Coffee during peak week

[Lillerch112]

Just wondering if coffee during peak week was OK if not any reason why?

Why wouldn't coffee be ok?

i just did a show last week and i was going to do another one in three weeks and the coach doing my prep told me no coffee or gum during peak week just felt like crap without it wondered if it was going to hurt if i drank it

I think coffee is discouraged since it is a diuretic, but I drank it during peak week and looked and felt great. Of course my water intake was above 2 gallons a day too, so I was very lean and well hydrated. I also used sugar free gum, and no bad effects to report. Next time i say use coffee and gum moderately, see if it makes any difference. We all react differently and at least you are using things your body is already used to processing...

There are somethings that really aren't going to make any difference whatsoever. I knew a guy who didn't brush his teeth the last 2 days before a show so he wouldn't absorb any sodium from the toothpaste.

Go have a cup of coffee and chew some sugar-free gum.

Not a problem.
