Good ol preworkouts, a supplement industry that has grown substantially in the past few decades. As big of a money maker preworkout supplements might be, does it actually make a difference to your resistance training? More so, how does the primary stimulant found in preworkouts, caffeine, stack up against preworkouts that do not have stimulants? In this video, we look into a new study that pits caffeinated preworkouts against its non-caffeinated counterpart to see if the caffeine actually makes a difference.

One thing that I noticed and learned after 14 years lifting and many of them taking stimulants like PWO and Fatburners is that you've to work on your sensibility to stimulants, including caffeine. I used to drink A LOT of black coffee every single day along PWO/Fat-burners. So they basically had very little effect on me. I was always caffeinated. In other words, I became addicted. This way, I always had to take more and more (or take something stronger) to "feel it". And truth be told, most of the time I couldn't feel the stimulants at all. So my tip here is to cycle your stimulants. Do not take stimulants every single day (including caffeinated teas, black coffee, diet coke, etc.). Aim to have at least 1-2 days with ZERO STIMULANTS every week to clean your body and improve your sensibility - ideally 2-3 days on, 1 day off. I do also recommend you have 1 week completely off stimulants/caffeine every once in a while, like every 2-3 months. It will help a lot!

@coolrockstar32 Год назад

This! So true. Your tolerance to caffeine is a big factor on the amount of affect you would notice

@ditz3nfitness Год назад

Definitely agree with everything said!

@karnivore3708 Год назад

I usually drink v8 energy drinks (80mg caffeine each). I'll start with one being enough to get me through a day and after I start to need 3 to function the same I take 1-2 weeks off caffeine to reset my sensitivity.

What I was in school I would start with 1 cup of coffee each day at the start of the semester. It would slowly grow to 1.5, 2, and then often 3 cups by the end of the semester during finals. However, I always made sure to "detox" during the respective winter and summer breaks. In part because I wanted to lower my tolerance, but mostly because making the much coffee is a pain. I recently tried to detox again but at this point I had been out of school for 2.5 years and the withdrawals were sooo much worse. I think you have a sensible outlook.

I switched to non-stim preworkout over a year ago since I mainly workout past 4pm-I have high tolerance and would have to take high stim to really feel anything but it was ruining my sleep and sleep quality. Most of my insomnia related issues cleared up after the switch. My workouts were largely the same, but I could actually take the non-stim pre on an empty stomach in the morning and be totally fine. You don’t need caffeine for pumps, endurance, or focus.

This is interesting. So I don't really take caffeine cuz I care about my already very irregular sleep schedule. I find that not having any caffeine (so no tea or coffee either) at all increases my chances of being able to sleep for a full 9 hours. And when I sleep well, I can absolutely destroy all my PRs in a single day. I used to take some coffee on the days I was tired, it used to help, but I don't do that anymore. For me sleeping is my PED Edit: also when I haven't slept well, I'm always worried about injuring myself. Cuz that's when my muscles start creaking (not literally, they just feel rusty) and my joints hurt. Caffeine helps dull that pain, but it comes back worse the next day, so I prefer to play it safe and not get injured at all

Preworkout is my only source of caffeine. I find that it helps to give some extra “oomph” to each rep of any exercise I do. I’m a naturally passive person, I find it really hard to dig deep and push aggressively (in general, but also) in the gym. For a person like me, it’s a pretty big help. 😁

@justincollins2804 Год назад

@@gustopher6500 I don't think so. It's often the case that people need help when doing something new. Training wheels on a bike, accountability on a diet, etc. I'm fully capable of giving submaximal efforts without caffeine for weights on exercises that are above and beyond what used to be maximal for me. In that way, caffeine acts as the first time learning that my body seems to need when reaching new heights via progressive overload. Beyond that though, and there's certainly room for placebo, I feel like I'm much more capable of rapidly generating force with caffeine. My personality is very chill and I'd say that turtles are my spirit animal. I struggle with speed oriented tasks, I once worked at a subway for ~6 months and I improved tremendously, yet I was still barely passable in terms of my speed. In the gym I have to take myself to a different psychological place in order to be effective and caffeine helps to facilitate that. But let's say that "relying of caffeine" is holding me back. What then? I trained for about 3.5 years without caffeine. I made some progress. I trained for the past year with caffeine and I probably made just as much progress in that one year as I did in the past 3.5 years. And sure, there are other things going into why I was able to make more progress (still 100% natty, it's not drugs), but the fact remains that it helped. It's legal, it's not seen as cheating, and it's literally the only caffeine I consume. If I suck without caffeine (I don't), that's fine. It just helps me to generate force and reach new heights via progressive overload. I'm not sure I see a downside.

The moment I realised I was having too much coffee day to day was when my work out buddy and I shared some pre-workout. He was absolutely off his face and running wild yet I didn't feel a thing. At the time I was having 8 cups of coffee a day and he was having only 1. My sleep quality has improved sooo much since I cut down to 2 cups a day, with none after 12pm and I generally feel better all round. Scary, really!

Woops. Yep, I cycle off caffeine when I intend to use a new preworkout. So, I'm not exactly sure how relevant this is for me.

Yeah that's black coffee with an intermittent fast that helps tap into fat reserves for energy faster (all glycogen deplete). If you had a recent meal, or there's enough blood sugar to use as energy, your body will rarely use fat metabolism - regardless of supplements. (I'm a biomedical researcher).

@@stevePDx The way I eat, it's intermittent fasting not even by choice. The 8-16 cycle of intermittent fasting, which is good because that's how my eating schedule is by default.

So it’s definitely possible to make some sort of focus/pre-workout supplement without the needed caffeine, even though that’s usually the main driver of a pre-workout product.

Pre workout the caffeine isnt the main ingredient in my opinion(yes there is increased heart rate Etc). The caffeine is only for increased concentration for the brain. As a powerlifter, this does correlate to my lifts, as When visualising the pre lift when I have a higher level of concentration I am more likely to perform better. But not conclusive point, just personal experience. Things like Beta alanine, other amino ingredients will factor the real “physiological changes” decreasing muscle fatigue.

I can still easily get up to 200g of protein a day without touching any shakes and by just eating right. But if you are short on time it might not be a bad idea to blend a quick smoothie for some easy protein. But generally try to prefer real food over protein shakes.

Caffeine is really the magic drug fot people who don't have complications.

@MostKnownUnKnown91 Год назад

It depends..

@Keon994 Год назад

I find caffeine helps me get through workouts by making me feel more energetic. I don't take it for any raw performance enhancing benefits. If anything I could probably lift more by quitting caffeine because I would be more able to concentrate. Caffeine makes me a tiny bit scatterbrained.

Drank my pre moments ago. Now im laying on bench press falling asleep.

Basically do it for the feeling rather than treating it as an actually useful pre workout or supplement like creatine. If you like it, great. But its not necessary or very helpful

@Hypocrisy.Allergic Год назад

Non caffeine pre workout is the best. You still get the good tasting beverage before workout without burning your adrenals.

I used preworkout for about a year thinking it was doing something, then I decided to stop and make my own with 15g EAA's, 10g Creatine and 600mg caffeine, I feel better , save money and get more protein now! Based on my experience preworkout's really don't do anything.

study lost me at n=24. how are you supposed to measure any statistical significance?

@beangate Год назад

Yeah I feel like this study is kind of looking at the wrong stuff... Caffeine for me at least helps in the later stages of the workout where i may feel too tired to get extra work in. I personally only use pre-workout when i am struggling to get in the gym, kind of locking myself into a sunken cost fallacy "well i spent a preworkout serving, I HAVE to work out now!"

@gustopher6500 Год назад

Exactly, I feel the same way about caffeine and it makes sense with how caffeine works, caffeine prevents you from getting tired, doesn't necessarily give you more energy.

My preworkout is literally just a caffeine pill, some sports drink, and a light, carby and protein rich breakfast lmao

@user-hn5er7jz6u Год назад

Of course it won't give you power, strength or extra endurance. Instead it will fill you with focus and will, so you can visualize your muscles better and get rid of any distractions.

What is the most energizing caffeine-free preworkout?

@nolesy34 Год назад

Possibly; a green tea Herbs .. (but ones like Yerba freind) Chilli (helps speed metabolism) Glass of fruit juice Vitamin c Beta alanine Citruline (Last two will help that pump)

Coffee before my workout is an effective pre-workout because it restores my will to live and tolerate the bleak existence that is modern society.

I believe that drinking coffee obsessivelly every day is bad but once in a while for a change is actually great.

@mski907 Год назад

The reason they did better is because they were so excited they didn’t have to wait in line for the bench or the leg press

@st.michaelsknight6299 Год назад

That frankly sounds like a badly done study. Small sample size, and blinding the researchers like that denied them the data of tracking over multiple days
