Hey there, fitness fanatics!
Have you been on the fence about whether or not you should be using caffeine in your supplement routine, or even wondering if you should be consuming any caffeine at all?
Well, it’s time to put your questions about this ultra-common pick-me-up to rest. As published in the Journal of Strength Conditioning Research, Brazilian scientists led by Beatriz Ribeiro have discovered that 6 milligrams of caffeine per kilogram of body weight increased the power output of team handball players by 5.3 percent. (And in case you’re curious, team handball is an Olympic sport that’s kind of like a cross between soccer and basketball.) Even with this increased power output, the players did not suffer more muscle damage during their training. 30 to 60 minutes pre-workout is the ideal time for power athletes and bodybuilders to take caffeine. Thanks for watching! Check back tomorrow for more tips and breakthroughs in physical fitness from your friends at XP Labs!
