The last 1/3rd or so I feel like I don't have that extra bit in the tank to finish out sets though. Oftentimes I end up half-assing the last few sets so I can high tail it out of there and get some food.

Have you tried caffeine?

Also, you're supposed to feel tired at the end of your workout ;)

No, actually.

I tend to avoid anything that boosts energy. No coffee, energy drinks or preworkouts for me.

Why? Caffeine isn't just good for energy. It's a proven ergogenic. A modest amount may be enough to carry you through the end of your workout and will definitely help you lift more.

I'm a bit of a minimalist in most every facet of my life. I don't particularly like it and don't need it so..

I don't really have issues with energy levels and don't want to deal with the inevitable addiction.

I think you kinda do, based upon your previous post.

This is a fact not in evidence. We're not talking about heroin here.

Caffeine is the most addictive thing I've ever used. I'm a complete junkie for that shit. Can't get off it.

If it's not a cigarette or heroin, it's pretty ****ing close.

Silock 01-18-2015 03:39 AM

And have you used any *actually* addictive substances? I wouldn't, if I were you.

Way behind alcohol, slightly more addictive than pot. Nowhere on the same planet as nicotine or heroin.

I can't even go to the grocery store without sprinting over to the energy drink section. I'll even make up excuses to go the the store, knowing in the back of my mind that I'm really going there for the energy drink.

You ever suck dick for a Red Bull?

haha,

These things aren't that hard to break away from. I like a good green Monster Original about once per month - but that's about it. I can see how someone would like them all of the time. But also (i've been that person) I was addicted to Pomegranate RockStar for a few months - I kicked that habit very easily.

My closet cigar smoking is a bigger concern for myself.

You sound like a mental pussy if that's the case.

But we already knew that.

I only take Caffeine pre-workout. About 200 mgs. Otherwise, I never touch it.

I'm the same way man and I don't consider myself a mental pussy at all, but actually quite the opposite. I'm an OCD person that always mentally and physically in over drive and those help me keep going at that pace. It beats the hell out of being a fatty on the couch IMO.

If you need energy drinks that bad go see an adult ADHD specialist and get a scrip for adderall. Damn.

ThaVirus 01-18-2015 09:59 AM

I'm in my 20s and generally get 8-9 hours of sleep a night. I refuse to believe I have a problem with energy levels.

I may be able to curb my caffeine usage but it isn't necessary so I wouldn't even bother. Everyone that I know that drinks coffee or energy drinks on a daily basis gets headaches or can't make it through the day when they don't get their fix.. They're fiends.

Thought about it. Maybe try to score some meth to.
