A: Chug 4 cups of coffee or 400 milligrams of caffeine
According to a new study, you’ll get a better workout in if you chug FOUR CUPS OF COFFEE right before you hit the gym.
Researchers in Brazil gave people 400 milligrams of caffeine . . . which is roughly like four small cups of coffee, or two Five Hour Energy drinks. And they performed about 3% better than they did without caffeine.
3% doesn’t sound like much, but a little boost like that can make a big difference after a while. And it also helped burn more fat.
400 milligrams of caffeine is the upper limit of what you’re supposed to have per DAY though. So if you want to try it, you should only drink coffee before your workout, and skip it the rest of the day.
The people in the study didn’t actually drink coffee though. They took caffeine PILLS.
