>Aim for 3-6 mg/kg of caffeine to body mass for performance enhancement
I fucking hate this study. Does anyone who cites it actually understands the practical implications of it?
As a 80 kg man, do you really expect me to fucking intake 480 mg of caffeine into my system to get some "performance boost"? All in one sitting? This shit is not only stupid but also dangerous. Almost everyone who would do that shit would get extreme anxiety and shaky hands, unless of course you are totally hooked up to this drug before and your tolerance is already super high. No one, I repeat NO ONE except for braindead zoomers addicted to their favorite tiktok influencer's preworkout would do that shit.
Just because a study showed a performance boost, it doesn't mean it translates to the real world. Do you know what's the maximum recommended daily intake by FDA? 400 mg. And even better if you spread it out throughout the day. Then why are people giving 6mg/kg of body weight as a good measurement. Do you know what's also known to cause a performance boost? Amphetamines. But you know what? Maybe it's not the smartest idea to drug yourself up just to bench 5 more kilograms. Yet somehow people will recommend taking almost HALF A GRAM of caffeine to get a better workout, because a study said so. This is not the first time I saw people try to use it as a good argument and it's fucking infuriating to see it repeated over and over without one conscious thought about what have you just read. Just blindly repeating what the study told you.
