A caffeine supplementation of 3 mg/kg significantly improved performance of elite e-sports players, by enhancing reaction and shooting skills : science

ONLY among the desensitized!!

I can't even have a delicious decaf-coffee, because of how oversensitive I am to the damage that caffeine does.

( "decaf" coffee usually has about 4% of its caffeine left, ttbomk, it absolutely isn't 0% )

As for why on earth it'd do any damage/harm, caffeine blocks-access to subtler meditations/inner-yogas.

It's like not being able to breath: it blocks the whole category, and you never even know the category exists, until you earn access to it, through sattvic diet.

Forced to choose between delicious decaf coffee vs the meditations that are saving my health & life, .. sorry coffee, bye!

Nice copypasta.

I'd have to drink twice the daily recommended limit to achieve 3mg/kg. Finally I have the answer to "have I had too little or too much to be good"; I'm having too little. 😔

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I generally see the limit being 400mg/day.

So that makes you 266kg/586lbs?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

That's amateur numbers.

Average gamer 🤷🏻‍♂️

(I was thinking pounds when I wrote that 🤣)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

And what about 10 mg/kg? (asking for a friend)

TLDR: doses 10 times that can kill. Several symptoms of caffeine poisoning are often apparent at doses of 15+ mg/kg

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Ah so my friend can actually increase his caffeine intake by 50%? Good to know

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Caffeine gives me terrible headaches that last for days. I envy you guys that are about to take advantage of it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

For me it's the opposite. When i get migraines the only thing that helps is an overdose of caffeine.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Perhaps withdrawal symptoms

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I doubt it. Migraine specific pain medicine often has caffeine in it. I get ocular migraines every year or so and goodies or Excedrin migraine (just a blend of nsaids, acetaminophen, and caffeine) do a good job

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Both can be true at the same time. Caffeine can help with migraines but the main reason it‘s in the meds is to speed up the effect of other substances. At the same time regular consumption of caffeine (coffee, energy drinks etc.) can lead to withdrawal symptoms and give you bad headaches more often. But we‘re all built a little different and some people have much milder caffeine withdrawals than others.

I had an ocular migraine once, i was blind for 2 hours it was not good.

I would hate to have them regularly im sorry for you

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

It's ok! Over the years I've learned a lot of tricks to help me deal with them, and notice when they're coming on. They've also slowed down in frequency quite a bit as I age.

Andrew Huberman discussed the science behind caffeine and the circumstances under which it can lead to improved athletic performance. Long story short: even if you're a regular Caffeine user, taking a day or two break, and timing your caffeine intake to an hour or 90 minutes prior to performing gets the best results. I do it with Mate and my performance in sports goed through the roof

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

LMAO. I tried this advice. You go though caffeine withdrawals, but like, perpetually. It never ends.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah when I stop drinking mate for a day or two I get slight headaches. The more caffeine you take daily the harder it is to quit it cold turkey

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Even better than caffeine for performance is METH!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Unironically, yeah. Amphetamines were one of the first drugs they started piss testing for in organized sports

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

For someone that's 175lbs, that's like 5 Diet Cokes

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

That 2.5 cups of coffee.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago

How many of these players were already regular caffeine users? How many of them were withdrawing when they were tested without caffeine?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'd buy that. I like to take caffeine and L-theanine before I game

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I break open a couple L-theanine capsules into my cold brew carafe when I’m making a fresh batch. It’s like tea but rocket fuel.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Tea butt rocket fuel?

[–] [email protected] 42 points 9 months ago (2 children)

In addition to or in lieu of the Adderall?

This is for sports performance, not amassing a vast porn collection and then meticulously organizing it by categories, genre, sequence, and creative title.

Ah, another fan of the Stash App I see!
