So fellow tricksters what are your opinions on downing energy drinks before tricking? Do you live by it or do you hate it with a passion or you could be somewhere in between haha. Personally I like it, the added energy gives me more power and such.

Well I'm the type of person that if I drink an energy drink and shortly after get a significant amount of exercise, I go from a ton of energy to crashing and having none at all around 30min-1hour into a session

depends what you drink....things like powerade in general arnt that full of calories for energy, but they replace lost electrolytes and hydrate you. But most other caffiene loaded products i find dehydrate me too quickly and then i also seem to hit a low to early in a session.

I drink them fairly regularly. Not really for training but because I work night shifts.

The ONLY energy drink I have ever had any effect from is Spike shooters, and only with alcohol. Other than that, I drink Monster Khaos occasionally for the taste.

Lots of threads are time machines because of new members, discoveries etc..

I remember I had an energy drink before going to gym (for tricking). I had so much energy that night! The next week I did exactly the same and felt absolutely nothing, maybe it was the energy drink but I don't experiment with them much, they don't do much for me. Sometimes when I have to stay up to study I drink coffee.

Endorush is made by BSN who make supplements and what not, so if you go to the right store like a Bodyactive store or general bodybuilding supplement shops (proper ones, not gay holland and barrets) then you may be able to find it :]

I imagine if you wanted similar effects though, buying BSN's NO Xplode would have similar effects, it comes in a tub for like £40 and you mix it in with water, you'd have manyyyy drinks out of it and it's one of the more popular supplements in the bodybuilding world :]

I SHOULD HAVE THE JOB IN BODYACTIVE LOOK I'M A TRUE SALESMAN WHY DON'T I HAVE THE JOB YET.

I prefer an ECA stack or something reaction stacktion-like. Try Juji's homebrew power drive,or buy the real thing. I find acetyl-l-carnitine: 1000 mg, l-tyrosine: 3000 mg & 200-300g of caffeine works well,though try to only use it when actually "needed". Dave C & Juji cycle their caffeine which is a smart idea,it prevents becoming as tolerant to it. I only use the stack on max effort days(sometimes before to hype me up or sometimes after so I don't feel drained) or when I've got some serious homework / coursework to do,which is why I've just taken a dose about 30minutes ago. I have a bulk load of assignments! :agony:

Edit: Also,in the long run it's cheaper...most of the time you can get the ingredients for the same price of two or three bottles of red bull or whatever. I bought all my ingredients for under £9 around 5months ago & I've still not ran out.

lol 200-300g caffeine.

bulkpowders.co.uk has powdered caffeine, which is like 7ish? $ per 100g, which makes it ridiculously low priced per serving considering you take only 200mg (or more if you want to freak out)

I take my caffeine in form of pure coffee,I'm nice & sensitive to it because I only take it once or twice a week.

I would have thought sometimes people varied their caffeine intake depending on the lifts during the day, i.e taking 100g on a pushing day where the main exercise is usually the bench press, which is not anywhere near as exhausting as the squat in my opinion, so 100g on pushing day compared to maybe 300g on a leg day.

He uses strength parameters with compounds & then does sarcosplasmic param's with BB type shizzle.

Edit: oh yeah,his caffeine intake..whenever he feels he'll need it..not too organised:eh:

Edit: That was his frequency,silly me! His actual intake is 300-500mg & he's even more sensitive to it than me! It's quite a funny outcome.

The maximum amount that an Adult can tollerate of Caffeine is said to be 220mg.
Anything above can make you sick.
I know, Ive dranken 9 in a day off all different kinds and one of them was mixed with a 5 Hour Energy shot.

i think that theyre a relatively useful training aid to be used sparingly.

sometimes if you're feeling a bit sluggish, chugging a red bull might give you a bit of energy that will make a session feel alot better. However, you can get to the stage where you feel you need them to trick.

used sparingly, theyre fine. Anyone who has a good balanced diet and has a good cup of coffee with some honey in it will be getting the same benefit as downing a few red bulls, but over a longer period of time.

Taking B vits about an hour or so before a session works for me. With a hangover and about 4 hrs sleep, me shengoikee and jay tricked for a good 6 hours in the sun and didnt really feel tired.

Maybe if you're a 100 lb girl. There's supposed to be 100 mg of coffee in one cup of coffee, and I know plenty of people drink much more than that. I've taken 400 mg in pill form, and not gotten sick before.

I just drank HALF of an Endorush last night at about 8:30...after a 2 hour session, I went home and went to bed. I woke up this morning so energized that I felt like I had been awake all night. I got to school and drank the other half. Everyone here thinks i'm on drugs.

The moral?

Never drink an Endorush without a physical release.
