50). Investigators manipulated hydration status via controlled water deprivation and exercise-heat stress. Cortisol, epinephrine, norepinephrine, testosterone, growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor-I, insulin, glucose, lactate, glycerol, and free fatty acids were measured during euhydrated rest, immediately preceding resistance exercise, immediately postexercise, and during 60 min of recovery. Body mass decreased 0.2 +/- 0.4, 2.4 +/- 0.4, and 4.8 +/- 0.4% during EU, HY25, and HY50, respectively, supported by humoral and urinary changes that clearly indicated subjects achieved three distinct hydration states. Hypohydration significantly 1) increased circulating concentrations of cortisol and norepinephrine, 2) attenuated the testosterone response to exercise, and 3) altered carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. These results suggest that hypohydration can modify the hormonal and metabolic response to resistance exercise, influencing the postexercise circulatory milieu.

At least I have learnt something new. That is why I always feel so thirsty after my workout. I will hydrate more than I always do, now that I have seen the benefits.

people dont imagine how important is hydratation to have a good performance in gym . Never go train without taking a gallon water before and 3gr of salt . if you do that you will see amazing improvements on workout and crazy pump to

Not sure what you are alluding too everyone knows they should drink a lot.
However letting yourself turn into a bloated pig will result in you being stronger than ever. You look like shit but you'll be strong as hell

Glad to see this thread. Possibly the most overlooked piece of the puzzle in this game.
Poor hydration = subpar anabolism/metabolism and impaired Growth/health/fat loss/performance.
