Coffee as a Supplement – Bodybuilding, Caffeine, strength, and performance
scoobysworkshop.com In this video were gonna talk about my number one favorite supplement, caffeine! Caffeine is a cheap and effective supplement for bodybuilders and endurance athletes alike. In this video we will talk about what kind of caffeine to take, how much to take, when to take it, caffeine tolerance, and also about what the research says. Caffeine comes in different forms and surprisingly, coffee is not the best way! Several studies have shown that the anhydrous caffeine in the pill form is more effective in improving perfomance than the caffeine in coffee. If you want to maximize your performance, you should use the pill form. Two added benefits of using caffeine pills, first its far cheaper. For the price of one fancy starbucks coffee you can buy a bottle with 100 doses of caffeine in it. The second benefit of using the caffeine in pill form is that you know your exact dosage. Speaking of dosage, lets talk about how much to use. Oddly enough, more is not better. Several studies have shown that there is no increase in strength or endurance if you consume more than the recommend amount of caffiene. This makes caffeine unlike many other supplements. So, how much should you take? The research shows there is no benefit to taking more than 6mg/KG before your sports activity, I would recommend half that or 3mg/kg – so for a 150lb person thats 200mg. Take your caffeine about an hour before your lifting session and take it at most once per day. If you dont want the …
@S0NICM0US3 *facepalm*
I don’t see any references or links to these studies you are referring to.
@S0NICM0US3 “What an asshole?”? Lmao! Douchebag.
Caffeine is a drug isn’t it? your body does not make it, or need it at all, it’s a stimulant.. so how is it a supplement? From what I’ve found, it doesn’t matter how much you start taking on top of whatever you used to take. My body got used to the caffeine I took and I felt nothing after a few weeks, so I quit taking all together because I found myself buying products with more caffeine and taking extra scoops to get the same effect.
As a medical professional, my #1 thing about your videos is that you back it up by science! Thanks for all that you do.
scooby Why do i get shits after protein shakes? whats the point of drinking it if it flushes out of my body in half hour?
Is there any specific pill you personally recommend or site you prefer to order from? I’m skeptical about supplements and i believe strictly natural body development. Plenty of sleep, lots of water, healthy diet, a good mixture of lifting and cardio does the trick for me but losing weight and gaining strength take a longer time working that way. I’ve always trusted you and what you say so I’m considering using caffeine pills but what are the benefits and how should I use them?
thumbs up if your the 301 viewer
@scooby1961 Just curious, how come you don’t like him?
Caffeine is a unique substance because human body dose not build resistance to it over time. So unlike amphetamines for example, u don’t need to take more and more of it after prolonged use to gain same benefits. You will always have SAME benefits from same effective amount of caffeine.
So cutting it out for a week before competition or not drinking coffee while using caffeine pills is just nonsense. Effective dose will always grant same benefits no matter what.

@beurreaime You jackass. Protein does not clog the arteries. Saturated fats and excess cholesterol do. I’m a student nurse and I had 3 units in Nutrition and Diet Therapy. Caffeine tires the heart, but if you take lots of it. It’s fine in moderation.
caffeine also increases cortisol which inhibits muscle growth
@thespleenfiend cause theres no such thing as six pack short cuts or muscle building short cuts or any kind of short cuts when it come to losing weight or body building. it all takes time, unless ur on steriods
so energy drinks will do just as then right
@beurreaime you bitch preotein does not block your arteries. i should know im a doctor
It looks like nobody listen to the part when scooby talks about “correct dose” ..everything in excess is bad, even water!
so caffeine isn’t bad for your health. (but depending on how your taking it right scoob)? my only concern is if caffeine is bad for your body. i know you said it’s a supplement.
@Sparksterfu Cortisol levels inhibits muscle growth when high levels are maintained over a period of time. In the short term, it is not an issue. In fact, the very act of working out raises cortisol levels.
Great advice Scooby, caffeine is my favorite supplement too. I don’t know why people buy those pre-workouts. Pill form is best and cheapest.
