Not sure if it's a coincidence or not but I'm on a work trip and been doing fasted morning workouts, couple of mornings I have felt tired&sluggish and had som dark chocolate (70%) laying around so I a couple of squares and I had 2 of my best workouts!

Anyone done this with luck? I never had any luck with any epi supplement before which I expect being the reason for the performance enhancing.
 
You would have to eat a ton to get any real workout benefits. I think placebo effect is happening here

i would agree with this. It probably just gave you a boost of energy after eatting the dark chocolate. I don't think it has anything to do with epicatechin in it.
 
Didn't mean to rain on your parade bud have you considered a non or low stim preworkout for those early mornings?
 
^ true, but as far as workout benefits it has little value. I agree though good to have a bit daily
 
Thank you for a good excuse to eat a bunch of dark chocolate! :D
 
2 whole blocks of chocolate, or 2 small blocks from inside a packet? Lol
 
This has been my experience too. I feel like I can workout harder and longer by adding pure cocoa powder to my pre workout shakes .
 
I have done this, but it was for the sugar and me liking dark chocolate. If I can get additional benefits, then you don't need to tell me twice. Come on science!
 
IFN used to have Chocolate Truffle which is what I found to be the closest to dark chocolate protein flavoring
 
Dumb question here, but if a product is not 100% dark chocolate, does it still contain caffeine? For example:

Sugar, *Chocolate Liquor, *Cocoa Butter, Natural Cherries, Natural Cherry Flavor, Soy Lecithin (An Emulsifier), Vanilla,

That's an 54% chocolate bar, it need to be over 70% to have all the health benefits.
