12. Water during recarb. This is something that just ocurred to me
this last weekend. Again, understand that the purpose of the recarb
is to ramjet glucose, electrolytes AND water into the muscles to cause
the swelling that seems to promote protein synthesis. We know that
for every gram of glycogen stored, an additional 3-4 grams of water
is stored as well. We are storing ****loads of glycogen in the muscles
on the weekends. For optimal growth stimulus, we need ****loads of
water. Lets say that over 24 hours I am taking in 600 grams of
carbohydrate and that 100% of it is going into the muscles. At 4
grams of water per gram of glycogen, we need 2400 grams of water
for optimal results. Now, 1 gram of water is equivalent to 1 cubic
centimeter (cc) of water. And there are 29.573 cc per oz of water.
So, 2400 cc/29.537 = 81 oz of water. 8 oz of water is 1 cup so that's
10 cups of water in the first 24 hours. Now, most foods have some
water content and you will be getting some in your first liquid carb
meals. But, for the sake of maximal recarb, I would suggest drinking
as much water as you can put down (assuming you're not carbing up for
a contest). You'll just eliminate (i.e. pee) whatever's extra anyhow.
