Water during meals is harmful?

paperstreet Posts: 15 Joined: 2004/05/22	2005/08/31, 05:46 PM Like most of us I drink plenty of water all day. However, I was recently advised by a friend that drinking water during meals is not beneficial to someone on a strength training/exercise program... To me this sounds ludicrous, so I would like a second opinion. Also note that his goals involve building mass and my goals are mostly progressive.

Not really read anything else other than that. -------------- Bettia.... You will only be remembered for the things that you finish, not the things that you start! ravenbeauty@freetrainers.com
