I don´t mind sodium. The more the better actually. It keeps me strong and pumped in the gym.

I never thought about that but now that you say it, you´re right. It does smell like that...

LOVE SALT! I am one of those that probably uses too much! HAAH I go through a salt grinder in a bout a week!

BEER battered COD and Cape Cod potato CHIPS! YUM!

Now you're making me extra hungry on the low carb diet/lifestyle I've adopted =)

I just had this conversation with a fellow pro...
One of his clients was holding an enormous amount of water and had developed seriously bad kidney markers over time.
After a while of interrogating him it turns out he was only drinking 0.5l of water per day and eating no sodium whatsoever, thinking this would keep my drier. We are talking offseason here!

It´s unbelievable that there is still so much misinformation out there...

Why would he want to be dry in the off season when gains are the focus?? That means he's probably super flat and doesn't get a pump in the gym....

People have the freedom to be stupid, unfortunately!

he must have felt like shit all the time..no good at all. Can you imagine what a hard and heavy workout would feel like with that little amount of water intake...No thanks

So was he drinking something else instead of water, or was he just trying to stay dry. As a nurse people tell me all the time they don’t drink water because they don’t like the “taste” of it. WTF water has no taste. So these people fill up on sugary drinks and come back week after week paying my house off.

Sounds like our rising healthcare costs I used to work in the hospital for years. We called those the "frequent flyers"

He was doing that on his own. My friend was/is coaching him and he´s one of the good guys. Trust me.

Misinformation. That´s why.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to be dry in the offseason. However, not drinking water causes your body to look the exact opposite....

He must have felt horrible... Being hungry is uncomfortable. But real prolonged thirst is almost unbearable.

No. He wasn´t.
He didn´t care about the taste. He was worried thazt "too much" fluid intake would cause his body to retain water. So he limited it to 0.5l

I came to realize how important hydration was during my high school wrestling days. Suffice it to say the experience was nothing less than traumatic.LOL!! Some folks just need to learn the hard way.
