Ha. I take 400mg caffeine with coffee after a workout at 7pm and still go to bed at 11pm.
+1Caffeine does absolutely sh1t to my sleep cycle, but it works wonders on strength for me. I drink 16oz. black coffee pre-workout, around 7-7:30pm... and I am in bed by 12:30am-ish, nightly.Cory
I have about 4 cups of coffee a day, even going up until 10pm and still manage to sleep at 11! It's never really affected that much!! Have people found caffeine supplements to be useful? I was going to but thought 4 cups a day (with a tea spoon of coffee in each) would be enough.
I only use the tablets if I'm in a rush and don't have time to make coffee, like in the morning

This is going to sound $h1t, but instant coffee works wonders in a rush.I toss back 2 tsp. worth of instant, in 16oz. water, when I wake. I could spend more time making it, but I work at 9am, and I get up at 8:30am (my choice). Not eating breakfast has allowed me more sleep before work. 🙂These diets work wonders on convenience.Cory
Yep, this diet certainly is very convenient!!I make my own instant coffee:1) Put ground coffee in French press overnight2) Fill half a mug with cold brewed coffee3) Add hot waterReally works! Coffee doesn't taste bitter either and you have instant coffee available for the whole day. Then rinse repeat (literally).
Starbucks VIA packets ROCK!! A bit pricey, but each packet gives you 8 oz. of coffee. Just nuke 2C (16oz.) water and dump it in a travel mug wth the powder and head to the gym… Folgers and some other brands have come out with similar products at a lower price point so I may give them a try when my VIA supply runs out. I'm trying this approach for convenience as a CNS a.m. (5:30) trainer because I am trying to eliminate my PWO Craze due to the evil Ace-K therein.
I use Whole Foods market's 365 brand instant coffee. 1 tsp. = 1 cup. Dump in water, stir and drink.I can't be f--ked brewing coffee, ever. I am not a coffee connoisseur or anything, so really I am not looking for an experience... just the benefits. In fact, I don't even like coffee -- I drink it b/c the diet suggests me to.Cory

LOL that's hilarious but it's true.... after a while it doesn't even effect you so u gotta ramp up.

I found it beneficial to 'cycle off' stimulants periodically to avoid adrenal burn-out and keep dosages effective while staying within sensible amounts. Time it with a deload to avoid killing your numbers and progress and it shouldn't have any deleterious effects training-wise.When you put them back in, wow, it is like brand new and feels great!
100 mg made you feel that way i wish! im at the end of a contest prep and take 2000mg in a day plus yohimbine hci and raspberry ketones. youd be up for days lol.
