When to take caffeine before workouts?

mrmark · 03-21-2007, 06:55 AM

I usually take ~200mg of caffeine 20 min before my workout having based this on previous experience.

However, on the flex website, it said it should be taken 1-2 hours before hand which I thought was crazy because most of it wil be metabolised by this time.

Do you guys think 20min is a good time?

Thanks!!!

well N.O-Xplode has caff. in it i think 200mg's a scoop. i take 3 scoops and that is plenty enough to get me up and going. plus i take 200-400mg in the morning too.

stick with an hour. it usually takes that long for it to peak.
