Obviously time, food ingestion, and the individuals biological factors contribute heavily to the urine concentration and levels peak in different individuals at different times.
Either way doses around the 300mg level usually have the best response, while getting up to around 1000mg will cause a variety of adverse effects to the body outweighing any benefits.
And yea tamfb, its a lot, haha and I have high blood pressure as well, a lot of my old teammates also said my heart would explode.
Plus you have to be careful about dehydration with a lot of caffeine, plus the creatine dose was about 2-3times the normal so cramps were a concern, but when executed properly it definately lowered my times.
I always found with powerdrive, it had to be about a hour before to let my stomach settle, and the caffeine(200mgpill) needed to be about 45 minutes before. Most people seem to be different with when they timed the stuff. But I know for me unless I timed both right, i’d be either way to jacked or just feel sick to my stomach.
For sprints and jumps I reckon stimulants are the only things you need pre-comp, apart from obviously a good meal or two. I don’t know too much about them, but caffeine seems to be popular, probably 'cos it works. Pseudoephedrine is legal now too…
