I would have to say bad, but I'm completely not certain.

Coffee is a diuretic. Chug double the amount of the coffee you drink, in water, before you start your workout. Otherwise, it's good -- a bit of sugar, and some caffiene to get you going.

I've heard that it slightly reduces gains, but I don't know how credible the source is.

And shit, whatever gains are reduced, you should make up for with increased intensity.

I drink 1-2 cups before I lift.

coffee is for fags, enjoy needing coffee every morning because you're addicted. just get your fucking diet in order if you need "to get started" in the morning. faggots.

I've heard stories of people running in the marathon stage of the ironman taking caffine at mile 16 for that little extra boost.

caffeine a few minutes before a workout is a godsend. lots of people that I train powerlifting with will drink an energy drink while training.

I personally take caffeine pills about 20 minutes before I lift.

I fucking love coffee but it sometimes gives diarrhea. Not a risk that I would want to take when lifting heavy weights.

I'm probaly the only person with a coffee allergy. It's like life itself hates me.

If it gets you motivated, it's good.

Just make sure its black coffee with no sugar, otherwise it will be working against you from the extra calories

Drink gobs of green tea. Still stimulates you, and is cheap.
