Workout days- modest 300-400mg

I’m about 200 to 300 mg per day. I’d say the average is around 300. Most have a preworkout and coffee.

400 mg

I workout first thing in the morning. So 300 mg with my pwo. Then I'll have a cup of coffee late afternoon before I leave work to pep me back up for my kids in the evening. Thankfully I normally get 8 hours of sleep so I don't need a crazy amount of caffeine throughout the day.

I used to work from home and was able to workout whenever. Then I only needed my PWO for a late morning workout.

When I was in graduate school I worked 2-3 jobs and on a daily basis I wasdowning 1-1.5g a day ( among other stims). Now that I am done with that, non workout days no more than 200mg and workout days 400-500mg still a bit higher than I would like but way better than where I was.

If you drink 350mg of caffeine and are itching to grab another one...
This makes me wonder
How is your sleep and diet? If you can't feel 350mg and get nothing out of it in an hour I really question some other underlying factors on your daily energy and mood

Untill last month or so I was using about 800mg a day from supplements and energy drinks, but it got to the point where almost no amount of caffeine did anything for me. So I took a two week break from all stims and now I use 400mg no more than every third day. I'm feeling pretty good on that schedule, I can enjoy caffeine and get something out of it but I don't need it to get through my day.

200-400 a day. Never past 12 Noon. I metabolize caffeine at half the average rate of the population. Any caffeine after 12 Noon and I have trouble getting to sleep at night. Slow metabolism confirmed by DNA test.

Some of guys need to cut back, or need to start working on it.


Maybe 100-200 for non workout days. For workout days I try to stay stim free.

Yeah I'm on the upper end for sure. I've been sick this week so getting a small stim break and just taking it easy so I feel 100℅ when I get back in the gym.

Honest question, what has 30mg caffeine? A bottle of soda?

Yea but it was literally what kept me going during that time period of multiple jobs and grad school. Do I recommend it or think its sustainable long term? Oh hell no, and if I could go back I would do it differently but its one of those things I didn't truly realize until after the fact.

Diet and sleep are good. Sleep is usually pretty good but I've fought some colds lately that are interfering with proper sleep.

I can def feel one can. I just enjoy the taste of that stuff so I end up drinking more than needed.

Have a bunch of Pre and since the last few sessions haven’t been using any PWOs because it affects my sleep. Now, I can easily do without Pre. I see some post 1gm and 2gms. I can’t imagine what your CNS will be like. Adrenal Fatigue is a real thing, bros.

It depends on the mission & the cutter as to where they go. Anywhere the us has interest, theres a good chance a cutter is nearby. From the Arabian gulf to Cuba lol.

Right now I’m taking in 500-700mg a day, how much are taking in a day?
I try to not take too much, since I get hard times sleeping. About 400mg atm. Used to take 600mg and sometimes more or less. Then added DMAA and other stimulants into the mix. At the end I realized what I were taking all the time so I decided to step back and go for at least a week without caffeine, and surprisingly enough, I had great results. Alot more sweaty workouts. More "focus", or "clarity" in my head during workouts (no jitters and being all amped up). A nice euphoric feeling. When I got back from my deload I did only need 200mgs or so to feel the same!
