how much is enough Caffeine as a pre-workout

[saltysteve 0]

Hey all,

 

Just wanted to know how much caffeine you'd use as a pre or even post workout.

 

Basically I've been making chewy caffeine + l-theanine candies for focus at work but I've had some feedback that people might like them for exercise. They are however only 20mg each and from what I read 150mg of caffeine is closer to a reasonable dose.

 

Has anyone experimented with smaller doses of caffeine? would a couple of candies have any real effect? 

I suppose the glucose would help with energy anyway, interested to hear your thoughts. 

 

 

 

P.S. Candies above are 'pina colada ' flavor

What effects do you get from 2g, that seems pretty crazy when a coffee is about 100 - 200mg.  Do you take that much regularly?

Around 1.4g was my top.

1-2 tsp of instant coffee, eaten dry. The taste wakes you up even faster than the caffeine does.
