Love the video, just found you guys after a few months doing linear progression. Glad to see some real doctors in this space. Just a quick note, you might want to think about getting a teleprompter setup. This will allow you to look straight into the camera while not having to memorize everything you want to say. This would definitely up your production even more.
Thomas Culpepper you can see him looking up and to his right. He looks like he’s referencing a PowerPoint or something already. Almost too obviously lol.
In reference to all the other comments, it's called a "confidence monitor" which we often install in the AV industry in boardrooms for the presenter. But I had the same thoughts. If the confidence monitor was directly behind and slightly above or below the camera, the production would be greatly increased.
I stopped drinking caffeine about 6 months ago. I've had a few low caffeine drinks since then and it's nice. I am calmer without the constant caffeine which I like.
I think it also depends on caffeine tolerance. One cup of coffee/day and it was quite uncomfortable when I gave it up. Don’t like to be caffeine’s bitch.
Pro tip: buy a teleprompter so you can read off the screen and look into the camera at the same time. On topic: for me 2 pm is hard cut-off for coffee. Otherwise I have trouble falling asleep.
If it's not too much trouble,, what are those acronyms?? what do they mean or what are they?? He speaks too fast for non native speakers. PDE ? PED ? Thanks.
Hei, Jordan. Love these short, infovids. Was wondering if you plan on making one about stretching/taping/rolling etc. These things still come up a lot in my everyday training life. I meet people who have zealous vigor in defending these methods and yet I am not sure there is a sweet and condensed source I could refer to when considering the effectivness of them. Doing research myself is fairly impossible, considering I can not even understand whether the research and methods were done and applied corectly. That is why I value the knowledge and work you and them BBM team do - you are a source I feel I can trust and have a clear goal of helping humanity. Peace.
I think the best way to actually plant a seed in a foam roller's mind is to acknowledge that they are allowed to do it. It's okay to do something to feel better and you shouldn't act like you are better than them because you don't do it. When I explain it this way they often seem less defensive and more willing to listen to what you have to say. That's where I can mention that most the "active recovery" techniques just haven't shown reliable data in accelerating recovery. It's valid to do something if it makes you feel better, because that can matter. But I'd rather not be dependent on something that doesn't have a scientific backing showing that it's actually doing anything.
the only time i stretch is my hams for squatting. Why would you want to stretch out and limber something that's supposed to be tight and hold the burden of heavy weight in repeated movement? The only reason to stretch for lifting is to improve your form on compound lifts.
@@mattdouglas8900 My aim isn't really to plant seeds in peoples' minds nor is it laugh at them. I simply wish to find out more for my own benefit and rather shield myself from the roller's attempts at indoctrination. :D
I'm here to find at least one other person who realizes it's a serious psycho-active drug that negatively mess up your brain in a lot more ways than most people know.
Studies show that it does have benefits on performance, right? But I feel the same way under the influence of caffeine and it lights me up real good. Definitely a powerful psychoactive drug for me too.
I quit caffeine 2 months ago ( pre workouts and energy drink every day ) took a week of feeling like crap, then another week with no energy for training. After those 2 weeks I no longer felt I needed pre workouts before the gym and had returned to a normal energy levels. Feels good not relying on anything to have energy during the day and having nice restful nights.
62 yr old here. Spoiled from being able to take a nap for 14 years as a teacher in Vietnam. Now working in the USA. Never drank before. Now, Caffeine is ESSENTIAL. All the best to everyone.
Super happy with the return to content production BBM. Wish I could better support you guys from Australia. Possible topic of discussion in upcoming content would be to outline the way any foreigner could help out.
hans kazan actually coffee is the opposite of alcohol. Alcohol is unhealthy, coffee is healthy. Coffee decreases risk of health issues overall. Alcohol increases. Coffee* not caffeine. Coffee itself is super healthy. Caffeine is sort of neutral
hans kazan no, there are countless independent organizations. If you think Coca Cola etc is funding coffee studies, then all studies ever must be useless because people can fund them. There is such thing as independent researchers and peer reviewed studies that don’t get corrupted. They exist. If they don’t, then all studies are useless.
I have pretty low blood pressure and just a table spoon or two of organic instant coffee a day has improved my quality of life so much. I do think too much of anything is bad and caffeine has such a negative stigma behind it but for people like me, in small doses it’s literally life changing medicine ❤️
Thank you, great content! One constructive suggestion: Try to look more at the camera like we are having a conversation. When you constantly look around it leaves a sense that either you are not sure of what you are talking about or lying.

Curious about that addiction study. It seems odd to say it's not addictive when I get this damn near uncontrollable urge for an energy drink when I walk into work. I only get them at work, never on my days off, so it's like my body knows they are near.
Anything can be behaviorally habit forming from energy drinks to shopping to toxic relationships. It sounds like for you it is about associating energy drinks with parts of your routine and creating a pattern of behavior around that. I think he means that it is not chemically addictive.
Net effect of caffeine is probably that it's create more problems than not. Small performance improvement, but runny belly, sour 💩, addictive, pushing body above limits, sleep interuption, anger etcc. I would go for the caffeine in tea(teanine) and in moderation. Caffeine is short term thinking. Better safe than sorry. Also the dosage matters a lot of course
I watched this video on x0.75 playback speed. It was perfect speed that most people talk. I like that he lectured quickly though. I wish my other professors did that. My favorite style was from a Math teacher so far. It was a speed course in 15 minutes of the topic at hand. He’s like, if that made sense, you’re free to go and here’s the homework assignment. If you need to digest more, stick around and ask questions. We are gonna do the same thing again at a slower speed.
Thoughts on caffeine and age? What ages should avoid caffeine? Any relationship between adverse health effects on children or teenagers? Thanks so much! Amazing video!
The bit about caffeine and sleep is so true. If I drink coffee after noon, I won't be able to fall asleep until at least midnight, but my uncle drinks coffee before bed and falls asleep in about 5-10 minutes.
I love your videos. There's so much ascientific panic about foods, "chemikills", exercise modalities, pain, etc. and it's so refreshing to hear your no-nonsense evidence-based takes on these issues. The only downside is needing to control my involuntary eye rolling when people tell me about their latest "detox" or that "good mornings are soooo dangerous" or "you will get injured if you train when you're sore".
Courtney Hernandez good morning more like good night because I heard Bruce lee injured himself on good mornings so he had to say good night to neck gain
Good video. Would love to see a similar video that discusses post work “recovery” products and if there is any scientific basis that supports spending money on these to improve recovery.
i thought it said "goth percentile" instead of "90th percentile drinks 380 mg" and i was like "yeah that tracks, my goth friends drink a ton of coffee"
I’ve noticed the more dedeciated to using coffee i am (every day use) the better it is for me i know you probably build a tolerance to it but it leaves less of a hit in my body especially with hydration, i feel more hydrated with just one coffee a day, any more cups and my skin starts to go backwards.. even when using decaf.
Fascinating stuff, you have a new subscriber in me. Question, at 6:20 you talk about how caffeine gum and similar methods get the caffeine into the blood stream faster. I find caffeine from coffee takes about half an hour to affect me but more importantly 12-15 hours to wear off. That 12-15 hours makes for some logistical difficulties in my life. I've often wished I had some form of caffeine consumption that would wear off more quickly. Do any of these methods make the caffeine wear off faster also? Possibly related, about twenty years ago I was diagnosed with slow digestion. The doctor prescribed reglan (Metoclopramide) but I found it causes significant depression for me so I discontinued it. I've wondered if my slow digestion and how long caffeine takes to wear off for me might be related.
11:20 I find, personally, that the only way for me to break the coffee cycle is to take one week off every two months, so on the first day of every odd month I'll take a week off of caffeine, and then when I start back up, I start with 1 cup, work up to 2 cups, and usually end the "on" cycle with 3 cups. Sometimes I try to time it with a deload week, too, to make it easier. This might help someone who's prone to addiction.
I used to love having caffeinated drinks but my cardiologist said to never drink it again because I was diagnosed a very mild heart condition called mitral regurgitation and I also have some kind of perpencity to really low blood pressure. My cardiologist never gave me a real answer as to why I couldn’t have caffeine he just said “the best athletes are only ruined when they consume caffeine then they pass out during a squat and get injured”. Or he would say caffeine lowers blood pressure and blood volume yet every study I’ve looked at shows the exact opposite and I’ve asked why multiple times and I’ve brought up that there’s a lot of studies showing against his words but he doesn’t care and doesn’t listen
I just did the calculation for 3 mg / kg for my body weight. Holy hell that's a lot of caffeine! For a 220 lb. male (100 kg) that's 300 mg per day. Which is my upper limit. Who the hell is taking 9 mg/kg???
Not a good idea to be a habitual user of caffeine. It lowers iron absorption, especially if you consume the superior caffeinated beverage known as tea which has far more benefits and is longer lasting than coffee. Many people are iron deficient and don't realize it. Just to name a few problems with regular caffeine consumption: Caffeine is a diuretic and therefore causes your body to excrete many water soluble vitamins such as vitamin c and the b vitamins. Caffeine requires more and more in greater doses to get the same rush as when you drank your first cup. This causes disruptions in sleep cycles and is the main culprit of the 2:30 feeling you get at work when you begin to just slump in performance and reach for even more caffeine. Last and as bad as the prior, caffeine DRASTICALLY reduces absorption of iron into the body. This has a far greater impact on habitual users that consume caffeine everyday. The greater the amount you consume, the longer it takes to get out of your body, thus continuing to inhibit any iron absorption by up to 40% if consumed in the form of black tea. I was anaemic from not getting enough iron, I lost my hair, my ability to get an erection, I was having difficulty breathing, coupled with weird heart palpitations, and a generally anxious feeling. The worst part is that it takes a whopping SIX MONTHS to rebuild iron stores. So if you're drinking caffeine daily, you're inhibiting the absorption of iron and therefore you won't build up iron stores to where they should be. How do you know if you're anaemic? Pull down your eye lids and if they're milky white, that means your body isn't circulating blood properly as a result of a lack of hemoglobin transporting throughout the body. Iron creates healthy red blood cells and boosts circulation throughout the body. I went on keto and quit caffeine and nearly all of my problems mentioned, went away after about a couple months. My hair is even growing back in and my erectile dysfunction is gone. tl;dr Don't drink caffeine unless you ABSOLUTELY NEED IT, unless being anaemic, depressed, and low energy is your thing.
Good video, although I disagree with consuming caffeine at all! I used to be a 4-5 cup a dayer until I read Michael Pollans new book Caffeine. Now I’m sleeping 8-10 hours a night like a baby again. Also recommend Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker
Marcus Kolvador read it. Thanks for sharing. Definitely always a good idea to criticize anything you read, including Why We Sleep! I def agree with some of the points in the article. Although ill say that most of the book I find to be very informative. More importantly you have to do what works for you. For me, I feel best when I get a solid 9 hours. I can’t explain it, I just feel very sharp and alert. You may be fine with 6 or 7. And that’s fine. Have you read Why We Sleep in its entirety?
I greatly appreciate the video, you had quite a bit of good information. But my curiosity revolved around the relationship between caffeine and the nervous system. From what I understand caffeine stimulates the nervous system and the "crash" one would experience after consuming caffeine would be related to the nervous system. I'd love any insight on short term to long term affects of caffeine consumption on the nervous system.
So heading into a comp day - 2 cups 1 hr before first lift and then, say another to top up at the end of bench? Or get some pills and go large, like 300mg (here at 66kg bw)? I've heard an average duration of effect of 3hrs from the caffeine in 1 cup. I know it's annoying there is no ISO standard volume coffee but is that a decent round-about figure?
So how much should I take on meet day if I'm 83kg? ~700mg?. Also if ephedrine is "Prohibited when the concentration ... in urine is greater than 10 micrograms per milliliter". Approximately how much can I take if I take it 45min before meet, at 83kg,
How about Nicotine ? Seems a bit more common in endurance athletes and shows up on a surprisingly high number of WADA tests, TTE better in some studies, but haven't looked much at strength sports.
Is there studies that show any increase in risk for mouth or throat cancer? I imagine plenty of people drink their coffee very hot, plus something like GERD could potentially result in significant scarring in the esophagus due to consistent reflux in coffee drinkers who suffer from this chronic condition.
I truly believe I might be caffeine insensitive or smth. edit: I meant caffeine insensitive not intolerant i never get the symptoms that most people report from caffeine consumption.
I much prefer beta-alanine in comparison to caffeine for my workouts. When i take caffeine and push myself to the limit i almost feel lime i am going to throw up. And this is 5-6hours having drank some. Normally it doesnt do this. Caffeine taxes the central nervous system and keeps the heart beating faster than if someone had no consumed caffeine witch also is extra energy wasted by the body. I notice my workout duration is about 30% longer/better with beta-alanine. Although caffeine is purported as one of the best PRE workouts by many in the fitness industry i find for alot of people it can actually tax the body more when someone is pushing at closer to maximal exertion. For example after doing a set of 195 having taking caffeine as a pre workout.. 3 mins later for my next set my heart.. body still feels tense and my hr is still higher than it would be have i had not taken caffeine. ON the other hand with beta-alanine in between my sets after 3 min or so i feel much more recovered for my next set and feel that my heart rate is even lower. Witch in turn leads me having more cns strength to perform my next set at maximal reps.
I took 2 scoops of old jack3d dmaa and another scoop of another preworkout, needless to say felt like death. Blood pressure was 170/90. Foolish & very reckless. More is not better.
You wanna know how caffeine is effecting you? If you use it every day, go without it for a week and see how you feel. I was completely exhausted and constantly falling asleep and felt like shit, so withdrawal, which means addiction, shits not good to use on a regular basis. Didn't matter how much or at what time of day I had caffeine but it fucked up my sleep big time. And as an example I would have anywhere from 150-400mg a day.
yes the whole world is addicted so its healthy and fine ive quitted after drinking around 5 cups a day and i feel waaaay better sleep is better mood is better digestion is better skin is better never drink it again
Yes, because that is literally normal life without caffeine. I tried to go through the first semester in college without coffee and I was insanely tired all the time. When I used coffee it saved me.
@@Moreoverover if you think daily life is constantly being tired and you need a daily dose of a drug to keep you going then you are mistaken as to how the body normally works. I can guarantee if that's how you are feeling that you are not taking care of yourself when it comes to diet, exercise and sleep. You can try to make excuses and not take responsibility, but caffeine is a drug, and you shouldn't need it to feel awake and energized.
@@TBIRD0625 On a normal non-stressful day I am definitely not tired at all, but when I am learning for 8-9 hours every day you just can't keep up if you don't consume some sort of stimulant.
@@Moreoverover okay except I was making a statement for life in general in terms of caffeine use and not to the specific situation of being a student. Not to mention that says more about the poor state of education that students need to rely on drugs to survive(hence the huge adderall addiction as well). And just because you felt the need to use caffeine to stay awake doesn't mean it's an excuse to say that it's okay to use on a regular basis, it's still a drug that has negative health effects when used as a dependency and abused on a daily basis.
My doctor said 300mg was a high risk for heart attack😂 I'm 240 pounds following your rule that'd be the low end. That man noceboed me bad dude thanks for the reassurance.
I would listen to my personal doctor and not a youtube doctor. Your doctor may have personal knowledge that says that amount of caffeine is too much for YOU.
@@juniorxxnho On some things I would but when I discussed with my doctor he had no reason it would be extra bad for me and just said I "didn't need it" not to mention that was just my family doctor when I was in high school he's not my doctor anymore.
@@juniorxxnho Read below comment I asked him why and he didn't say anything not to mention he phrased it like "nobody should ever take that much it's just dangerous for no reason"
You didnt mention anything about the increase of adenosine receptors and caffeine tolerance? And does the amount of norepinephrine released decrease with a tolerance that builds up?
I'm one of those people that abused coffee and now I'm allergic to it. Any good caffeine substitutes? It seems like most stimulants are controlled substances nowadays.

I think it also depends on caffeine tolerance. One cup of coffee/day and it was quite uncomfortable when I gave it up. Don’t like to be caffeine’s bitch.

I’ve noticed the more dedeciated to using coffee i am (every day use) the better it is for me i know you probably build a tolerance to it but it leaves less of a hit in my body especially with hydration, i feel more hydrated with just one coffee a day, any more cups and my skin starts to go backwards.. even when using decaf.
Great content! I'd like to see a similar rundown on ammonia inhalants
Who in the world is “mouth swishing” coffee? That’s so weird. People, just sit back and enjoy a cup of java. Don’t make it harder than it needs to be.
Mouth swishing caffiene solution. Not coffee.
If it doesn’t make sense, maybe try to re-listen to the area of confusion. Usually answers your own questions like this.
Fascinating stuff, you have a new subscriber in me. Question, at 6:20 you talk about how caffeine gum and similar methods get the caffeine into the blood stream faster. I find caffeine from coffee takes about half an hour to affect me but more importantly 12-15 hours to wear off. That 12-15 hours makes for some logistical difficulties in my life. I've often wished I had some form of caffeine consumption that would wear off more quickly. Do any of these methods make the caffeine wear off faster also?
Possibly related, about twenty years ago I was diagnosed with slow digestion. The doctor prescribed reglan (Metoclopramide) but I found it causes significant depression for me so I discontinued it. I've wondered if my slow digestion and how long caffeine takes to wear off for me might be related.
11:20 I find, personally, that the only way for me to break the coffee cycle is to take one week off every two months, so on the first day of every odd month I'll take a week off of caffeine, and then when I start back up, I start with 1 cup, work up to 2 cups, and usually end the "on" cycle with 3 cups. Sometimes I try to time it with a deload week, too, to make it easier. This might help someone who's prone to addiction.
Also, interestingly, after a week off of caffeine my RHR dropped from 52BPM to 46BPM, with almost no change in training.
is there a problem with eating and consuming coffee at the same time?
Thought I was going to see someone sniffing lines of caffeine when he spoke about taking it through the nose 😂
I used to love having caffeinated drinks but my cardiologist said to never drink it again because I was diagnosed a very mild heart condition called mitral regurgitation and I also have some kind of perpencity to really low blood pressure. My cardiologist never gave me a real answer as to why I couldn’t have caffeine he just said “the best athletes are only ruined when they consume caffeine then they pass out during a squat and get injured”. Or he would say caffeine lowers blood pressure and blood volume yet every study I’ve looked at shows the exact opposite and I’ve asked why multiple times and I’ve brought up that there’s a lot of studies showing against his words but he doesn’t care and doesn’t listen
I definitely took 400mg of caffeine before my last. A 6 hour exam all together with breaks
I just did the calculation for 3 mg / kg for my body weight. Holy hell that's a lot of caffeine! For a 220 lb. male (100 kg) that's 300 mg per day. Which is my upper limit. Who the hell is taking 9 mg/kg???
Loving the new style of videos especially the boss ass doctor coat
Not a good idea to be a habitual user of caffeine. It lowers iron absorption, especially if you consume the superior caffeinated beverage known as tea which has far more benefits and is longer lasting than coffee. Many people are iron deficient and don't realize it.
Just to name a few problems with regular caffeine consumption:
Caffeine is a diuretic and therefore causes your body to excrete many water soluble vitamins such as vitamin c and the b vitamins.
Caffeine requires more and more in greater doses to get the same rush as when you drank your first cup. This causes disruptions in sleep cycles and is the main culprit of the 2:30 feeling you get at work when you begin to just slump in performance and reach for even more caffeine.
Last and as bad as the prior, caffeine DRASTICALLY reduces absorption of iron into the body. This has a far greater impact on habitual users that consume caffeine everyday. The greater the amount you consume, the longer it takes to get out of your body, thus continuing to inhibit any iron absorption by up to 40% if consumed in the form of black tea. I was anaemic from not getting enough iron, I lost my hair, my ability to get an erection, I was having difficulty breathing, coupled with weird heart palpitations, and a generally anxious feeling. The worst part is that it takes a whopping SIX MONTHS to rebuild iron stores. So if you're drinking caffeine daily, you're inhibiting the absorption of iron and therefore you won't build up iron stores to where they should be.
How do you know if you're anaemic? Pull down your eye lids and if they're milky white, that means your body isn't circulating blood properly as a result of a lack of hemoglobin transporting throughout the body. Iron creates healthy red blood cells and boosts circulation throughout the body.
I went on keto and quit caffeine and nearly all of my problems mentioned, went away after about a couple months. My hair is even growing back in and my erectile dysfunction is gone.
tl;dr
Don't drink caffeine unless you ABSOLUTELY NEED IT, unless being anaemic, depressed, and low energy is your thing.
Is cafeine good for weight loss and appetite supression?
Good video, although I disagree with consuming caffeine at all! I used to be a 4-5 cup a dayer until I read Michael Pollans new book Caffeine. Now I’m sleeping 8-10 hours a night like a baby again.
Also recommend Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker
guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep/
I reccomend checking out this critique of Walker's Book
Marcus Kolvador def will check this out!
Marcus Kolvador read it. Thanks for sharing. Definitely always a good idea to criticize anything you read, including Why We Sleep! I def agree with some of the points in the article. Although ill say that most of the book I find to be very informative.
More importantly you have to do what works for you. For me, I feel best when I get a solid 9 hours. I can’t explain it, I just feel very sharp and alert. You may be fine with 6 or 7. And that’s fine.
Have you read Why We Sleep in its entirety?
While caffiene may not be addictive, the consumption of it can become a habit to the extent where its almost as hard to break as an addiction.
I greatly appreciate the video, you had quite a bit of good information. But my curiosity revolved around the relationship between caffeine and the nervous system. From what I understand caffeine stimulates the nervous system and the "crash" one would experience after consuming caffeine would be related to the nervous system. I'd love any insight on short term to long term affects of caffeine consumption on the nervous system.
They should definitely move the teleprompter closer to the camera for future videos
should i start consumming caffeine if i never really drink any ?
Start with tea
No fuck caffeine mate, drink water
Shawn Michaels Water?? You mean like from the toilet??? 🤢
So heading into a comp day - 2 cups 1 hr before first lift and then, say another to top up at the end of bench? Or get some pills and go large, like 300mg (here at 66kg bw)? I've heard an average duration of effect of 3hrs from the caffeine in 1 cup. I know it's annoying there is no ISO standard volume coffee but is that a decent round-about figure?
So how much should I take on meet day if I'm 83kg? ~700mg?. Also if ephedrine is "Prohibited when the
concentration ... in urine is greater than 10 micrograms per milliliter". Approximately how much can I take if I take it 45min before meet, at 83kg,
I just snorted a gram of anhydrous caffeine. Good shit.
If I was a doctor I would also probably need to read off a prompter to convey accurate information.
How about Nicotine ? Seems a bit more common in endurance athletes and shows up on a surprisingly high number of WADA tests, TTE better in some studies, but haven't looked much at strength sports.
Is there studies that show any increase in risk for mouth or throat cancer? I imagine plenty of people drink their coffee very hot, plus something like GERD could potentially result in significant scarring in the esophagus due to consistent reflux in coffee drinkers who suffer from this chronic condition.
Thanks for green lighting me keeping a case of Monsters in my trunk. Science is cool.
This is a handsome well spoken man.
I truly believe I might be caffeine insensitive or smth. edit: I meant caffeine insensitive not intolerant
i never get the symptoms that most people report from caffeine consumption.
Thanks Jordan!
Good stuff Doc!
It accelerating, sickening speed
I much prefer beta-alanine in comparison to caffeine for my workouts. When i take caffeine and push myself to the limit i almost feel lime i am going to throw up. And this is 5-6hours having drank some. Normally it doesnt do this. Caffeine taxes the central nervous system and keeps the heart beating faster than if someone had no consumed caffeine witch also is extra energy wasted by the body. I notice my workout duration is about 30% longer/better with beta-alanine. Although caffeine is purported as one of the best PRE workouts by many in the fitness industry i find for alot of people it can actually tax the body more when someone is pushing at closer to maximal exertion. For example after doing a set of 195 having taking caffeine as a pre workout.. 3 mins later for my next set my heart.. body still feels tense and my hr is still higher than it would be have i had not taken caffeine. ON the other hand with beta-alanine in between my sets after 3 min or so i feel much more recovered for my next set and feel that my heart rate is even lower. Witch in turn leads me having more cns strength to perform my next set at maximal reps.
What about claims that different methods of brewing have different effects on blood pressure? Does boiled, unfiltered coffee raise blood pressure?
Thanks for the info. Cheers! ☕
I took 2 scoops of old jack3d dmaa and another scoop of another preworkout, needless to say felt like death. Blood pressure was 170/90. Foolish & very reckless. More is not better.
You wanna know how caffeine is effecting you? If you use it every day, go without it for a week and see how you feel. I was completely exhausted and constantly falling asleep and felt like shit, so withdrawal, which means addiction, shits not good to use on a regular basis. Didn't matter how much or at what time of day I had caffeine but it fucked up my sleep big time. And as an example I would have anywhere from 150-400mg a day.
yes the whole world is addicted so its healthy and fine ive quitted after drinking around 5 cups a day and i feel waaaay better sleep is better mood is better digestion is better skin is better never drink it again
Yes, because that is literally normal life without caffeine. I tried to go through the first semester in college without coffee and I was insanely tired all the time. When I used coffee it saved me.
@@Moreoverover if you think daily life is constantly being tired and you need a daily dose of a drug to keep you going then you are mistaken as to how the body normally works. I can guarantee if that's how you are feeling that you are not taking care of yourself when it comes to diet, exercise and sleep. You can try to make excuses and not take responsibility, but caffeine is a drug, and you shouldn't need it to feel awake and energized.
@@TBIRD0625 On a normal non-stressful day I am definitely not tired at all, but when I am learning for 8-9 hours every day you just can't keep up if you don't consume some sort of stimulant.
@@Moreoverover okay except I was making a statement for life in general in terms of caffeine use and not to the specific situation of being a student. Not to mention that says more about the poor state of education that students need to rely on drugs to survive(hence the huge adderall addiction as well). And just because you felt the need to use caffeine to stay awake doesn't mean it's an excuse to say that it's okay to use on a regular basis, it's still a drug that has negative health effects when used as a dependency and abused on a daily basis.
goth percentile, that only accounts for dark roast drank black.
I legit thought goths were some secret standard of coffee for a sec too
Dude I'm so tired rn I read caffeine as cocaine.
*Changes playback speed to 0.75*
Lol I usually turn American vids up to 1.25
My doctor said 300mg was a high risk for heart attack😂 I'm 240 pounds following your rule that'd be the low end. That man noceboed me bad dude thanks for the reassurance.
I would listen to my personal doctor and not a youtube doctor. Your doctor may have personal knowledge that says that amount of caffeine is too much for YOU.
@@juniorxxnho Its more likely his doctor is just full of shit. Most doctors have no clue about anything.
@@juniorxxnho On some things I would but when I discussed with my doctor he had no reason it would be extra bad for me and just said I "didn't need it" not to mention that was just my family doctor when I was in high school he's not my doctor anymore.
He is saying that due to your weight, you may have high blood pressure thus high caffine doses are dangerous.
@@juniorxxnho Read below comment I asked him why and he didn't say anything not to mention he phrased it like "nobody should ever take that much it's just dangerous for no reason"
Without caffeine life is much better tryandc
Could y'all do a video of impacts of Tabacco (cigars) on tranning ?
You didnt mention anything about the increase of adenosine receptors and caffeine tolerance? And does the amount of norepinephrine released decrease with a tolerance that builds up?
I'm one of those people that abused coffee and now I'm allergic to it. Any good caffeine substitutes? It seems like most stimulants are controlled substances nowadays.
Any info on higher doses causing irregular heartbeats?....
When training fasted it makes the difference
MORONS TRAIN TRAIN FASTED, TRAIN HARDER THAN LAST TIME
So what you're saying is.... my caffeine suppositories aren't ideal and I should "butt chug" some scalding hot coffee instead? xD
