So I bought some caffeine tablets from https://www.bodybuildingwarehouse.co.uk/pure-caffeine-200mg after a shift at work & im flagging, I take one sometimes 2 an hour or less before I get to the gym, sweat twice as much in cardio & seem to be able to do a lot more before I start to tire. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if they are any good or not. I need a kick up the arse to get me going, a bad sleeping pattern and work just leaves me not arsed to go. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know when I kick myself in to gear I will be alright it just feels a chore making the effort to go. Edited May 11, 2020 by Greb147 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's off it now , it wasn't for me. , Se lads I know used to dip tomatoes in suger before training. I found hydration and a build up of coffee in the afternoon was enough to train in the evening easy enough, especially if I was doing a rest day which was incline fast walk and saunas haha. yeah, you definitely need to build up a tolerance to pre workouts. I only have one of those grenade capsules, find 2 a bit much and end up sat on the settee for ages staring into space lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
