Holy 3-6mg of caffeine per kg is a shit ton. That’s 2-4 cups of coffee for me!

They list a study and more info on that page. Probably why almost all pre-workouts include caffeine. Some push for 300mg per serving.

Yohimbe gives some weird heart effects also.


That doesn’t seem a lot to me at all, and coffee seems to have health benefits up to doses exceeding that.

yeah that's a ridiculous amount. I'd be so jittery there's no way I'd be able to workout after taking that much. If I have more than one cup of coffee in a single sitting I get so anxious I can't even take proper deep breaths.


Seven for my ~140kg arse. Not sure how healthily this scales.


That sounds like some weak coffee. Espresso is about 150mg for a double shot I thought?


4 cups of coffee is considered a lot?
