Coffee as a energy drink

[Salty]

Yeah a guy who i work with used to take dexi's (ADD tablets) before a workout to get him to be able to lift more. Just because it helps you doesn't mean it's necessarily good for you. Like the above poster said it hurts your heart, i stay away from caffeine all together. Eat a banana an hour before training much better for you and provides longer lasting energy.

i dont think my hearts at risk as i have a 124/69 bp and a resting pulse of 40-45 which is apparently very healthy

Coffee is not bad for your heart. The cream you put in coffee is bad for your heart. Black coffee is a powerful antioxidant -- on par with blueberries and pomegranate -- which means among other things that it helps you heal from the bruises and dents you get when sparring. It has zero calories. I often have a cup of black coffee before training.

Coffee is the only thing that gets me going in the morning.

id leave the coffee before training your heart rate goes up high enough without caffiene, i think its best to do a nice long session at a good pace than have a coffee b4 training, go hell for leather for 45 mins then burn out when the caffiene hit wears off

Even Ginseng is banned in the Olympics.

I feel coffee gave me energy at work, but when I'm training I already had a high heart rate.


The Olympics ban all substances still only rumored to give an advantage.

Ritalin is a stimulant used to help you focus and direct your attention span which, if you're ADHD, you typically lack. This will do absolutely nothing to your training in a negative effect and conversely, your training will not cause the medication to do anything funny. Do some research on Ritalin and ADHD for your own good. You actually benefit from having ADHD because having the hyper-active aspect actually provides you with more energy than those who don't have it.
