There's been some chatter in the past about pre-workout caffeine reducing the effect of the Anaconda protocol. Has anyone come to any sort of conclusion?

My question is...if one were to consume the Finibars 30 minutes prior for the first protocol, or consume the first dosage of the second protocol 10 minutes prior to working out, would having a can of Spike in between, reduce the effectiveness of either protocol?

This may be impossible to answer, but just wondering what the latest thoughts on this were.

I would be very interested in hearing an answer to this as well. Ive always heard rumors about the effects of caffeine pre workout being potentially harmful but i cant decide if the added focus and energy boost makes up for it.

This depends on one's insulin sensitivity and sensitivity to caffeine, so there is no universal recommendation that works equally well for everyone.

Depending on how heavy my WO will be I take 1 or 2 Spike tabs and a quad espresso and have used ANACONDA during WO taking one scoop at -10 WO and then another scoop during WO, usually have my best WO's that way.
Remember it's 10mg caffeine per kilo BW for correct dosage. I am close to that with the espresso and 2 Spike - oh yeah Power Drive is in the mix too.
