I did that for a few months when i was 16

Allowed my normal pullup to skyrocket

Zero 2025/9/18 17:52
Yeah just scapular pull, not a full pull up, At the moment I’m doing bodyweight and pyramid up to +10kg for like a top set of 3 Followed by weighted negatives for 10 seconds 3x4 Followed by weighted scapular pull-ups with an isometric hold for 4 seconds at +45kg
17:52
So far this has over the last two weeks enabled me to start doing really explosive pull-up with body weight

the efficacious dose is 3-6mg/kg (edited)
20:45
so you could 400mg or more

But, as you've not had much experience with caffeine it does make sense to go on lower end first

You shouldn't need to take it before driving anyways

Because, you ideally get to the competition 30-60 minutes before your competition starts

You're at a bigger advantage by taking caffeine than not if It improves your performance even by 1% in competitive situations.
22:44
Because that can literally be the difference between winning or losing
22:44
Unless you don't care that much about placing, in which case why compete or bother taking these kind of stuff anyway

Avatar
Leigh 2025/9/18 22:45
then you need to know how it impacts sleep
22:45
But that would also be somewhat irrelevant because caffeine shouldn't really impact your ability to fall asleep by that much
22:45
What it really effects when it comes to sleep is your deep sleep
22:45
and people always forget this

well no you just weren't aware it effects deep sleep and not light sleep as such

Weed and alcohol do the same

What caffeine does is blocks adenosine receptors
22:48
it binds to them
22:49
acts as an antagonist
22:49
Which means adenosine can no longer bind
22:49
Adenosine is the compound responsible for people feeling sleepy

Anyone did any sort of fitness cert before? Which one to recommend? Just for self training, maybe for some part time or freelance trainer job. I need some solid knowledge about how to train in a scientifically way… got too tired of watching videos that contradict themselves and trying new techniques and fail
