Caffeine is not banned or listed by the World Anti-Doping Agency for sport.

Studies have shown that caffeine can benefit endurance performanc.If you are going to be doing cardio, taking 250mg to 400mg of caffeine 45 to 60 minutes before your workout is a good range to get you started, depending on your body size and overall caffeine.Caffeine is not banned or listed by the World Anti-Doping Agency for sport.
The reasons caffeine helps is not altogether clear, but it may have to do with delaying neural/brain fatigue—that is, you don’t feel fatigue or pain as early as you would without the caffeine dose. Also, caffeine may provide direct muscle performance effects.It’s best to drink coffee about an hour before your workout and keep the caffeine dose below 9 milligrams for each kilogram you weigh.
Larger doses of caffeine can cause side effects like insomnia. Pregnant women should consult a doctor before drinking coffee as caffeine can have negative effects on an unborn child.When it comes to exercise, caffeine may increase the use of fat as fuel. This is beneficial because it can help the glucose stored in muscles last longer, potentially delaying the time it takes.Even among adults, heavy caffeine use can cause unpleasant side effects.
And caffeine may not be a good choice for people who are highly sensitive to its effects or who take certain medications. Read on to see if you may need to curb your caffeine routine.Caffeine seems to hold off exhaustion factors associated with workouts. It seems to increase vigor, which is defined as physical energy and strength, strong feelings, enthusiasm and.
Similar studies have shown that caffeine can reduce an athlete’s perception of effort during an aerobic event, allowing them to go longer without tiring. Researchers believe this aerobic endurance benefit comes from the fact that caffeine blocks the A1 receptor in the brain, which helps control feelings of sleepiness and fatigue.This repairs your muscles so you can get back out there.

Studies show a 200 mg dose will improve endurance by as much as 20% when riding an exercise bike, running on a treadmill or doing other moderately strenuous workouts.Caffeine is a stimulant that acts on the central nervous system, the heart, and possibly the ‘center’ that controls blood pressure,” all of which play a vital role in helping your mind and body push harder in a workout.It can also increase the release of feel-good neurotransmitters like dopamine, which effects pain receptors and mood” while you’re working out.When we look at the question, “Is caffeine good for endurance athletes?” there is a plethora of research that demonstrates that yes, in fact, endurance performance does benefit from the strategic use of caffeine.

Ik it’s a short video but just incase anyone wants it
1. More energy
2. Increases muscle strength
3. More endurance
4. Less muscle pain
Great video.!!!my questions: should i take caffeine when i dont workout and if not should i cycle caffeine?
Everyone once I a while, when I’m not feeling it I’ll drink coffee that day before the work out.
Everyone responds different to caffeine… I rather have a caffeine free workout and a caffeine free lifestyle
Getting chased by an angry bear before a workout will also improve your workout. Both caffeine and an angry bear increase adrenaline thus improving motivation, strength etc. ��
Great info Jim. Thank you for your verification from an old bodybuilder from the 70’s.
I never, ever take in caffeine. It dehydrates the body and stresses the CNS unnecessarily, both things you need to avoid for heavy lifting. You need to be fully hydrated and as rested as possible leading up to your workout for the best performance.
Was drinking coffee today while doing workout. It was
definitely a more focused, faster and stronger workout.
People ignore fact caffeine is a great nutrient transporter and is actually great post workout.
Jim what about muscle loss due to coffee.. It harms protein synthesis?
Caffine also lowers insulin sensitivity for 100180 minutes after consumption?
Bruh the sound of your voice increased my testosterone by 20% by the end of the video
Camp regulates fat mobilization as well as glycolisys.
So, I do not think that caffeine can have a glycogen spanning effect, at least in “normal people”.
By the other way, people below 10% Bf (when fat mobilization is hard), it can be helpful for this purpose.
There is another interesting topic: what are the effects of caffeine on muscle protein synthesis?
i was wrong i thought that caffeine is not good for training
But I love muscle pain.
It tells me that I did my best to work out.
I started drinking coffee before my workout and realized an immediate difference
Bullshit. How can coffeine block dopamin and adrenalin if its boosting these hormones? Please read books before you upload lies.
which coffee do i need for my pre workout Cold or Hot Coffee, & also is it Black Coffee or Normal Coffee?�������� i need to know guys Cuz im drinking Protein Powder after workout. But i dont drink pre workout supplements. But Coffee wil be fine right if i use as a Pre Workout? �������� plz i need respons asap Ty in advance guys!��
I knew it I swear one day I drank 4 cups wow what a fucking great work out the other day no coffee pfffff terrible today coffee wow I feel great my muscles are shocked o worked out for 3 hours and I will sleep great tonight thanks caffeine
Would it be ok to mix like a tablespoon of my BCAA in my cup of black coffee before my workout? Or should I just stick with black coffee and get rid of my amino acids?? Thank you in advance.
I think Stoppani and his halt-and-go style of speech would make for a wonderful mafia character in a Scorsese film: I need. To. Get. Some information. And that means. You. Will. Talk.
Bro i’ve a confusion…! Should i do full body (upper-lower) workout or split workouts? Which one is more beneficial for me? I’m 72 kgs, 13% body fat…Kindly reply!!
As far as i know only one meta-analysis about caffeine and muscle strength is published. And it was only able to show significant effects of caffeine in upper body, not lower body? So would not say it is a 100% proven tho.
(Effects of caffeine intake on muscle strength and power: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Grgic J, Trexler ET, Lazinica B, Pedisic Z)
What is your sources for this claim?
Cafeine is not that good especially if you suffer or had heart murmurs in the past in my case I once overdosed on Cafeine which had given me AF.
I am one of those that feels jittery with only one scoop or less of the 200mg of caffeine. I feel anxiety as soon as I consume it.
I want to buy the product, but don’t like the added coloring, do u have a POW without the coloring?
is it alright if i just take Coke Cola during workout? ����
Would the results have changed if they took it earlier or later rather than 1 hour before training? It’s frustrating that they didn’t take time of intake into consideration…
Like everything in life, it has its pros and cons. So pick the pros that you’re willing to take on the cons as well. He’s focusing on the pros w/c is the point of the vid. Quite informative tho so thanks.
Brewed coffee tastes better in my opinion than instant coffee, but is there any difference in terms of results, when it comes to these health benefits of coffee?
1: You will get more energy in the short term but in the long time it will lead to fatigue an addiction. The more you take in the less effective it becomes.
2: No, caffeine does not make you “stronger”. That’s some genuine bullshit. Your muscles are your muscles. They will not get stronger from drinking a cup of coffee.
3: Again, the reason you “feel” like you have more endurance is because of the short burst of energy that caffeine provides. Believe you me, you will crash afterwards just like a sugar high.
4: 100% Grade A Horseshit.
Also, please show me the study that found that caffeine expands blood vessels. I would like to read it. If it’s actually legit.
I watched this on 1.5 speed and it seemed like they were hyped on caffeine lol
Lots of knowledge dropped as always from you two much appreciated.
This is needed video sir i will better put caffine in my preworkout
Thanks for the advice. I’m definitely going to look in getting coffee from hearthstone native.
Dumbest shit I’ve ever heard in my life how do I delete this video
So in recap, caffeine isn’t useful unless you take excessive and unhealthy dosages. Got it.
I really feel like videos such as this should ALWAYS at least mention the most obvious negative effects and risks that come with the subject of the video. While caffeine is widely known, other substances might not be, and people might come to go down the “more is always better” road. Otherwise, I appreciate videos like this one.
Why caffeine doesn’t work with me?
Same with most supplements and drugs
I used 200mg and 400mg caffeine and nothing happened
Another Stoppani BS. Just because you have PhD from 50 years ago doesn’t mean you have always the true knowledge.
Same with Full-Body Workout. When I watch this video i see “partial workouts” in right, For Example: Labrada Back Workout”.
Not Full-Body. If It was that simple everybody would keep doing full-body
His body is lean but his face is fat, puffy and full of water retention.
Can you do a video on spinach? Study from July showing it has same effect roids. (Paraphrasing)
I think is most important to take it as a post workout to improve the broduction of muscle glycogen.
Does the caffeine found in tea like breakfast/black tea do the same thing or is it only coffee that has this effect?
when I can afford it, I take both. C4 was pretty good. ON platinum didn’t give me that boost. Id have to take it more to get a better handle on it. Being a poor single Dad, I’m just taking creatine, and the occasional redbull.
So a couple of caveats to this advice: don’t overdo it I’ve seen guys pass out because they had a little too much, and then went too hard in the gym. Additionally, your body quickly adapts to caffeine, so too much will negate the benefits long term.
Other than that, I totally agree!
Ive been taking caffeine and hit a point where I have to quit. I dont think my body can handle it anymore
Its hard to take these videos serious when there supplements are always being advertised
Now that he makes money off caffeinated supplements he no longer tells people to stay away due to adrenal fatigue. Sellout.
Wow Drax the Destroyer is way smarter than I thought, great job Drax. Say hi to Groot for me!
well, it’s good to know my coffee addiction is only mental… ��
how much do I need to wait to drink coffee before and after workout? it depends an muscle up or cardio exercise? and how much do I need to drink? (P.S. i make Intermittent Fasting)
Jim Stoppani sounds like a 80s wrestler..missed your calling brother…ouhhhh yeah!
Adrafinil’s better, less jitters, less heart attack feeling, more focus, less nervousness. Just don’t abuse adrafinil or modafinil
I can’t believe he’s actually ENCOURAGING people to take in more caffeine.
Definitely lost some credibility in my book.
new information…
bro I love you and I already watch all your video
now I have a small problem that I already stop training for 3 months and am lazy to back… would you give us an information to beat this problem,,, am sure also there are a bunch of people that they have the same problem
thanks a lot <3
Black coffee with a black tea bag in the black coffee best pre work out I used in prison and it worked great.
Altyazıda sadece reklam var. Otomatik çeviri ile izleyecektim. ��
400mg, it doesn’t help with gains but it makes you want to go do stuff and be more productive.
I need none. Totally non responder. It makes sense tough cause I used to drink 2 liters a day. Now I don’t drink no coffee at all.
I never have caffeine before my exercise, or in the very least, not a lot. I’m one of those types that gets tired when they have a lot of caffeine, and I’m an endurance athlete… so nah.
And let me guess….every caffeine supplement on the market is garbage but JYM have the best formula that will make you lose 1kg of fat and gain 1kg of pure muscle per workout. Am I right?
Not really related to video, but question to everyone: Does anyone know of any good channels/accounts on YT or Instagram for fitness/bodybuilding where they show and talk about different excersises, but in a more sober way without gruting and other cringy machismo-stuff?
PS: Great channel, will definitely have a look at the merch!
This channel has the best produced videos. You didn’t had this bunch of information brought so easy to you via the internet in the old days… This shouldn’t be free tbh.
So, Get maximum rest + some caffeine = Full Buff to workout.
Cycling in green tea for coffee half the time probably gives 90% of possible benefit without the mild caffeine side effects that bug me. Not getting up to pee just those couple extra times is worth it alone. Plus green tea has it’s own unique micro nutients, so get the pros of both even easier. Cold green tea is easy to sip on mixed into a keto lemonade or similar.
2MG FOR EVERY KILO OF BODYWEIGHT MORE CAFFEINE THAN THIS SHOWED NO GREATER RESULTS
Mate, is there any chance you can do a video on massage guns (percussion therapy)? I recently purchased one and I’m waiting to see if it works (arriving tomorrow!!) but would love to hear your take on them!! Thanks for all the great content:)
Mr. DeLauer, I was wondering if this works if I am doing IF 16/8. I lift 5x a week and LISS for 3x a week. I stop eating at 8 pm, wake up and lift weights around 6 am and after my workout I stay fasted post workout until 12 am.
Can I drink coffee after my post workout? I would drink it somewhere around 9 am and stay fasted for 3 more hours before my first meal. Thank you!
So, again, well rested or proper sleep will more than likely define your performance most of the time.
Consuming too much caffeine makes me feel light headed and with leg workouts I can see how this would affect performance due to
Body position and vessel compression.
Hey, i dont have much knowledge about workout, exercise types, and fitness in general and how to choose right exercise and its types, im currently reading Body for Life by Bill Phillips, can you suggest some more books on workout for beginners which explains how exercises works and its types, body types which i wanna acquire after workout and how to improve other things like stamina, agility etc
I take pre-workout to help me wake up in the afternoon for my workout since I work late
I will never take creatine cuz It can cause hair loss and I’m terrified of that lol
When I cycle off my pre workout should I drink coffee or not?
I remember this channel being “another one of those drawn channels”
And now here we are
Almost 1,000,000 subscribers
i take caffeine to lift and yes i am makeing more muscle so yes i does work for me not everybody is the same
If you close your eyes it’s like the Hulkster is right with you in the room
You don’t need caffeine. You made yourself need caffeine that your body forgets stimulating itself without substance use. It’s like any other type of substance, from sugar to opioids.
Dr. Eric Helms also made a video about this and provides great information regarding caffeine. Here is the link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YUnPd1NVzg&feature=share
10,000mg daily to start. Redline Extreme, Bang, Redbull and Monster. Just sip on these through out the day untill you reach the mark. Thank You.
Yeah it makes you dehydrated… stop complaining just drink water you’ll be fine
The black shirt at 0:54 looks good tbh, might consider if you have world wide shipping. I live in Egypt
I’m a coffee drinker, i prefer the italian style espresso, i have 2-3 per day, still when i use sometimes a pre workout with 200-300 mg of coffein, i tend to not feel that well. I don’t faint or anything it just doesn’t feel right and i don’t feel improved performance at all.
If caffeine negatively affects sleep, does this not have implications for muscle building and weight loss?
lol at 200 mg, i pop 600mg-800 before training, Sometimes even a gram a pop
I just love the motivation I get when I take pre workout when I‘m not that motivated in going to the gym
28 individuals??? that’s again a joke sample…did they even reported the statistical power? did they even reported individual differences???? do not even bother with this type of research papers…they are published only to serve academics’ publish or perish purpose…as long as there is no meta-analysis with at least several dozens of thousands of individuals or ideally at least several dozens of hundreds of thousands of individuals there is no generalizable evidence for the population…just try how and if caffeine works for yourself…
SInce I think performance in the gym has a strong mental component, I feel like consuming something you associate with enhanced workouts can provide a motivation boost and thus a performance boost, regardless whether it actually provides physical benefits. So I will keep having my cup of coffee and believe in my enhanced readiness to go all out.
Fuck me Youtube! Wtf you proposing budget Moamoa vids to me for? Wtf did I ever do wrong with you?
Great video Eric! Just curious what you’d recommend for someone with a moderate caffeine intake to consume to diminish the overall pain experienced through everyday existence. Thanks!
So creatine is pretty much the only supplement that works 100%?
Cool video. Thanks for putting it out. Question: How can buying one bag of coffee feed an orphan for a year?
In my experience, Caffeine combined with motivational music helps me get through a whole workout. Without it I find myself wanting to leave around 20min in. Personally, I suggest taking a strong cup of coffee and a non-stim pre before a workout. Try it, you will sleep better and actually get a good 1hr’s workout in.
With regards to the non-stim pre, try NPL Black Series Vaso Pump.
Answer: Much less than I consume daily. Seriously. I need help
I don’t use energy or pre workout now but I’m in my 50s,,,but yes used to use any energy drink I could lay my hands on,,,I started with Red Kick here in England around early 90s,,,now just use coffee,,,incidentally before NRG drink’s Russian manual workers would drink coke with cpl spoons of coffee for energy,I never tried it,,,however I have two spoons coffee in small coffee cup and works well,,though best get quality coffee or esspresso,,,,I used to have DBL coffee DBL sugar,,,,,,,but given up sugar as doing Keto,waterfast,ADF same as on “Scott the truck Drivers”channel and lost 24lbs,,,,,,,,wishing you all a GREAT day,,,
Well, that confirms the earlier studies, in some running studies it is even negative. But I am drinking the coffee to wake up and drag myself to the gym not for the training itself.
This was extremely relevant to my interests and actually helpful. Thank you!
Ey does anyone else get anxiety after pre-workout? Im feeling it pretty hard
Didn’t know the recommended intake was 2mg/bw, this is news to me. thank you kindly!
Imagine being able to tolerate caffeine ah haha, weak circulatory system gang
Would like to see a study that looks at performance throughout a full workout. Later exercises in a workout may see increased performance as fatigue sets in. A single set of one exercise seems too limiting to be useful information for the typical gym goer. Maybe useful for the PR setting power lifter.
What about for cardiovascular endurance? I’m curious on the performance benefits endurance athletes can have from caffeine and what dosage is best for that.
A video on how to grow taller in adulthood would be nice.
And a video on how to accelerate muscle gain
while caffeine is beneficial its not a magical drug and im not going to go what you are “likely” going to have, what you will abso-fucking-lutey have is palpitations,tachycardia, forceful heart contractions, dyspepsia, insomnia. i take 200mg caffeine in the morning and before workout. if i miss a dose i get a headache and if i take it and end up idling because something came up and i couldnt workout i get chest pain. yes it works but its not fucking magical. and its not that great
hey man, while its true that caffeine boosts performance, it doesn’t help with strength or muscle gain. what builds strength and muscle is progressive overload, meaning even if you’re a little stronger each workout with caffeine, it wont build strength faster. in fact, caffeine slightly hinders strength and muscle gain from hindered recovery.
Does post workout coffee mobilize more fats into the muscles if no carbs are taken with it?
Please how much miligrams should i take after my training aprox.? And is it aplicapble also for runners????
I like a cup of tea before a long walk. It really helps me clear my head.
Mr. Thomas…is your sexual life affected because you are taking steroids?be honest…you you are naty?!
I really love this channel. I don’t like looking at people’s faces when they talk. this channel explains with drawing and it’s fun to watch and listen.
Guys. lost a lot of weight does not need to be hard (I used to think it did). I’ll give you some advice right now. Get a popular weight loss secrets called Custokebon Secrets (just google it). Thanks to it I’ve lost tons of weight. I probably should not even be speaking about it cause I don’t really want lots of other guys out there running the same game but whatever. I’m just simply in a great mood today and so I will share the wealth haha.
When considering eating healthy, you must try not to fall victim to modern fad diets. Extreme diets are a danger for your health, especially ones that seriously limit your everyday nutritionary intake. While they may generate fast weight loss, these diet plans will never be a long-term answer for your waistline. It is best to check out Custokebon Secrets on google since it isn’t just another fad diet where you starve yourself.
There are at least 3 untruths in this video.
1. Caffeine does help weightlifting (talked about in a later video)
2. 400mg for an adult is considered the safe max, not 500
3. The average 8oz cup of coffee has about 95mg of caffeine, not 150.
This video is crap. Which is probably a first, fortunately.
What’s up with the lack of sources on this one? Usually you guys are really good about that
What’s this carb and water drink. Do u mean a protein shake? With no sugar and then have a coffee after that im confused?
I use coffee before work out…one strong cup.I just heard coffee can cause adrenal failure too
Guys please i need advise i just started today to take fat burners pills called liporush xt can anyone give me any advise on the product and also i am trying to gain more muscle mass but loose the body fat is it good for me?
Thank you!
I’ve done creatin and great results did some ssx pills blue( could not sleep). Going get some amino acids!
Any advice for drinking coffee post workout for early gym goers?
350 mg of caffeine is the equivalent of 4 standard cups of coffee roughly 80mg of caffeine a cup.
It would be great to see a visual timeline comparison. If another video is done on this topic, please include.
Caffine in the not so good part is incorrect guys. Its fine before any type of excercise. Make sure your content is correct for begginers or go workout yourself. Or learn from real athletes
I’m sorry but 2 cups of coffee is not 350 mg of caffeine unless you’re drinking pints of coffee.
I would gladly prefer to stop drinking soda for the rest or my life as opposed to stop drinking coffee
What if I have a big tollerance on caffeine? Is it more dangerous to me to consume an amount of caffeine that has the same effect on me as the 330 mg on an average person? For example, if 700 mg have the same effect on me as 330 mg to an average person, would it be more dangerous to drink it for me as 330 mg is for an average person?
Big fan from Brazil here. Your videos are just amazing. Congratulations.
Could you do one on energy drinks, safe levels of consuption and their potential harmful side effects?
Just ordered my Guatemalan coffee from HearthStone. Can’t wait to try it!
Haha�� my dad always drinks Coffee before he goes to sleep and he can sleep quicker then you can snap your fingers no joke��
Who the fuck takes four cups of coffee before their workout?
is “disadvantages of caffeine” more than “advantages of caffeine”?
is coffe best bf or afther also does coffe before and afther make you uriniate extra?
“90% of people in theUnited States” Because #americaisacontinent
LOVE The absurd notion that Caffeine produces energy that comes from starlight and rainbows, flowing freely forever, and just by consuming this magical elixer one can increase energy levels and live happily ever after. First, Caffeine robs tomorrows energy for today, its a duretic, it releases Cortisol, the stress hormone to activate and tricks the Adrenals to release its tiny store of supersonic energy ( usually reserved for life or death situations ) activating the Adrenals over and over until finally they weaken causing a cascade of hormonal failure. All 20 years olds think caffeine is the shit, but I assure you after a decade or two of flooding the body with Cortisol and wringing out the Adrenals, you are gonna CRASH, and recoverly will blow ass!
Wait what the fuck, 2 cups of coffee 350 mg. My instant coffee is 100 mg per tea spoon. So two coffees are 200mg. These coffee shops are making addicts out of people, with the high amounts of caffeine per drink. Also I have maximum 300 mg per day, one caffeine pill(200mg) the morning and one coffee(100 mg) in late afternoon. No more than that; I recommend caffeine pill than coffee, no NEVER go no more than 2 a day. You don’t want to become an addict. It says 5 on the bottle is alright but I recommend never go more than 2.
Q: I’m drinking coffee
Coffee
Sugar
Creamer.
I’ve noticed that I’m gaining weight. And then I stopped drinking coffee, then now I lose some pounds. Is coffee can make me fat?
Picturefit please answer my Q. ��
I always love the content from Jim! He’s such a well studied athlete and definitely knows wtf he’s talking about. I literally don’t have a single argument for taking caffeine before a workout haha, it saves lives!
What is Custokebon Secrets? We have heard many awesome things about this popular weight loss secrets.
Caffein makes bad to my organism? My workout is 80% calisthenic!
Hey Thomas, i hope you can answer me on this.
How many carbs are we talking about when it comes to post workout, because i’m a little skeptical of kicking my body out of ketosis?
Doesn’t caffeine inhibits mTOR? which is essential for protein synthesis and muscle growth?
Two cups of coffee makes you cycle 20% farther? That’s not even possible.
I just lost some of my trust in this channel.
At Picturefit. It would be great if you showed your references too:)
Caffeine has methylxanthine chemical which activates glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis pathways. Both for increasing your blood sugars. But its only draw back is in gluconeogensis, your amino acids are broken down to make sugar rather than synthesis(making) muscles for athletes. So its not an ANOBLIC STATE, rather Catabolic.
Besides increasing epinephrine it also increases your cortisol levels. All stress hormones.
In a nutshell. I wouldnt consume this daily. But occasionally if i really need it(example during exams lol)
Is that lamp besides you imported from India.?, its typical Indian.:-)
so being skinny, caffeine is bad for me because it will make me more skinny
i mix monster w pre workout. god damn it feel super awesome. love your channel tho. subscibed
But what is the best time to have a cup of black coffee, just before the workout or anytime during the day?
90 percent of Americans? sounds like bullshit to me…so you are telling me, I am one of only 10% who doesn’t drink coffee….hmmm source please?
OK WAIT she said coffee doesn’t work for short intense workouts? I do short cardio workouts. before when I WAS NOT drinking coffee before cardio, I wouldn’t last very long. NOW when I drink a nice cup of dark coffee no sugar before cardio, I noticed that I last longer
2 cups of coffee = +350mg caffeine but 4 is under 500mg a day????
Thats because i take guarana powder before hard exercises,like downhill…awesome o know.
I smoke a small amount of medical grade marijuana
Then I snort a line of cocaine mixed with meth and Mr. Hyde
I then incline bench press 6 plates (each side) with no belt or wrist/elbow wraps and no warmup
After I do 4 sets of 12 reps I mix a whole container of creatine monohydrate with a tub of maltodextrin and whey protein into 5 ninja blenders and chug all of them in a row
I then sprint 30 miles with no warmup or cooldown
I did this for one day and gained 30 lbs of pure muscle mass
I then go to bed and hibernate for 6 months to recover from my INTENSE workout and build an additional 20 lbs of pure muscle mass as I inject and IV of BCAA’s directly into my bloodstream for those 6 months
I am also dead
this was too soft and misleading because caffeine stresses adrenal
When people ask me how I like my coffee I say with pre workout
I cycle my preworkouts. I’m a high stim junkie, so my preworkouts consist of more stimulants, than just caffeine. Focus and mood elevation are a must, before the gym. They make for a better experience. Stim junkies, know what I’m talking about. 160 milligrams of caffeine, is walmart bullshit. We need minimum, 350mg. ��
Someone can explain me if that works same way with the caffeine pils too
We already know this.. what’s the point it’s ridiculous pure waste of time
Why is 3.5kg a much bigger difference than 2kg. If you view it as a percentage then it’s quite similar
Very informative but I swear the more he uses his hands the more swelled his biceps got ��
i heard from someone that caffeine before a high intensity workout can increase the risk of cardiac arrest. is that true?
I hear that optimal dose for performance is 400-500 mg. Any thoughts?
Amazing never heard this type of benefits gonna workout after the coffenap
I wonder why guys have long hair sometimes, like are the closet head bangers or are they closet head bangers am i right?
I’m those sad rare people where caffeine does NOTHING to me… in fact too much makes me feel super drowsy and need a nap…. cries
in my prime i was smoking a roll up and having a black coffee before a workout, fuck yeah
3 mg of caffeine per kg of body weight 3 hours before workouts/competition + 3mg 1 hour before + 1 or 2 MEGs 10 minutes before
It’s so distracting, that Dr. Helms is on a swivel chair.:D But very informative, thanks to both of you!:)
I have one small standard coffee and get arrested on suspicion of being high on meth.
I can tell you right now that pre-workout is not for me. It makes my eye all twitchy and it takes literal days for me to completely flush my system empty of caffeine. Taking 4-5 cups of coffee in a scoop of pre-workout ain’t for me chief lol. I hated my eye twitching. If anything I’ll try just regular coffee if I need a pep in my step for the gym
I sip on a cup of black coffee when I’m at the gym. I do it cuz I like it and it gives me a bit of a bit of boost.
Dr. Helms is one of 3 wise guys whose opinions on all things fitness I value the most….The other two being Dr. Israetel and Dr. Schoenfeld. Good shit Omar. DEUCES!!!!
Caffine prevents phospocreatine loading in the muscles when taken together. If you take caffeine and creatine, best to take creatine separately during the day to avoid this. Sadly, manufacturers of pre-workout don’t know this and combine both creatine and caffeine.
Remember to up your electrolyte dosage, especially sodium, if you’re taking high dosages of caffeine to aid your workout caffeine is an effective diuretic that will flush all the salts from your body which will be counterproductive to muscle contraction and water retention.
Talkin about “the first time you had coffee you probably felt…” LOL who tf can remember their first coffee?!? If you can, you need more life experiences. Plz.
He forgot to mention how l-theanine can allow you to still sleep on caffeine
300-400mg???? I drink 2 cans of Cola Light (= 42mg/330ml) before my workouts and feel my heart going insane. 300mg would literally kill me.
Caffeine constricts blood flow, I wouldn’t take it if your body sculpting personally.
Fuck this guy and his slow talking with big words, I’m just trying to make gains.
Omar prepping for his role in “Passion of the Christ part II Reps for Jesus”
this makes alot of sense since I detox from caffeine and once i started working out I started craving it more and feel better when I have caffeine.
it would be cool if you guys teamed up and did an overview of herbal sups. tribulus, fenugreek, maca, yohimbe and the like
the best home espresso maker is the cuisinart em-200. it’s affordable and it makes great shots.
Please do a video on L-Theanine and Caffine. Some interesting studies have been done and would love to hear your opinions. Thanks
Came here just to comment negatively on Eric helms, he’s so douchey.
A 90kg guy based on 4mg equates to 360mg which as widely acknowledged anything over 200mg can at that point have severe negative affects on the CNS 360mg would literally BLOW most peoples socks off, and id Strongly not advise unless you are a caffeine addict.
300mg or higher before you see any real benefit!! Thats more than any pre workout on the market i know of!
And what about consuming caffeine in the morning, in terms of cortisol levels? I read that caffeine’s effect diminishes in the morning, because of high cortisol levels and that it’s recommend to consume it in the early afternoon. Thoughts?
I exercise every day and have no caffeine in my diet, which makes me curious to try an experiment. Then again, I’m not sure I want to start, especially as I hate coffee.
Man he forgot to talk if the metabolic effects remain or not.I need to know that.
I usually drink half a litre of coffee within 2 hours of working out so that’s about 400mg
What was the point? Take as much caffeine as it stimulates you. Remember it affects your sleep. So don’t take it closer to your sleep time. 11 mins wasted to know what possibly everyone knew. Disappointed Omar

Cappuccino MCT is a coffee that fits into the latest trends in weight loss. The product is very popular. https://nplink.net/s4wa1j3k
caffeine brings the blood pressure up and narrows the blood vessels but then people take dilatators like creatine as well. Why the fuck I mean thats like trying to shit and squeeze it at the same time.
Click baity af…. Nothing new here, the before and after pic? C’mon son
I don’t “take” caffeine.. it’s not a drug.
I drink coffee, which contains caffeine. Which makes my life better.
Hearing your voice without coffee makes me motivated on gym:D
Truly amazing advice. Tried ingesting my caffeine between 13:00– 14:00 yesterday. Worked like a charm. No issues sleeping and I felt quite pumped just in time for the gym. Thanks Eric.
Wear a muscle shirt in front of college degrees while rocking back and forth to produce feelings of respect in absolutely no one.
what is the best time to consume the caffeine? is it 20-30 minutes before the workout?
Watch out for preworkout products, as it REALLY effect your health and maybe lead to death.
Once you feel your heart beat is different or some pain in your heart or kidney or you’re sweating waaay too much, stop it and check your doctor!!
The air in his lungs sounds like it’s in a perpetual state of going in an out, like the outside air is being held hostage by his alveoli, not knowing if they’re leaving, or coming in.
Has anybody else noticed that all of these YouTube bodybuilding gurus’ static photos are heavily photoshopped? Omar is one of the only one I haven’t seen do this
Anyone else trying to focus on what he says but then get distracted by his arms?
Over mic’d. The pops and smacks and high pitched s sounds are brutal on headphones.
Very good topic. Sensitivity and desensitization works for many things. Overtraining is a form desensitization. Very good point in having a reboot mode… It’s like bringing down insulin for a carb break! I wonder what caffeine sourses and there different benefits are. Such as tea is more steady level for longer… But lower. Coffey is too hot in summer… The heat in body is just too much.
I want to know Eric’s opinion about political situation, worldwide. Period!
Q: what is the best way to work on upper body, when you are realllly weak,,, like, cant pull up weak.?

yea sure.. i’d rather not rely on caffeine like some people do.
i take a table spoon of black coffee, no sugar..works wonders.
Will caffeine prevent muscle loss/breakdown during fasted cardio?
Love your videos and the way you explain stuff 😉
@AnabolicAliens I’m new to your channel. What do you recommend I use in my coffee for extra boost of energy? Micronized creatine only? I really need energy to workout because my life depends on it. Also, what brand coffee you recommend?
caffeine does not work on anaerobic activity?? wot??? may i know which research stated that…. o.O
This study is stupid. 50-100mg is plenty for those who don’t have tolerance. 480mg is getting to the unsafe point for those without a high tolerance
(im not Med, just a Cognitive Science major)
Hi. my friends say that coffee should be drunk with sugar.that there would be a better coffee result. they heard it on television when a doctor told them. need or do not need sugar for coffee..
maybe you understand because I used google translate
Idk man I prefer preworkout because coffee just sucks all the hydration out of me and c4 preworkout gives me energy but also makes me feel better than coffee it’s like energy being added to my body nothing else rather than energy being added but taking my hydration away
Also coffee is many times more affordable then pre-workout/BCAA
Should I be drinking more then 1 cup of black coffee And what about expresso coffee which works best?
Caffine is poison. U dont need caffine with work outs u drink water then after uhave a protein shake,caffine is terrible totally
coffee is not bad specially mixed with protein powder and MiO Energy assume most tasting energize also drink creatine and use energy pills
Perfect since I ❤️ coffee!
Question… will drinking coffee in the morning with only one tablespoon of half and half and 1 packet of stevia break me out of fasting?
Before workout, can I take the coffee with normal temperature water??Because, I don’t like coffee that much.
Excellent Video and Content! Great material and very informative, I included this video in one of my recent blog posts highlighting pre-workout alternatives and Coffee is in my list of top 3 pre-workout alternatives. Thanks for the great vid! http://veganfitness.home.blog/2019/02/10/natural-pre-workout-alternatives-top-3-choices/
whats the last pills shown before start talking for caffeine?
Black coffee, preworkout always makes me feel like a crack head and it makes me hella tachycardic I feel hella zoned in w black coffee and no stomachache
Great preworkouts
Bang energy drink 300 mg caffeine
Rockstar Zero Carb (blue Can) 240 mg
Celsius 200 mg
I cycle thru these and taking 350-450 mg per day usually before workouts, sometimes after too.
which coffee do i need for my pre workout Cold or Hot Coffee, & also is it Black Coffee or Normal Coffee?�������� i need to know guys Cuz im drinking Protein Powder after workout. But i dont drink pre workout supplements. But Coffee wil be fine right if u use as a Pre Workout? �������� plz i need respons asap Ty in advance guys!��
can we take black coffee as pre-workout in empty stomach or what should b take with black coffee
I’m like most other mooks out there and have used dozens of different pre-workout brands. Always searching for that magic one. Then I watch this. It makes all the sense in the world so here’s the deal, I now use 3 teaspoons of instant coffee to 16oz water, add it to my drink shaker and in the fridge over night. One scoop of creatine and 1 scoop of protein powder ( I prefer the vanilla) for flavoring. I drink that on the way to the gym. This tastes good and works as well or better than any pre-workout powder I’ve used. A BCAA drink while working out in the same shaker and then a creatine and protein powder for the ride home. The cost difference? Up to $40 for the JYM pre-workout vs $3.94 Kroger Instant with 270 servings or 90 the way I make it.
Wait. So that means I can have caffeine/coffee both pre AND post workout? �� yippee! ☕������☕
Question is, how much coffee should people take? �� I’m going to get off the Pre-Workout powders. Today I felt a really weird and strong & single heart beat while working out, that it freaked me out. The weird thing is that I was on C4 Ultimate & I only drank half a scoop which should be around 150mg of caffeine since a whole scoop has 300mg. I think the time to stop drinking these powders have come sigh What do you guys think about Green Tea? I heard it has around 15mg of caffeine.
Holy shit wtf, after not seeing one of your vids for year I clicked on a vid without realizing it was yours and you look so different! #beard+time=OP
Quick question… Do u only drink the coffee black.. Or can u put anything in it
What would you guys recommend for someone like me who has to hit the gym after work? I don’t get off till 8pm. There is this new pre workout called 4 gauge I have been wanting to try. They claim to be natural.
I like pre-workout but coffee is definitely the healthier way to go
one of ur best nutrition videos in a while. All the research you did shows, great job Eric
Great video Eric, I love my coffee! will have to try some of the Hearthstone brand you recommend!
In another video you said welcome. But i’ ve already signed up for some time
This is a question that nothing has to do with this video. I have scoliosis and muscular imbalances and I don’t know how to activate a few muscle groups… I hope you could help me with this issue it’s just I’m doing a tricep pushdown I just feel my right longhead and my left lateral head + medium and the thing is the muscles are bigger….. That’s why I’m contacting you
Benefit not significant enough to overcome going through caffeine withdrawal for me if you have to cycle. ��
Personally, I drink a cup of espresso, 4,000mg of L-Citrulline (with 16-24oz of water), and BCAA w/ L-Glutamine (chased with cold-pressed orange-juice) before every workout. Works like a charm. Also, drinking cold-pressed watermelon juice intra workout keeps me hydrated and increase my endurance.
Hey,i am skinny fat right now ☹,what should i do to get out of it?how can i make those abs n chest visible?My chest is something different like nipples are slightly up (like in the middle) as compared to u?plz suggest me to overcome this
Mike can your next video be “how to avoid a hernia?” I think I got one when I deadlifted with my back when I didn’t have any knowledge and I’m only 15 so I’m not sure if it’s a hernia, I don’t want to mention it to my parents. Thanks.
Never got creatine because I thought it caused hair loss, guess not haha. Gonna buy some tonight and start putting it in my coffee.
Yall should do a video about weed, and yes we know you guys smoke
he can barely breathe between words or he can barely read…. either way he’s out of shape or sucks at reading from a poor education…. either way he’s the biggest bullshitter out here
Just eat bananas because you need that POTAAAAAAAASSIIIIIIIIUUUUUUUUUUUUUM BIATCH
Was just thinking about this because my pre workout is almost gone. 37 dollars for 30 servings:< might start taking coffee instead before my workout. Also would you guys consider making a video about belts? Like how to properly use them, which kind to use, or when to actually use them. Oh and about different grips too!
I feel like caffeine doesn’t actually make u stronger or even get more reps, it just makes the session more enjoyable? Anyone else get really euphoric in the gym on caffeine and not so much without?
Why is it not good during weight lifting or body building???
Too much trash in preworkouts. If you’re on any orals, take them with coffee.
Also guys I should have mentioned. This is for BLACK coffee. NO SWEETENERS, MILK, OR CREAM. Also another point is remember that almost all pre-workout supplements have artificial sweeteners too!:D
Summary:
Caffeine as a Pre & Posts Training/Workout is Great for increased Muscle Mass, Fat Loss, Mental and Physical Performance and Recovery
As a competitive bodybuilder, higher doses of 500mg before training is the sweet spot for me. I’m also interested what the science says for hypertrophy training?
Pscycling caffeine is a must!
Hello Thomas!
Do you know it it also works with theobromine? I’m thinking of raw cacao for recovery. Cacao-banana-smoothie would be great but banana seems to contain lots of saccharose which isn’t preferred, right?
Tea also has theobromine so that’s also why I’m wondering. I’d prefer tea over coffee as it’s not that acidic for the stomach.
I actually drink a cup of coffee before training and 0.5 liters during my training
Should I drink the post workout coffee before or after my post workout protein shake? (the shake has some carbohydrates as well)
My g looks like Wes Craven. Ollll Freddie Crugar looking self. ��
But then again, if you get more pump, you tear the muscle that much more isnt it? then rebuild it and go again. So how that does not benefit us? I know its all synthetic.. and its bad.. but 50% or more stuff we buy probably are made in a lab.. I remember taking Jack3d original or sumperpumpMAX back in a day.. that stuff was a miracle! I know it was dusted.. but who cared:D
If you don’t like coffee, chromium and cinnamon have the same effects.
So pre workout that contain caffeine is good or not since you can take caffeine after to get Better recovery
Drinking coffee has a direct effect on hormones, increases cortisol level. Research shows, increase in cortisol post workout leads to more stress. Stress = Muscle catabolism.
So when following strict keto what is the best source of glucose to take with caffeine post workout??
Coffee with mct oil and collagen peptides with a dash of cinnamon and cacao about 15 mins after post workout keto meal and having trained fasted,,,,,,,you can literally feel the muscles swelling and the fat melting off you!! i do it 6 days a week!!
Great info!! I’m curious if you have any information on drinking coffee after taking creatine. I’ve heard the coffee cancels out the effects of creatine.
So can you make a safe pre and post workout with the basics that you REALLY ONLY NEED!?!?!?? Send help I’m struggling!
Some thoughts on mg of caffeine would be helpful before and after. I’m an energy drink consumer and coffee drinkerI’ve tried different supplements and herbs, but I come back to caffeine every time.
i dont get it. Why in one of your videos youre saying that coffee and carbohydrates is a bad combination and in this is magically become two best friends?
Great video Thomas. But how much Caffeine should be taken pre and post workout as supplements range anywhere between 250mg to 400 or more in one dose.
What is your opinion about using cold coffee during workout?
(Your videos are great and you already made post and pre-workout coffee, but not while training)
What if u cold shower, coffee and apple cider vinegar before workout while intermittent fasting
Hi I found your post workout coffee video very relevant to an article I just published on my site so I have embedded it here.
https://pinoyathletics.info/is-coffee-good-for-you-or-not/
I’m drugging up pre during and post workout LOL, wonder how weed affects this because I love running high, will also go high 2 the gym sometimes
Technically speaking, would you not want caffeine pre and post workout? Pre would mean less glycogen is used up and post would fill glycogen tremendously. Wouldn’t this cause an influx of carbs to spill over into fat since more carbs were preserved during the workout?
So is it safe to say, black coffee before workout and keto coffee afterwards? My keto coffee would be meal replacement for breakfast.
Ok I finished post workout coffee with cream,coconut oil and 1 scoop protein!my doubt Is breakfast necessary after post workout BPC
Do we NEED carbs after a good workout if we’re on a keto diet?
Is it safe, again I am on weightloss plan
And seriously dieting on fixiny myself to strick diet plan is impossible.
coffee will help me if I consume after my exercise?
I required to reduce nearly 20kg within month 2 month!
I have gained weight again.
So will I consume coffee after workput
Thomas that body of yours is something else.You are damn cute and i really enjoy the way you explain all of your video contents thoroughly.
What about yerba mate, instead of coffee it also has caffeine
so let me understand i need to drink 1 coffee pre-workout and then 1 coffee post-workout and after 4-6h eat a good amount of protein and littlebit carbs? (and afc all this after a fasting) am i correct?
YEY! I only chug coffee for pre-workout… Now I have an excuse to chug more coffee after workout… Hope I can sleep… LOL!
Will try this out. Thanks, Mr. DeLauer!
Awesome Thomas just did my first 24 hr dry fast shooting for 48 hr water fast
I am not able to draw conculsion from the video whether i shouldtake caffine pre workoyt or post workoutgor fat loss….cz i don’t want to increase my carbs level…i just want to reduce fat…can anyone plz clear my doubt???
Iis only eating 1 meal a day post workout really a lifestyle? it sounds anti-social.
So can someone tell me what is a good carbohydrate to consume after work out along with my caffeine?
Question:
During an intermittent fast should I drink coffee pre or post workout for the best benefits?
I think it’s more of a mental thing. I personally hit slightly higher weights when I have caffeine and it’s honestly probably because I think i feel better, rather than just actually feeling better
Thats why I always go to get my coffee frappe on starbucks before and after my workout. ��������
did anyone else notice the lid on his cup isn’t on all the way? It’s making me anxious lol
What about mTor released by consuming coffee wont that inhibit growth?
I’m just a coffee lover lol and I’m actually too scared to try pre workout so I just have a coffee before working out!
I wonder if green tea will do the trick? I don’t drink coffee, but I love green/black tea.
Is it true that caffine stops working due to tolerance in body and we tend to stop losing weight!!??
HELP…I am trying to do KETO and Fasting. My workout is at 6am. How can I don’t caffeine and CARBS as a post workout…if I am not to break my fast until 11am? This has always been my challenge. The timing of my workout with my meals..
I’m 250 pounds and about 50mg at the end of the work day is more than enough for me
Its still surprise me, how some people don’t know about Custokebon Secrets, although many people get great result with it. Thanks to my cooworker who told me about Custokebon Secrets, I have lost a ton of weight by using it without starving myself.
100% fact. I’m a cyclist and raced competitively in criterium for 3 years straight. During training, post rides solo or with my group rides My self and my mate would always have a cup of coffee and even eat pizza. The next morning we would crush out the climbs. I know this is more on caffeine but would love your take on sugar. Because before races I would switch between caffeine or brown sugar mixed in my water bottles.
Guys! I want to loss fat and gain muscle is caffeine and whey good for me, plz give me your valuable suggestions and ideas
Thats great, but careful if your workout is in the evening, caffeine can get in the way of having a good night of sleep. Getting enough sleep consistently is more beneficial than having 66% more glycogen in your muscle. What he’s not saying is that the carb-caffeine drinks participants were given post-workout had the equivalent to 5-6 cups of coffee in them, which is a serious amount. It’s unclear if the glycogen storing effect is as strong with lower amounts of caffeine, according to the study.
