Dehydration and Deadlifts: Why Your Form Might Be Suffering

When it comes to lifting weights, especially deadlifts, hydration plays a critical role in performance. Dehydration can lead to decreased strength, poor form, and increased risk of injury. Understanding how much water to drink before, during, and after your workout is essential for optimal performance.

How Much Water Should I Drink Before, During, and After a Workout?

It is generally recommended to drink at least 500ml of water two hours before your workout. During your workout, aim for 200-300ml every 15-20 minutes, and replenish with 500-1000ml after your session, depending on your sweat rate.

Effects of Dehydration on Deadlift Performance

Dehydration can lead to muscle fatigue, reduced strength, and impaired coordination. This can significantly affect your deadlift form, making it harder to maintain proper technique and increasing the risk of injury.

Signs of Dehydration

Common signs include dry mouth, fatigue, dizziness, and dark urine. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to hydrate immediately.
