The Caffeine Boost

Caffeine is great to help you push a little harder during your workouts. I’m generally against taking any drugs or special supplements to enhance or improve the results of workouts but, caffeine is one of those that I take exception to. I consume caffeine anyway so I don’t see it as anything particularly special. The only supplement I take is whey protein.

My caffeine consumption comes from coffee or energy drinks like Red Bull. It is hard to tell if it really does anything. I have noticed that I am able to go harder when I’ve had caffeine opposed to not having caffeine. It may be a mental affect where I think it gives me more energy so I end up having more anyway. Caffeine does give you a boost so chances are, it is going to improve speed and endurance during your workout.

Millions of people consume caffeine daily in one way or another and it has been used throughout human history. If you are looking for a boost that isn’t synthetically created or involves a whole lot of scientific compounds that you don’t understand, caffeine may be your best bet. I often have Red Bull in the fridge and of course, coffee.
