Is coffee bad for working out??

[retired_Marko_JJ]

Ive heard rumors that coffee makes ur abs soft and stuff like that... is this true? does it effect your muscles?

nope. i wouldn't put table sugar in yoru coffee though. not good carbs.

but no, coffee alone won't give you soft abs or (as my ex g/f's grandma once told me) turn your toenails black.

IDK about that. If the workout is 1/2 decent, that sugar would get burned up.

The only negative is that it will dehydrate you a bit. But wont be a problem if your drinking your RDI.

mok is right on with the dehydration, i love coffee but i try to consume at least as much water in a close time period

 

[abear]

It's more about all the stuff people put in their coffee over the coffee itself

Yeah but I"m personally just not a fan of too much white table sugar in the diet.

Neither am I, but a teaspoon before gym timeisn't going to compromise a person's gains.

There is one negitive thing with caffee. If you're a serious bodybuilder, you're obviously going to be working out for more than 30min, most likely 45 min - 1.5 hours, depending on your speed, and intensity.

After about 30 min of working out, the effect of caffeine begins to ware off, making you feel more fatigued than usaul.
