Drink 1/2 your bodyweight in ounces. Hydration has a surprisingly strong affect on recovery and performance. If you are even 2% dehydrated, you will see a noticeable drop in how you can perform. Also, being dehydrated leads to an increase of cortisol in the body which can slow down muscle growth and recovery. This means that hydration has an affect on your performance when working out as well as the results you gain from the workout. Being dehydrated literally makes you perform worse during and after your workout.
