Caffeine - What is the maximum dose you can have in one sitting?

[beakdoctor]

Burning out your adrenal glands is no joke.

caffiene is a very addictive drug. Caffiene withdrawls can be a bitch. I was at a point where I would wake up and have coffee every morning, a couple of cups at least. I would head to the gm and take whatever pre workout drink of the day (1mr, no xplode, no shotgun, super pump, endo rush pick your poison) they were all fairly good for energy and getting through a workout. Then I would head to work (the mid night shift ) and to make it through the night I'd have a monster or a rock star energy drink sometimes 2. Throughout my day I was having close to 500 to 700 mg of caffiene everyday.

I did that for years. Overtime, caffiene wasn't so much of an energy booster as it was just a maintance to stay normal, without it I would crash hard, with it I was just getting by. Eventually I felt nothing at all. So much so that I could pound a rockstar and fall asleep a few minutes later. I said fuck it and just quit cold turkey.

I limit myself to a couple of cups of coffee per day and thats it. I don't use shit to workout. Just go and do it as hard as I can. Honestly I feel much better.

Good to hear you don't rely on all that anymore. Caffeine used moderately and timed correctly is pretty damn nice, I like to use it as a preworkout. A single 200 mg tab.

They're also nice to have lying around if I'm tired as shit or went to bed late and need to get moving quick.

i took 400mg and want to wash it down with a can of redbull

I took a tablespoon of anhydrous caffeine powder one time about ten years ago.  I meant to take creatine but grabbed the wrong jug.  Felt pretty lightheaded the rest of the day but didn't even realize what I did until I did the same thing the next morning but realized what I had done before drinking it...then I figured out why I was at 90% of max hr for about 7 hours the day before.

Dissolve a ring of coke in your morning tumbler of belvedere and you'll be wondering why you ever even cared what caffeine was.

I break up chunks.   Like, 1/4 of a caffeine pill (50 mg) is plenty for a workout for me.  I'm a lightweight.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Venti coffee at starbucks has something like 400mg of caffeine(no homo)

"adrenal fatigue" is an overblown myth...virtually zero bio markers to test for "adrenal fatigue."

(I hate even using that phrase.)
