water weight

[jimjones]

Can anyone provide me with some information about water weight? I know some things that have been said in the past about it, but it seems as though it is "wives' tails" or traditional stuff that really insn't based on fact (like 90% of the stuff Arnold has said about muscle growth). During my bulking and cutting, i want to minimize the water weight factor and lose/gain mainly fat (cutting) and muscle (bulking).

Any studies or articles discussing what exactly it means and how to avoid it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance!
