caffiene before workout

[chronicx357]

is this a good was to increase energy and/or intensity?

 

[diamonddiceclay]

yes

caffeine before workouts will increase intensity but it will also increase body tempertaure which can aid in fat lose. How are you taking it pills or just a cup of coffee?

 

[chronicx357]

pills...takin 200mg right now

 

[flex123]

that should be good. Your using for just intensity?

 

[gilly6993-recreatedbygeorge]

I take 400 mg caffeine and 25 mg ephedrine 45 minutes before I work out. 2 months on/ 1 month off or else your body gets used to it and it loses its effect.

You should take the caffeine 3 hours before w/o. That way you'll optimize the glycogen sparing, fatty acid mobilizing effects.

For intensity blood levels are highest 45-90 minutes after ingestion

I eat a tablespoon full of coffee grounds and wash it down with skim milk, jacks me up man

lately when ive been working out ive lost all intensity and get really tired 1/2 way through my workout. tried the caffiene tonight for the first time and im pleased with the results.

I've recently started taking 100mg (half a no-doz) about 30 min. before my workouts and I think it's helped a lot.

(ECA makes me way too jittery and totally messes up my workouts though.)

I used to take 200mg an hour before and I really liked it...just watch out cause your body will get used to it and you'll have to use more..........MUDVAYNE

Make some coffee...

I usually drink two to three cups , black with a little bit of sugar. Gets me up and going!! I work @ 5 a.m. and I workout @ night do to family. So in the early evening my body wants to start it's wind down but after some coffee it's ready to hit the iron!! Get Some!!
