didn't make that 6am class today 
between the rain and trying to get my lower back right, jumping around for 50 minutes of insanity didn't sound like the best move.

Took a bit of a step back yesterday but not worried. Stayed at 185 but only did 3x3. Think I'll keep it at that for now to not overwork my muscles and establish a good base before moving up higher up the mountain. Worked on arms also a bit to get some action on that. Was doing hanging crunches and could really feel the burn. Don't know if that was caused by the cereal I ate for breakfast or the muscles aching. Usually eat eggs before gym but got lazy. I did the last 2 reps straight on first 2 sets. Then the last set I did it all straight. I think I'm gonna keep adding more straight reps until I can do all 3 sets like that with no or minimal shaking. Get my core right. I did load up on the protein after cuz we had a food truck event at work and I 
good on that. Plus I got two hours of overtime last night. Was a good day.

Drinking 8 Glasses of water a Day is for Puny Human's and Mortal Man. If you want to be Jacked and Strong A Gallon or 2 a day of water is a must.
As Powerlifters, Power Builders, Bodybuilders and those who want to be Jacked, our goal is to stay Anabolic at all times. And Water does that, water keeps our muscle full, that's Anabolic, Water keeps flushing nutrients, minerals, supplements through out our body to our muscles, That's Anabolic. I drink 1 to 2 Gallons of water a day
WHY DRINKING ENOUGH WATER IS IMPORTANT
Muscle Size and Strength
Take a look at the graph below. You can see that just a small loss of 4% (7.6lbs weight drop for someone 190lbs) water can cause a loss of muscular strength and endurance. The more dehydrated you become, the more strength you will lose.
Maintaining/gaining muscle strength is important for growth. If you keep training when dehydrated, your strength and muscle size will decrease. In order to maintain 100% of your strength you MUST stay fully hydrated. Keep hydrated… keep gaining!
A report by the “Biochemistry Journal” found that decreased levels of water resulted in cell shrinking which causes muscle protein breakdown. Research found that the water content within a muscle cell (myocytes) plays a critical role in muscle breakdown. Maintaining adequate hydration levels will reduce protein breakdown and help with protein synthesis

I remember those good ol days as a young buckaroo had a strong urine flow that could knock paint off of bricks, drink 2 2liters of soda and hold my piss
After I turn 35, drink a cup of water running to the bathroom to piss, that strong flow is now a stream
You might get up a few times to piss

Water serves many functions in the body, and it’s particularly critical for bodybuilders because training and nutrition regimens really increase the need for it.
Bodybuilders often underestimate the importance of keeping themselves well hydrated — hydration status can have a direct impact on bodybuilding progress. Try to drink 16 to 20 ounces of water a half hour or so before you train (and continue to drink water while you train). You may be surprised to notice that you seem a little stronger that day. By increasing your water consumption before training, you increase your blood volume, helping to pump up your muscles. Having fuller muscles can help you lift more weight or pump out an extra rep or two. Over time, this can enhance your gains.
On the other hand, if you don’t have enough water in your system, you might feel sluggish and weak. Staying underhydrated can affect your immune response and ultimately your ability to recover from your training, negatively impacting your gains.
NUTRITION
People often think of water as devoid of nutritional value. Nothing could be further from the truth. Water contains minerals — either added or occurring naturally, including sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium — and other beneficial components such as bicarbonates. Due to their size and because of the loss of minerals through sweating while working out, bodybuilders need to take in more minerals than the average person. Water helps replenish these and other vital nutrients at the same time that it rehydrates the body.
For best results, drink a minimum of eight eight-ounce glasses of water each day. Although it's recommended that bodybuilders take in up to a gallon of water daily, you can also get some bang out of other beverages. Milk and juice are mostly water. Coffee and tea, while they exert a small diuretic (dehydrating) effect, ultimately add more fluids than they remove.
Finally, emphasize drinking between meals rather than during them. Drinking a lot of fluid with whole-food meals can dilute stomach enzymes and slow protein digestion. Get in your fluids, but do so at times other than during your meals.
