That was a horrible, horrible, horrible, drunk. Heart rate around 500. Room spinning. You want to pass out from the Jaeger but you can't because you're fucking heart is about to blow out through the back of your chest.
Try Redbull. Do 8 cans in 5 hoursplained wrote:i hadnt realized there were so very many diff ones!
ive never tried any![]()
i occaisionally slam 1/2 a jamaican ginger beer if i'm torqueing in the heat of something, its got plain sugar and gives me energy with a nice bite!
maybe i should try one, whats the plainest one?
I've just gotten to the point now where coffee in the morning isn't so appealing. August in NC, go figure.R00k wrote:I hardly ever drink energy drinks. The only time I ever do is when I'm going out at night and don't have much energy. In that case I'll usually get a red bull and vodka, and that gives me all the bump I need.
But I've only done that maybe twice in the last 4-5 months.
I drink 2 cups of coffee in the morning (I've cut back a little), and usually a coca cola classic with lunch, and one later with dinner. Aside from that, I just drink water all day, and occasionally some OJ in the morning.
Sound advice, but make it an even dozen.Doombrain wrote:Try Redbull. Do 8 cans in 5 hoursplained wrote:i hadnt realized there were so very many diff ones!

I found that drinking a Monster Lo-Carb before hitting the dojo keeps me feeling more energetic during sparring at the end of class. Last Friday night I rolled with five guys in a row for a total of about 12 minutes straight, and only the last guy was able to pass my guard. Heh, dude still couldn't tap me out, either.![]()
Oh, and if anyone thinks that sparring for 12 minutes isn't a big deal, try it. Especially when one of the guys weighs 260lbs.

5 hour energy shots are the best. Im not a big fan of energy drinks tho.Nightshade wrote:Anyone here have a favorite brand? It's damn hot down here in the dirty south and I've been looking into some different energy drinks. I tried a 5 Hour Energy Shot on Wednesday and it was great. I drank it at about 5:45PM and felt great all through jiu-jitsu class, didn't feel tired until about midnight. No crash, no jitters, just felt alert and energized. I think it helped my endurance slightly, but it's definitely no substitute for good cardio conditioning.
I drank a Monster Lo-Carb today, it tasted great and worked well, for about two hours. Dozed off in my cube right after lunch. I'm trying to avoid drinks with shitloads of sugar and caffeine, that's why I liked that 5 Hour drink, tons of B vitamins, ginseng, and taurine.
Suggestions?
that's actually pretty good, but doing redbulls all night is moronix.Duhard wrote:Some people I know mix Red Bull with Vodka all night long in clubs
