    Yeah you can definitely use caffeine effectively to boost performance, which professional sportspeople and I guess your boyfriend does. It's just some people don't and think it's some magic calorie burning elixir that will get them to a super low body fat percentage quickly and easily. There was recent controversy about a big soccer team getting lots of their players diagnosed with something so they could take more caffeine, for an example of professional sportspeople using it. And bodybuilders as you said. Just don't be out there chugging 10 monsters a day or something lol.

      300mg of caffeine is what he says he does, which is like 3 cups of coffee/monsters :shrug-outta-hecks: hes also like 280 pounds of pure muscle so that means not much for his bodyweight

      big part of a bodybuilder is keeping the calories flowing and getting oxygen to your muscles. he eats easy to digest foods and stuff and the caffeine helps keep the conveyor belt flowing. like i said hes an absurdly big dude, like could compete and potentially win, he just doesnt do it cause he thinks cutting/dehydration is unhealthy and itd take too much of his time up

      hes picked me up and thrown me like 15 feet onto a bed with like no effort :soviet-heart:

        Yeah exactly for his body weight that's perfectly healthy and fine, your boyfriend definitely knows what he's doing there lol. There's a difference between what he does, based on actual science and healthy, and some bro science guy chugging 1000s of mg of caffeine pills and 5 bang energy drinks a day lol.
