Do you take coffee(s) before working out ?
If so, does it help ?

The days i have to go to work i have to wake up at 5am. I wont drink coffee in the morning b/c i work in E.R. and it's pretty crazy there anyway, you don't need it. But before i leave i take a cup of coffee w/ me and sip on the way home so i can have some energy before hitting the weights. If not i'll fall asleep in the gym and pick up the little weights. It helps me a lot just don't use it so frequently that you get used to it and its effects diminish.

I drink a lot of caffeine and am trying to cut back, But One cup of Starbucks before the gym than a ripped force during my workout will make me see stars.

Riskybiz said it - you have to watch how often you use coffee as an energy "booster" because eventually you'll need more and more to get the same effect....
