And, holy crap, here's how much they used: 8 mg/kg body mass So, if I understand this correctly, an athlete with my weight (170 lbs = 77.11 kg) should drink about 617mg of caffeine. That's just under a four-pack of Monster. So the conclusion of this blog should read "drink two of your favorite energy drink before and two after." Except that these athletes had a team of medical types monitoring them as they did that, so you probably shouldn't try it at home.
