Rep Power: 15 | | | Black Coffee?!?
I used to drink a lot of coffee, since about 6 months ago i have mostly given it up, however, I noticed that if I drink a small cup of black coffee right before i know im going to have a particularly tough workout, it just makes me feel great, nice little energy boost...does anyone know if this is a bad thing? Or has anyone else ever tried that? Cause if it isn't detrimental I'm going to start doing it on harder workout days. |

Rep Power: 10 | | nothing really bad about a caffeine buzz  If you think its helping you go thru your workouts, then go ahead and drink that coffee. |

Rep Power: 18 | | My new crack is adding protein powder to black ice coffee and drinking it on the way to the gym. Nice caffiene kick and some protein.

Rep Power: 7 | | | The only potential issue I can see is that coffee is a diuretic, but as long as you're otherwise keeping yourself well hydrated I can't see how drinking a small cup prior to a tough work out would be unhealthy. I might have to give this a try.

And talking about No, check out some of the nitric oxide (NO) pre-workout supplements.
If you think coffee gives you a boost, wait till you see what this stuff does.  |

Just remember to shake the bottle well before using.
In case you were serious, nitroglycerin and nitric oxide aren't the same thing. |
