Staying properly hydrated is crucial for anyone engaged in strength training. Water plays a vital role in muscle function, recovery, and overall performance. It is recommended to drink at least 500ml of water 2-3 hours before your workout, followed by another 250ml about 30 minutes prior. During your workout, aim for 200-300ml every 15-20 minutes, and replenish with 500-750ml post-exercise to aid recovery.
