CAFFEINE, how many times a week
« on: July 08, 2006, 10:11:33 PM »
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.

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.
