Ok so I like getting a strong rush from a large caffein dosage (around a venti starbucks or 2-3 vivarin) but I notice that if I use it too often I gain tollerance and don't get that same level of mania / rage. So lately I have been restricting myself to 1-2 caffeinations per week.
How often do you guys use caffeine?
-
3 Vivarin = 600mgs... that's a LOT of caffeine!
The only time I use caffeine is with ephedrine as a fat loss aid. Even then, I use it only sparingly (100mgs at a time).
If you need a "caffeine crutch" to get through your workouts, you probably need more sleep. I shoot for 7-8 hours per night.
Excessive "caffeination" causes bone loss, dehydration, dependence, insomnia, stomach problems, decreased insulin sensitivity, headaches and high blood pressure.
Be careful.

yeah it's a lot of caffeine. A venti coffee at starbucks is 500-550mgs though. Most of my work outs I do completely sober. It's probably 1 out of 4 that I do on caffeine. I get plenty of sleep I just like the feeling of blasting off on caffeine.

anywhere between 4-12 cups of coffee a day. i know, i'm a freak but this shit does not affect me at all. i can have two cups of coffee at midnight and go straight to sleep.

It really screwes my stomach so i just stick to using caffine only in my ECA stack.

tollerance is a bitch
I bet you feel it when you don't drink any coffee. That's why I try to do it irregularly to preserve my ability to get a stimulant effect.
