I was under the impression that in order to build muscle mass I would need to drink a lot of water. Is this true? After watching the below video I'm wondering if I need to continue to buy tons of water.
As someone in the wellness industry were taught to push people to drink 1/2 their body weight in oz of water. Now my understanding is tap water will due just fine. We were also taught about advertising and know 90% of the population won't exercise hard enough to need to replace their electrolytes i.e. Gatorade. From personal experience my skin is clearer and my weight is lower when I drink more water.
I drink between 1 and 3 glasses of water a day, depending on the temperature and perspiration levels. But, I eat food that has a high water content. Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, a big plate of beans every day and a pint of plain yogurt. A bowl of soup might substitute for two glasses of water and many other foods that have a lot of water in them, would reduce the number of glasses of it that people would need to drink.

Dude, dont place ANY weight on a video by a guy who saw an episode of Debbie Downer on SNL then stole from it to try to become an "insta-famous" viral video person. I suggest you seek out other sources for your exercise/fitness/health related issues. Not a goofy vid from a guy who is looking to become an actor or film comedian.
I do much better when I drink 1/2 my body weight in ounces of water. I exercise better, I feel better, and my skin is awesome.
If you were actually drinking half your body weight in water per day you would be dead within a week.
Drinking around 6 L of water can kill you. A liter of water weighs 2.2 pounds. If you weigh 120 lbs and drink half your body weight in water, that would be 27 L of water, which would be way more than enough to kill you.

It is important to replace lost fluids. If you do not do so promptly, you put yourself at high risk of kidney stones in addition to having to end your workout early due to dizzy spells that accompany dehydration. If you are lightheaded or dizzy, you have already been drinking too little. If your urine is dark yellow or brown, you have already been drinking too little. You do not want kidney stones!!!
The only TRUE gauge to fluid intake is your BODY. Your body will TELL YOU when it needs water - with THIRST.
Yes, you can train your body, being brainwashed into belief that you will - read posts above - if you do not drink all that unnecessary fluid - into fallacy of excessive fluid intake. But the only people that really benefit from it are owners of water and drinks producing companies who heavily invested into all that propaganda.
Classic body building school will tell you this - no fluid intake at least 30 minutes before, through and after gym session. That's if you want to really exercise. Not to show off in the gym with colored bottles of neon colored fluids in them.
