In addition to or in lieu of the Adderall?

Don't forget the nic

Triad of stims genz uses

This is for sports performance, not amassing a vast porn collection and then meticulously organizing it by categories, genre, sequence, and creative title.

Andrew Huberman discussed the science behind caffeine and the circumstances under which it can lead to improved athletic performance. Long story short: even if you're a regular Caffeine user, taking a day or two break, and timing your caffeine intake to an hour or 90 minutes prior to performing gets the best results. I do it with Mate and my performance in sports goed through the roof

[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 27 points 8 months ago

Even better than caffeine for performance is METH!

[-] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Unironically, yeah. Amphetamines were one of the first drugs they started piss testing for in organized sports

[-] Chadus_Maximus@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

LMAO. I tried this advice. You go though caffeine withdrawals, but like, perpetually. It never ends.

[-] Doll_Tow_Jet-ski@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago

Yeah when I stop drinking mate for a day or two I get slight headaches. The more caffeine you take daily the harder it is to quit it cold turkey

For someone that's 175lbs, that's like 5 Diet Cokes

[-] Drunemeton@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

That 2.5 cups of coffee.

[-] moody@lemmings.world 19 points 8 months ago

How many of these players were already regular caffeine users? How many of them were withdrawing when they were tested without caffeine?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I'd have to drink twice the daily recommended limit to achieve 3mg/kg. Finally I have the answer to "have I had too little or too much to be good"; I'm having too little. 😔

[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 12 points 8 months ago

I generally see the limit being 400mg/day.

So that makes you 266kg/586lbs?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Average gamer 🤷🏻‍♂️

(I was thinking pounds when I wrote that 🤣)

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

That's amateur numbers.

[-] arymandias@feddit.de 8 points 8 months ago

And what about 10 mg/kg? (asking for a friend)

[-] xkforce@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK223789/

TLDR: doses 10 times that can kill. Several symptoms of caffeine poisoning are often apparent at doses of 15+ mg/kg

[-] arymandias@feddit.de 7 points 8 months ago

Ah so my friend can actually increase his caffeine intake by 50%? Good to know

[-] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 7 points 8 months ago

I'd buy that. I like to take caffeine and L-theanine before I game

[-] picnicolas@slrpnk.net 3 points 8 months ago

I break open a couple L-theanine capsules into my cold brew carafe when I’m making a fresh batch. It’s like tea but rocket fuel.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Tea butt rocket fuel?

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 6 points 8 months ago

Caffeine gives me terrible headaches that last for days. I envy you guys that are about to take advantage of it.

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 7 points 8 months ago

For me it's the opposite. When i get migraines the only thing that helps is an overdose of caffeine.

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 16 points 8 months ago

Perhaps withdrawal symptoms

[-] dfc09@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

I doubt it. Migraine specific pain medicine often has caffeine in it. I get ocular migraines every year or so and goodies or Excedrin migraine (just a blend of nsaids, acetaminophen, and caffeine) do a good job

[-] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Both can be true at the same time. Caffeine can help with migraines but the main reason it‘s in the meds is to speed up the effect of other substances. At the same time regular consumption of caffeine (coffee, energy drinks etc.) can lead to withdrawal symptoms and give you bad headaches more often. But we‘re all built a little different and some people have much milder caffeine withdrawals than others.

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 1 points 8 months ago

I had an ocular migraine once, i was blind for 2 hours it was not good.

I would hate to have them regularly im sorry for you

[-] dfc09@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

It's ok! Over the years I've learned a lot of tricks to help me deal with them, and notice when they're coming on. They've also slowed down in frequency quite a bit as I age.
