Some will say caffeine is good, others will say it is bad...i.m.o. it is a rather personal choice, like the use of any other stimulant. Ok, caffeine will not kill you, but it does drain your energy (and causes cellulite in women). But then some of us do like the effect it generates.

Ultimately it would be best not to consume it, because:

1.Caffeine does raise blood fat levels.
2.Caffeine increases calcium excretion.
3.Caffeine may increase rates of miscarriage and low birth weight.
4.Too much caffeine can cause anxiety, panic attacks and sleeplessness.
5.Caffeine raises blood pressure.

I still take it...I love the taste of coffee!

I can not imagine life without coffee. I once had to stop drinking coffee for two weeks because of dental treatment.....I saw everything in black and white....had headaches....,..never more without coffee!

Say what?

Urm..... there's nothing wrong with a good old cup of coffee before a workout.....

BUT, if I take caffeine late in the day (like after 1) I'll have trouble sleeping, that's the way it's always been, but I am going to start taking a No Doz in the mornings.

I usually take a caffeine tablet before my workout - does the trick for me!

I was under the opinion that caffeine reduces the effects of creatine?

[RANGER]

WELLSY IS RIGHT, CAFFEINE IS GOOD FOR A WORKOUT BOOST, ALTHOUGH IT DOES SLIGHTLY NEGATE THE USE OF CREATINE, ALTHOUGH THE CREATINE WILL STILL HAVE ITS CELL VOLUMIZING EFFECT. AND OI YOU WELLSY CUT DOWN ON YOUR SUNDAY AFTERNOON BURGER KINGS AND U MIGHT GET SOMEWHERE
