    Caffeine sensitivity?

    Before I started to get into the whole gym thing, I didn't really pay any attention to my diet - it was a lot of KFC and burgers. And I drank cola usually - 1.5 liters a day was not uncommon. Nowdays, all I usually drink is water. When I started to get serious, I decided to just ditch anything that wasn't water pretty much, and went cold turkey on the cola for months, and also at the time figured cutting out caffeine was a good idea.
    Dropped from about 23% BF down to 12% in the space of around 3 months eating and drinking right. (Well, a lot better anyway).
    However, doing more research into caffeine, it looks like it may actually be a good thing to have in the bloodstream in some instances. In the last month I would have had maybe 2 coffees, and 3 cans of coke. That has been the sum total of the caffeine I have had in that time. Anyway, ordered some caffeine tabs online - 200mg per tablet. Had one yesterday afternoon, had lunch and watched a movie. Nearly fell asleep half way through the movie. Today, took 2 tablets to see what effect that had, about a half hour before hitting the gym. Not only did it seem to have no effect, but I actually cut the session short as I just didn't have any power there to lift.
    Am I just insensitive to caffeine? Anyone else? Anything else there is that I can do to give that extra stimulant for when I get into the gym?? BTW, I am not a big guy, so in theory that sort of dose should have a lot more effect on me I would have thought.

    Congrats on the weightloss. As a former "big boy" who used to be obsessed with coke, pepsi and all that other unhealthy shit, I can sympathize with you.

    Now in regards to caffeine and tolerance, you might have developed it. Long term ingestion of coke (sugars) at that high amount can lead to adrenal burnout. I know that some people consider this a myth, but it can happen especially if you eat a lot of refined food (like you say you did). Going cold turkey is rough, but sometimes the best way to go.

    What I would suggest to you, from my experience of cycling stims and thermos for years, is to try and take the caffeine on an empty stomach. Some people get a major buzz off of 5-hour energy, some don't get shit from 10 cups of coffee.

    If you are interested in a good "stack" look into making an E/C/A stack. It will definitely help.
