Is taking as much caffeine as recommended per day in the book safe to be taking every day? I thought 400 mg a day was the safe dosage per day yet it is recommended to take as much as 600-800 mg at once in the book pre-workout. I drink coffee every day, and today I decided to take 300 mg pre-workout. I got through my first exercise (squats) and thought my heart was going to blow out of my chest.
It's different for everyone. Between pills and coffee, I take about 1 gram of caffeine daily. I can also have coffee after dinner and still pass out at 11pm.
Yup. I could have a pot of coffee right before bed and sleep soundly. In fact, it sort of has a strange reverse effect on me where I can get a little drowsy after a lot of coffee.
Be careful and work your way up though. I find that I can drink coffee all day, but if I take more than 400mg in pill form at once I feel awful.
I've heard the ratio of 2.5-5mg of Caffeine per # of BW is a good range as an ergogenic aid. Experimentation within that range is necessary to find the sweet spot.
