can you get ripped without drinking a gallon?

can you get lean without gallons of water a day?
I have experimented over many years now and find that tons of water does nothing for me.

1/2 a gallon versus 2 gallons and no diff.

any thoughts on this?

anybody getting by on .5 gal?

Depends upon how much water you want to get rid of.

Most people run 1-2gal per day then next to nothing to deplete themselves.

Watch your sodium intake and keep up a decent amount of water(~.5gal+) and you will stay decently lean.

Of course you can. Cold water just helps, plus it is good for you.

if you don't drink enough water you will start retaining water. i just drink water when im thirsty and it ends upp being 1.5 - 2 galons per day.

I wish I could drink as much water as what is recommended. I'm just not that thirsty and it definately gets in the way of my goals

I am able to go below 1 gallon a day as long as i keep my sodium intake very low and still get fairly decent results but if i'm seriously cutting i have to have 1.5 gallons at least in order not to retain fluid. It does get to be a bit much though but i live in south florida so the heat keeps you pretty thirsty.

move out to Arizona - there's no real way to avoid drinking a gallon a day. When its cold out I dont feel like drinking much water though.

A gallon of water is like 9 lbs? Carrying around that extra water weight kinda sucks. But I think it's a necessity for health reasons more than anything.
