      I was surpised not to see this question addressed when I ran a search. Do any of you have any research info on the positives and negatives of coffee before a workout? Thanks.

      I just read an article about how many bb'ers where drinking coffee before workouts for the extra boast from the caffeine. Think it was in an issue of MD. Just watch what you put in the coffee....skip the sugar/cream. I drink iced coffee w/ fat free half and half or ff milk and always equal instead of sugar.

      caffeine within two hours of a workout helps to boost the metabolism and increases fat loss.....drink it black- take it like a man!...i get a Starbucks venti (large for those in the boonies) ice coffee before every workout...im addicted!

      I'm not sure about the research aspect of your question, but I like drinking coffee before my workout. I agree with Cwb, just watch what you put into it.

      I totally agree. I use caffeine on days that I don't feel psyched up in order to get me "energized" about 20 minutes before my workout.

      By the way... if I drink copious amounts of caffeine, it FLUSHES my digestive system and gives me slight intestinal cramps. Does anyone else get this effect from caffeine?
      I know nothing about any of this insanity... it's just a fun game to me.

      I'm glad I'm not the only freak... I typically drink some caffeine before I sprint... get rid of that "extra" weight!
