So as you have many things to do, you drink an energy drink. WHAT DO YOU DRINK?
For me, it's a Burn or a Redbull.
And you?

I hate it but I love it. I wish I could stop drinking it but then I feel horrible the whole day.

Monster.
I don't like it but really really don't like it. I can't drink more than half a can, i don't know why

But the VR46 edition of Monster is pretty good.

I KNEW there was a reason I loved you..
I pretty much cut all carbonated energía because they were wrecking my grill.. not like cavities, but like my teeth were getting headaches. And the artificial sweeteners in low carb but carbonated MONSTER |||™ options give me an instant migraine
So I'm team REHAB™
Need two in the morning just to get me back to normal, ya feel me?

Best thing I have ever found is N.O. Xplode. I used to use this when I was doing Ironman training. This stuff is amazing! No jitters, no liquid crack feeling, just hyper awareness and tons of energy! Stay away from the lemonade flavor - best is the blue raz. Don't take this stuff late in the day!

Post by: neverused on Wed, 26 August 2015, 22:37:05
I was pretty much addicted to energy drinks when I was working graveyard (1-2 per day of anything that was sugar free and on sale). I am now down to 3-4 cups of coffee throughout the day and only an energy drink when I am really dragging.Three scoops give you the ****s. Get those out of the way early on squat day or you'll regret it.

I do this all the time, just cause I like it. I use sparkling water too when I have it. I'm not sure if I notice that it gives me energy, but it tastes great!

i did freshly squeezed lemon + honey for a while. it's a nice mellow boost and makes your stomach feel good, but i like the kick from coffee first thing in the AM so I didn't really stick with the lemon honey water. also, lemon juice is pretty rough on your teeth. i drank it out of a straw.

I drink my own cold brew coffee. I don't cut it with anything but a few ice cubes so it's a super strong concentrate, you cannot shine a light through it at all even after its filtered.
I make my own too. I thought I'd like the concentrate, but it's just terrible. I usually dilute it 2:1. Most coffee shops do half and half, but that's way too watery imho.

It'll put hair on your chest that's for sure. I brew for about 14 hours and that's just about right for me. What ratio/setup do you use?
