How many mg's of Caffeine is too much?

[sanugz]

200mg= 1 cup of coffee....

I'd say anythng above this...is a no no.. thats just me though. If you must take a large amount of caffeine..spread it throughout the day.

You drink some real strong coffee. I'd say an average one cup is about 50-75mg. I am stim tolerant but I usually stay within the 250-300 mg range.

I'm sure there have been days I've taken in around 800mg. Right now I'm at around 3-400 on workout days though. Plan to continue cutting it down until. I hit ec again.

I take around 1000mg of caffeine a day give or take a little. i always feel fine but if i dont take around this much i feel like i cant make it through my day. i dont have a racing heart beat or any negative side effects other than crashing around 12-1 am in the morning. but to wake up at 6am usually and work all day i think thats quite normal. am i hurting myself more than helping?

[Austinp55]

I take about 200mg a day. I workout for about 1 1/2 hours a day and play bball about 2 hours a few times a week and that amout of caffeine is perfect

Why the hell did you bump this 1.5 year old thread?

Also...you're doing it wrong.

5-6 hours of sleep? Reliance upon a drug in order to make it through your day? And you are seriously asking for advice?

Not sure if serious...

[Cheese3216]

i wouldnt take more than 300mg MAX at a time (200mg is good)
and i wouldnt take more than 400 in a day

but that's just my opinions

[KimJong-il]

The title says it all, How many mg's of caffeine in a day is too many? Also does anyone know how many mg's of caffeine are in a scoop of Jack3d?

I probably have about a gram of caffeine a day, Im totally addicted to coffee. I feel fine though.

[udt123]

I know it's bad but I take around 1500-2000 a day on squatting days =(

[thedarce]

2g a day WOW

on thanksgiving/brack friday i had about a gram of caffeine and how ever much 1,3 is in 3 capsules of app nut's black cats.

Why so much?

[JungleCat]

I prefer to never go over 300mg of caffeine.

200mg????? what kind of coffee are you drinking!!

[JohnSmeton]

Personally I never use caffeine as I just like to be totally stim free and like the calmness of my body this way. That said, when I really have a goal to achieve I know something like the ec stack can help me achieve fat loss faster, Il migghtgo up to 20e/200c two times daily at the most. I have done 20/200 once a day with decent results. Moreover, it seems to take my body weeks to work up in dose from nothing like taking 3 weeks or so just to hti 200-300 grams. Furthermore, if I have no special goal to achieve my preference is caffeine. I am not saying once in a bluemoon I am dragging ass I might get some, I just prefer my body being without it.

This year, When I was training on hard days like back or legs I have taken maniac and the caffiene content is pretty low in that.

another alternative may be raspberry ketones, When I took that solo it seems to work fairly decently for dropping a bit of body fat, without reducing calories, and that was a plus.

Hey you negged me for my profile picture. Don't hate on another, you might be lonely and jealous of us who can get women. Put more stock into yourself and less into hating others who have what you wish you did. You might actually might be able to pull things around for yourself.

Take it easy buddy.

Nobody wants to see you in your hollister collared shirt at 33 years old shoving your tongue down a 4/10's throat trying to gain approval from members of a bodybuilding forum for being a "ladies" man.

And if you really think I am lonely and jealous, go make a thread in the misc calling me out and we can both upload spoon pics of our girl and we will see who the "jealous" one actually is. Pepper your angus *******.

[RugbyTank]

some times maybe out of the 2/3 doses of E/C I would take 3-eph. and 2-caffeine ... So around 1000/day . I never did 2caps for every serving though just 2/3.
Nothing bad happened.

BTW, Nice Bump /m\

[omaron91]

There is a great book called the caffeine advantage and supposedly 600mg a day is healthy even 800. a starbucks grande has 600mg of caffeine. It really just depends on the person IMO.

True, Caffeine tolerance increases pretty high with some people, I've drank 4- energy drinks 2-nos and like 2-amped or something and i'm still kicking : ) or kindy anyways lol ><

I am not sure I could have done that but glad to see it worked out for you. I see tons of kids just downing those energy drinks.

Yeah it became a habit after only being able to study at night time or getting up to work for 01:30-08:00 then get to class by 11:45-17:30

Coffee is not convenient and pill form caffeine just doesn't have the effect

[817boy]

im glad someone bumped this thread, i was gonna start a thread just like this.

I was gonna buy a pre-workout supplement but instead went to walmart and got caffeine pills. 200mg per pill, on the label it says 200mg = average cup of coffee.

I have been taking them 3x a week, 30 mins before workout. and i cant tell a difference at all. I thought about uping the dose to 2 pills but after reading this thread, i decided not to, i never drink coffee or soda.

Ya, i take caffeine pills b/c of E/C stack but in all honestly I don't feel it keeps me awake or gives me energy , as if i drank a cup of coffee or energy drink.

in all honestly, i'm just believing E/C works, the only thing i've noticed with e/c is that its cheap and curbs my appetite some times or makes me nauseated if i'm on the bus for 1hour+

I'd rather see a dude kissing a woman in a collared shirt than a dude with his shirt off any day of the week. I'm not a ******* so don't judge me for that not being one. *******.
