There’s no way coffee or green tea are bad for you. Bang could probably kill a person chugging it then running like I do, but I’m in good shape and I’ve never had cholesterol or blood pressure issues so I’m not worried

Coffee and tea are fine. The effects are weak and transient compared to preworkouts and some of these energy drinks that keep your heart rate and blood pressure elevated for long periods of time.

Yup coffee and tea are fine.. Well coffee personally would create some acidity issues in my tum tum. But yeah man if you can grind it out after a solid cup of black or green tea, then yeah man that's the way to do it!

i drink coffee every day i work. i drink a moderately weak 2.5 cups. It is exceptionally useful for insular, creative projects, like when I need to hammer out 5,000 words in a day or do 8 hours of intense video editing. However, when I am managing people I find that it gets me too sharp and I am a worse leader when I use it beyond a single 8 oz. cup of coffee.

Tea is preferred, but I have been denied coffee for 8 years so I'm enjoying it. Plus, my adrenals are still shot from those 8 years of hell. I actually have a doctor looking into some cortisol tests and shit to give me medical advice on how to rebuild my internal systems.

I do not drink coffee on days off. Nor do I drink caffeine on purpose before a workout.

Caffeine is a very good drug and I hope to utilize it in increasingly moderate and healthy capacities for the rest of my life. Some of us tolerate light stimulants very well, unlike big j.

big ups to everyone in this thread.

I drink too much coffee

I am at about 6-8 cups per day ( Keurig style small cups 8 oz I think )

I love my Keurig but I visit it too often

last month I drank 3 100 packs of pods

You could make a lot of that coffee at once and not destroy the planet btw. You know. Cause a few extra pieces of plastic and all.

30 days of gains

19 heavy exercise days in a row and 1 rest day, 10 days in a row and I am crashing.

Going to try to force myself to relax today

Mead you’re doing Keto right? How many grams of carbs do you eat before and after a workout and what’s the timeframe (how soon before and after)?

Thanks & God Bless
