Another energy drink question.

tannywild · 12-28-2006, 02:26 PM

I have researched the info on energy drinks, but here's my question.

I have problems gettin the energy I need. Between my job, my girlfriend, working out, and paying bills I'm spent. So, recently I've tried some caffeine alternatives to coffee..

Energy drinks. More specifically, Rockstar. Not the diet shit, most diet drinks are packed with more and more sucralose (swoon) just to flavor it up, I'll pass. So I just drink the normal Rockstar stuff. Usually 1 a day before I goto work just to keep me awake.

How much will this hinder my performance, I'm currently bulking. Just got done with a 6 month cut (Was going into the Navy, fate said otherwise). Now I'm back on the gain again. I still retained my strength, just lost about 30 lbs. I consider my cut a success.

So... back to the topic. Rockstar, will it hurt me that much? Just 1 a day? I take alot of other supplements.. Consists of:

BCAA's
Creatine / AKG
Tribex (the blue pill, yay)
Whey / EFAs
and I definetly eat as healthy as possible (I wont touch pizza, burgers. Namely I eat chicken, eggs, brocolli, asparagus, oatmeal).

I'm almost considering it to be my one negative. If I just maintain and eat healthy, then 1 Rockstar isn't going to shit a brick on me.

Thoughts? Input? Thanks!

Why do you think the diet Rockstar will bother you? It has a whole whopping 10 cals per serving. I love the stuff.
