Caffeine (trimethylxanthine)
Caffeine has recently been called "Bodybuilding's Best Drug" by Flex Magazine. And rightly so! Everyone is very familiar with caffeine, as most Americans consume multiple cups of coffee each day. But did you know that it is also a potent bodybuilders supplement?
Look on the labels of almost any pre- workout supplement or energy drink and you will find it contains anywhere from 50 to 200 mg of caffeine. It may be listed as caffeine anhydrous, which simply means that all the water or moisture has been removed.
What exactly is Caffeine?
Caffeine is actually a psychoactive drug that works in the nervous system to block the
signals of adenosine, which makes you feel tired. With the effects of adenosine being
minimized, your brain is more alert, helping you to stay awake when tired, but also to help
you feel more energized when you are not tired!
What other effects does caffeine have?
Here is a short list:
- Helps release fat into the bloodstream to be used for fuel (fat loss)
- Boosts your body's metabolism, which causes even more fat to be burned (more fat
loss!)
- It expands the airways in your lungs, increasing flow of oxygen to your muscles
during cardio and aerobic activity (even more fat loss!)
- Improves mental focus, helping to increase intensity during weight training.
How much caffeine should I take? What is the right dose?
To improve workout performance, take the following caffeine dose on training days:
- 200-400 mg one hour before training
- 200-400 mg right after training
To aid in fat loss, take this dose every day:
- 200-400 mg in the morning
- 200-400 mg before as well as after training
What is the best way to get the right amount of caffeine?
Caffeine can be found in lots of popular drinks, coffee being the most obvious. This is how
most people get caffeine on a daily basis. However, most people have no idea how much
they consume on any given day.
Taking a caffeine supplement in pill form would be the easiest and most economical way
to get the right dose.
