Do stimulants improve your life?

[cephissus]

Easily the most used class of drug in the world... im convinced the majority of Americans are addicted.

Do you use stimulants on a daily basis?  Caffeine, adderall, whatever.  Do they improve your life or not, on the whole?

Ask Mike Mentzer how they improved his life.

Caffeine.  I only drink it in the morning and afternoon the first to wake up and the last to stay awake for my commute home. On training days I have a cup of ice water with Mesomorph or C4 pre-workout drink.  Every few months I just quite for a week or two.  No headaches and the workouts are only slightly less "intenstive'.  As I don't smoke, drink or take illicit/illegal drugs caffeine is pretty much it for me.

In the '70s Robby Robinson told me that they used to drink a lot of coffee prior to training but started taking No-Doze instead.  I tried that and it put me down hard after a few months of doing it prior to training.  It got so I would burp and "taste" No-Doze.  No thanks.  Never again.

I quit caffeine for like 4 months once, in the hopes of attaining the "increased natural energy" touted by some.  All I really found was that I became less productive ... I'd find myself content to sit on the couch, doing nothing. 

200-600mg caffeine everyday for me, keeps me moving around & getting stuff done.  So yes, stimulants do improve my life.

Caffeine has many benefits to it and pretty much no negative side effects, why not use it?

Caffeine - yes, helps to increase concentration for me and improve my mood.

Ritalin - I have tried it, but was not impressed.

Caffeine is not a great drug for long term use. And it's very addictive.

Coke - great if you know what u r doing. Basically a wonder drug given a bad name due to idiots who aren't suited to using it or have no self control.

Meth - terrible. Only worth using on limited occasions and by someone who understands the pharmacology behind it.

MDMA - an amazing drug and to some extent stimulant used for both recreational and therapeutic purposes. But only on special occasions rather than as a regular drug.

Pre-workout stims - bullshit. If you can't get fired up mentally to train hard, don't train. Of some use pre-contest.

Clen - great for pre contest limited to 4 weeks and taper up each week.

thanks for the personal recommendation!

Getbig is all the stimulus one needs.

Most people feel like shit when they first wake up because they are withdrawing from caffeine, and they need that first cup of coffee just to feel normal.

When you go off caffeine for a while, you can wake up and feel like you have energy naturally without taking anything. But some people have fried their dopamine receptors from long term stimulant use and can take a long time to recover, or they never get back to normal.

Agree. Most people seriously underestimate the pharmacological effects of this drug.

[ratherbebig]

of course they improve your life.

if most people are using, you feel like you belong, a big stimulant family.

and as for supplements you feel better for supporting the industry. i got tremendous joy after buying a supplement from ronnie coleman signature series

[Nether Animal]

No, but opiates do

Great post Man!

For me,
ECA stack plus Maeng Da Kratom for preworkout purposes, cannot have the intensity and drive as before, so yes, I find them necessary, only on training days, otherwise, caffeine is the culprit to get me going in the mornings...

I found the exact opposite. I quite after I realised I had an addiction. Slept way better at night. Much more energy. Much more alert. Workouts more energetic. Sex better. Diet better. Also the effect of coke is way better when you are off caffeine. Life is so much better after I gave up coffee.

During the late 80's my training partner swore by ephedrine and caffeine.  He claims it got him through nursing school.  He ending up abusing it though... he was up to 1000mgs C and 250mgs E per day in divided doses.  I don't understand how he was able to sleep.

[ratherbebig]

what is Maeng Da Kratom?

[FREAKgeek]

Cocaine is awful. Paranoia, insomnia, and false energy. Not to mention nasal infections. Glad I didnt get hooked.

No they dont you are better off using natural sources of energy, I am hooked on caffeine right now I am taking in about 850mg of caffeine on a daily basis as my body got used to it I have to keep upping the doses to feel the effect, right now I am planning to get off.
