My workout partner is always on me to drink more water, but frankly I hate it! How important is it? Any tricks to help me drink more?

Right out of the gate, water is super important. In this day and age, we need to drink more than ever before and if you’re into packing on the mass, it becomes super important. Water is critical in so many functions in the body, but in my mind three major reasons definitely stand out.

First, when carbs are stored in your liver and muscles for energy, they are stored as glycogen. Glycogen is dependent on water, which is why when athletes carbohydrate load they must drink significant water if they are to store the glycogen. Staying hydrated means your muscles will be full and ready to go every workout. Second, water helps regulate sodium and potassium which are located outside and inside a muscle cell. If water levels become too low, sodium and potassium become out of balance and hormones like aldosterone and antidiuretic hormones start competing, and the end result is a higher risk of muscle cramping!

Finally, to take full advantage of ANAVOL’s extreme cell volumization, you need water. It’s a key to helping stretch your muscle fibers, ultimately triggering growth.
