I was talking to a former olympic weightlifter yesterday. He was saying that high caffeine pre-WO supps accelerate cortisol levels and put the body in a very catabolic state especially if they're consumed on an empty stomach.
I've got a pre-WO supplement Jack3d which has a fair bit of caffeine but works brilliantly. USPLabs recommend taking it on an empty stomach.
Is the level of cortisol which is caused by caffeine based supps (such as Jack3d or NO products) significant enough to be counter-productive on a bulk?
