Coffee is good.

You will eventually get stained teeth, nasty coffee breath, your toothbrush will stink from coffee brushing, smelly coffee filters in the garbage can, and the risk of electrical fires from coffee brewing machines/expresso machines.

Drop a little milk into your coffee. Milk proteins will stick to the tannins in your coffee and lessen that teeth darkening effect.
Also I would suggest that you rinse your toothbrush after use and maybe even change it once in a while. Taking the garbage bag out into a bin helps with smell.

Moving in with the Amish community eliminates the risk uof coffee maker electrical fire as it can happen with TVs, fridges, computers or any electrical household appliance.

Pre workouts? This generation is soft as fuck. Back in my day we worked out driven by hatred and anger towards the world.

But with the cialis, presumably, one could give many fucks.

If coffee (caffeine) leaves you jittery just drink green tea (caffeine without the jitters/side effects)

Cold brew green tea is also a very refreshing drink. No homo

Actually, a dude in Tennessee made  Mountain Dew.  He created it as a mixer for whiskey.   True story.

And I hate coffee too.  Especially when other people drink it and have it on their breath.

Ive been asking myself this for a few years now. Some pwo's have as much as 500 or 600 mgs of caffeine per dose! That is a crazy amount.

I also have an essential tremor which I can be self conscious about especially if Im doing any kind of public speaking engagement. And stimulants- especially caffeine- increase the tremor noticeably. Aside from that, something is going to give sooner or later. Maybe not at 50 or 55 but surely if you're slamming 4 or 5 hundred milligrams of caffeine and then lifting heavy weights for a few hours, you'd think it would eventually result in a heart attack or stroke, if not kidney damage from elevated blood pressure.

Ive struggled a lot with stimulant use. Mostly caffeine but modafinil, dextroamphetamine, Adderall, DMHA, DMAA
And have used pre-workouts for 20 years- since my mid 30s.

The thing is stimulants really don't do much for me but it's more of a mental addiction than physical.  Im always looking for the so-called "focus" but stimulants don't actually enhance focus.

I have found that some "nootropics" enhance creativity and increase energy as a result of heightened euphoria, and certain things like music, for example, sounds better and so I use certain nootropics in place of preworkouts and have cut back on my stimulant use... again. The best nootropic is phenibut in any of its various forms, baclofen and gabapentin (all gabaminergics) seem to provide the 'focus' that pre-workouts promise.

I plan on trying methelene blue. Ive read/heard that it has nootropic effects but isn't necessarily a stimulant and mostly has antioxidant properties but haven't tried it myself.

Isn't Methelene Blue a surgical dye?  Or is that the name of some other supplement thing?

I am very sensitive to stims and back in 2013 or 2014 I bought a box of Modvigil (modafinil).  Each tab is 200mg.  1/4th of a tab will wire me up the entire day.  Today I still have over half the box.  That is how infrequently I use it.  On a side note, somewhere I have about 500 tabs from the old source IP.  Unfortunately there are two problems with this.  1-  they are tiny.  like the size of a BB.  So I can't half or quarter them.  Which (for me) makes them too strong.   2- You take it and all day long there is a overpowering taste in your mouth.  Like you just sucked the last fart out of a three day old dead man.

How do you like it? Does it affect your hunger levels at all?
I like it, the pump is unreal, nice smooth energy, nothing too crazy though, nothing that feels like a heart attack waiting to happen. I'm not sure if it affects my hunger levels, I can still eat after my workout

He took methylene blue? I thought he only ate scrotum.

I didn't know that. Others have talked about its benefits,  Huberman, Rogan and a few others.

He was taking it like it was going out of fashion when he had his psychotic episode.

Walking around with blue lips, filming himself in the toilet waiting for the enema to work, spouting insane shit and threatening to kill Rogan

This could be describing me down to the essential tremor.

Stims with gabaergics is the best for workouts, or anything. At least I think so. I absolutely love stims but seem to be able to drop them for months without too many problems as well, so I don't know how "addictive" they are for me really.

I tried Methylene Blue but didn't notice anything from 5mg doses.

Thought on Modafinil or Armodafinil?

Does it cause any dependency or long-term health problems? Or receptor desensitization or tolerance build-up?

I definitely want to get on Modafinil when I get older.

Never ”used” any preworkout stuff.

My problem has always been recovery, not that I would not be able to traing hard enough.
