What's going on? Welcome to the fit, healthy, happy, muscular, strong, aesthetic Jack podcast.

I'm your host, KG, here with my co-host.

This is being a rough one. I think we tried to film an intro about 10 times today. It's a silly mood, right?

Yeah, I mean, I'm pretty fired up. I'm drinking a coffee,

so, I mean, every single man box Monday, you've probably heard me say I'm fired up, so here we are. I was going to say, I think for the 100th episode, it should just be you saying I'm fired up because I'm drinking a coffee. I'm always fired up. A loop. I wonder if I'd be as fired up right now I wasn't drinking a coffee.

Probably mindset, but it helps.

Well, actually, so Kyle had a second coffee. He's a bad boy today. I'm trying to cut it down because Josh is trying to cut it down. And I know I should. But like, it's just different when you're so used to something. It's hard to. So here's why I'm trying to cut it down. Let's hear it. Okay, and we're going to do a really good video or podcast on caffeine soon, so you know that's something to look forward to. We want to kind of, you know, really do some research as to how much does benefit athletic performance, although I can't answer that kind of right now nice and suffice like, if that makes sense. So a that you know to get the maximum yield from

caffeine you need to have about 450 milligrams in a three hour time period if I

remember correctly which is pretty absurd like that is a significant amount of

coffee or of caffeine rather that'd be like a solid four coffees right yeah so

like some pre-workouts are jacked up to 350

but once again this is where studies did show that you know most significant

amount of benefit but saying so obviously you know even a little bit if it

gets you mentally focused and awake you will yield results from that but regardless

I start my day off with one cup in the morning about 7 7 a.m. 6.55. It's one of the first things I'll have is, you know, I just like to unwind with that coffee. And then we go to the gym for about 9.30. And recently, obviously, since we're not with E.HP, I went ahead and bought some C4, as I've mentioned before. And, you know, I've just really enjoyed that.

So I bought, too.

I bought the normal C4 pre-workout, which is about 110 milligrams of caffeine. And then I bought the more intense one that I think is around 300s. I'm not 100% sure. But there's two types. So, yeah, the intense one I use on compound days. So days where I do squats or deadlifts, and I really need that little,

just that little mf, right?

Like something just to get me, you know, gassed up out there so I can, because I'm out there lifting like 1,000 pounds, you know, for reps.

Yeah, I mean, well, when you add in maybe five of your squats.

It actually is nuts. Like, I mean, if you get, like, an app to kind of count your, uh... Sometimes I hit 200 for five. But if you... If you actually get the app and you add up your volume, it's kind of cool to see what you're moving. You know, I found, like, most leg and back days, I'd move, like, near 100,000 pounds of total tonnage. That's insane. Random side note, but I mean, it's always cool, you know, like, I like data. I find any data you can find it's always fun. I mean, I'm getting so sidetracks and I'm funny. But back to the actual pre-workout and the coffee. So normally I wasn't doing much of pre-workout.

You know, I do like cortiscove VHP Lott's pre because I hate it. It tastes so bad. Yeah, that's the one thing I could never push because I'm like, ugh. It's just like, it's a proprietary blend. And, you know, for those of you that are wondering what is a good pre-workout, So proprietary blend is basically just saying this is a cocktail of a bunch of stuff.
