Hi guys.

Just wanted to get you guys' take on this.

I have about 200mg of caffeine per day from various sources.

People are saying that it can lead to a insulin resistance and therefore makes it harder to build mass.

Has anyone here managed to bulk successfully on a high caffeine intake?

Do you feel that caffeine does limit your gains?

Thanks.

200mg a day is nothing. I wouldn't worry about it. I take 800-1200mg a day and have no problems unless I take it too late in the day.

Damn, man. You take over a gram of caffeine a day? I'm wired off of 200mg's.

If I take it too late I don't. I believe a serving of nitor is 600mg or so. If I take it after 1-2 then I'm up till atleast midnight. When I was using an EC stack I would take 200mg caff with 25mg ephedra 3x a day + diet sodas, coffee, etc.
