as much as i have tried to stay away from caffine, i every issue of men's health talks about the beneficial affects of it. boosts your metabolism and helps you lift longer at the gym. so i'm going to drink coffee on the days that i lift (4 days of the week). mon tues, thurs, fri. this way i won't have a big withdrawl on saturdays. and also, i'd like to do cardio without the caffine so i'd have to plan my cardio on wed, and sundays.
