Why do people carry gallon jugs of water around woth them at the gym?

I'm surprised your parents let you get drunk in middle school. When you get to the seventh grade, you'll learn that not all sentences should be short dependent clauses. (Not Santa's children, you'll also earn what a dependent clause is.) There is literature beyond "Fun with Dick and Jane."

Please elucidate. Something tells me you're not a writer, or much of a reader.

The sentence is awkward.

The section between the commas is long.

You could have left out the section between the commas and made it into another sentence.

This is what I came up with, and I am drunk.

Serious lifters likely think a skinny guy running 20 miles without hydrating is pretty weird. Yes, it may be possible to run 20 miles without hydrating, but many believe it is unhealthy.

It comes from Mike Dolce (MMA trainer).

(the Dolce diet)

He tells men to drink 2 gallons per day.

If you have your gallon with you, you are almost as cool as if you through out a few high kicks between sets on the bench...

I don't know exactly how old Dolce is but lifters have been doing this since before Dolce ever heard of MMA, cause it hadn't been invented yet, and probably since before he was born.

How original to resort to calling someone a middle schooler. A short sentence. A long sentence. A dependent clause. It doesn't matter. What matters is that your original sentence was awkward. I actually can live with an awkward sentence, but it was your bullying & hypocrisy that stirred me. By the way, how do I "earn" what a dependent clause is? If I were to do enough errands for the measly bachelor's level junior high teacher (you), would I earn a dependent clause?

I didn't read the whole thread so maybe it's been mentioned.

The real reason is health; to help liver/kidneys from the crazy amount of protein and most importantly drug use.

Only fools drink bottled water, except mineral water. That goes for your gallon jugs and for your 20 oz fun run reward too. Groundwater, tap water at least, is vital to get your essential minerals.

Purchase a water testing kit that you can get for @$5 and test your tap water. After doing so, you probably won't want to drink it again.

I drink spring water.

You are probably suffering from magnesium deficiency and some level of atherosclerosis.

Don't be afraid of dirty water. Pure = empty.

Go to your grocery store and compare the price of a gallon of water and a bottle of Aquafina. The gallon jug is like 75 cents while the Aquafina is $1.50. You should be asking why so many people are paying twice as much for less water.

In my experience, it's not the blue hairs on the recumbent bikes, it's the meat heads at the weight stations that carry around the gallon jugs of water.

Yawn.

You caught me on a typo. Congrats.

Now look up bullying and hypocrisy and give examples of either. You see, backing up statements with examples is also something you'll learn when you get older. Who am I kidding, no you won't. I was actually trying to give you the benefit of the doubt supposing you were about eleven. The only other option was you are so bereft of the capability of reading beyond a fifth grade level that as soon as anything other than a simple sentence was used you deem it "awkward." Yes, I did deliberately do that with that last sentence to blow your f'ing mind. ;)

High protein intake does not damage the kidneys or liver in subjects who do not already have impaired organ function.

Not only at the gym but this happens at my office as well. Funny.

Aiming for a gallon of water a day will help you lose weight. Mostly because if you are drinking water you are not drinking sugary drinks or confusing hunger for thirst. Also creatine users will need to drink lots of water.

Leading up to my one bodybuilding show I drank 2-3 gal a day for 5 days then not a drop for 18 hours. Lost 5lbs in those 18 hours. Yes I peed a lot.

Alan

I don't want to lose weight but I looked it up and it's 3785ml - that seems like a LOT of water to drink in a day, I mean I drink over 2 litres and that seems a lot compared to the average person. I could probably do 3 litres at a push though.

And as for 2-3 gallons!!! Alan is that actually dangerous?

I thought everybody had replaced the obnoxiously big gallon jugs with those annoyingly obnoxious shaker bottles --- that powdered protein can't wait.

I aim to eat 10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day...somehow I manage that without carrying a basket of produce around at the gym.

It's quite hilarious. I've completed 20 mile training runs without drinking a thing, but they need a gallon of water as they sit on the recumbent bike and staring at their phones or reading Cosmo.

I've often wondered the same thing about grossly fat people who feel the need to carry around a 32-ounce Big Gulp soda from 7-Eleven with them throughout the day. Conclusion: they're idiots.

(But these types of folks don't have iphones or read Cosmo.)

We could do a whole thread on stereotypes at the gym. The old ladies reading Cosmo on the recumbent bikes, the meatheads carrying their gallons of water, the women who sit on the machines and play with their iphones for 15 minutes between each set...it goes on and on.

It's a fad just like arm warmers and compression socks on runners.

Or the skinny runner dude with the hipster beard wearing a 26.2 t shirt. Please stay out of our gyms and join Planet Fitness.

The whole concept of drinking water all day is bogus and not based on science....It's hilarious to see Americans constantly swigging out of water bottles...If you are thirsty, drink....

It is possible for someone to drink water all day and swig water from a bottle as a result of drinking when they are thirsty.
