Hi all,
Thought I would post my caffeine / Gym question here!
Not sure if I have said before but I have been losing weight for a while now, a year in July/August and I have lost over 6 and a half stone
I have kinda stopped now losing weight at around 14 - 14 and a half stone (in and around that now) well I cant seem to break into the 13's lol.
But I have really increased my weight training schedule, been taking caffeine tablets for around 4 months now and they really help with my training but I wanted to know roughly how long they take to work.
Let me explain lol, do not worry I only take 1 x 200mg tablet before the gym (some people in there are on 600mgs lol)...
I am happy with the one tablet it gives me that little extra to push myself after a days work...
I can be in the gym for say 1-2 hours at a time (closer to 2 on weight training day), I normally take the tablet about 10 minutes before the gym.
But even after 2 hours I am flying like a racing car especially my mind lol, I am starting to think that the tablet is not working till I am finished, or I am not taking them at the optimum time?
I thought 200mg was about the same as a cup of coffee???
Cheers all, thanks for reading
