it does cause insulin resistance, but i geuss the super compensated state of working out counteracts this as lifting causes increased insulin sensitivity.

i always take caffeine in the form of coffee before training with some complex carb and shake or steak.

i think Bcaas would help more, or some glucose mid workout.

I've always avoided it as much as possible, but i'm no expert.

coffee has alot of beneficial effects. i would drink coffee right before training if i was going to implement this as the half life would allow it to still be in your blood.
