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.

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

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.

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.

No it's not.
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.

I wonder could you take nitroglycerin pills for the same effect. My mothers gets them for free with her insurance :P

I wasn't joking. They give nitroglycerin to people with a heart condition know as angina. Nitroglycerin gets converted to NO in your
body and no, people taking them don't explode
