Is it bad to drink energy drinks before workingout?
I drink Hammerhead and it has caffeine and I feel it helps me out by making me more focused.I herd you can have withdraws from caffeine which kinda makes me concerned.

Yeah, Ive devoured one from time to time. It varies which one Ill take, but I like Redline. It sure gets to the point fast and isnt a lot of fluid, which makes ME feel bloated.

Withdraws? Hmm. I know gettign energy levels back up and running is a bitch after a prolonged period of caffeine, but anything else i am not aware of since I am not affected beyond energy depletion.

i personally dont like energy drinks right before my workout. I prefer just a nitric oxide. I've been taking NaNOx9 from Muscletech for the past 20 days or so and have gotten pretty good pumps (on most days). Energy drinks on empty stomach = bad idea considering I dont eat at least about 1.5-2hrs before my gym workout.

I would keep it infrequent for the sake of CNS health. Otherwise, you increase the likelihood of overtraining and dependence.
