holy crap. 2-3 pots of coffee + 2-3 energy drinks? haha wow! I take about 1/2 scoop NO Shotgun before my AM workout and 1 scoop before my PM workout and I am PLENTY energized throughout the workout. That must mean I am pretty sensitive compared to you and king, wow. I would probably haev a heart attack with that much caffeine haha.
I am not a big fan of muscletech products in general- so I guess after a few samples of nano vapor I wasn't real impressed (may just be my bias against it and not giving it an actual chance). with NO-xplode I always ended up having to take at least 2 scoops to feel the same as the 1 scoop did, but, with no shotgun I have only ever needed 1 and I never get used to it.
Everybody's different, I usually recommend to switch the pre workout drinks. I'd say I take in a total of maybe 250 caffeine/day tops. about 75 right away in the am and about 150 before my afternoon session.

I have about 2/3 a scoop before i workout, and prob about 1/2 to 1 can of Monster a day. That's about the most i usually have on a given day. generally a little less. I can't stand to have much more, I'm pretty sensitive to caffeine

It sound worse when written down. But I drink coffee all morning starting at 5 till around lunch just constantly refilling. Maybe I should switch some of that to water, lol. Then mid afternoon I drink a couple diet amps throughout (they're in our vending machine for 1.50 and I like em). So I'm not intentionally getting this large amount, but it might be why I have such bad sleeping habits.....somthing to try again. I went with zero caffiene for a couple years and didn't notive anything. Maybe worth trying again. |

wow. that is crazy. you are probably a pretty high strung guy huh? Try maybe just a little coffee upon waking and then caffeine pre-workout. I feel the best when I do ti that way instead of constant caffeine throughout the day. It seems my body thanks me for it as well (seems like I get into more of a natural pattern). Just a suggestion, but, those diet amps are pretty good I hear ya there haha.

caffeine? what's that? i wont lie i never take it, i dont drink coffee unless i need to be up late working on school stuff, especially the wk b4 and of finals, or pop unless there's whiskey or rum mixed with it. I heard that caffeine negates the effect of creatine, if u are taking creatine. one of my buddies did a lit. review for a class on creatine and found that out. I think one of the main reasons i dont like to take caffeine is bc ppl become too dependent on it, and i hate the crash feeling i get from it.
took a sample of NO Shotgun today, legit! I've taken NO Xplode, Super Pump, Black Powder and outta those 3 black powder was the best, but they all have that adaption phase when ur body gets "use" to the stimulant. Gonna start taking Shotgun regularly, gonna do work son!

I think the reason creatine doesn't work as well with caffeine is because caffeine dehydrates you and you need a lot of water in you for creatine to be effective. So I think if you drank a little extra water it would probably help

The new Lemon Lime flavor has been a pretty big hit with everyone, I was pretty shocked. I Have a tub of it myself and also like it. My favorite is still grape, but, they all taste good.

agreed J-Rod, Lime Splash is WAY good, I think it tastes just like Lemon Lime Gatorade, no joke. Grape's my favorite by far, but idk bout that anymore, Lime Splash is giving it a good run, haha!
