The #1 most effective legal performance enhancing drug.
I believe high levels of caffeine is an illegal performance enhancer in Track & Field. Likely not in the NFL. But considering how big this guy is, 2 cans probably isn't that much.
Yep, there is a limit. (So so easy to look this stuff up by the way)
Reason for Myocarditis in vaccinated teens : maybe Red Bull or similar drinks?

According to the USADA's website, WADA does not limit caffeine, although the NCAA does:
Is Caffeine Prohibited in Sport?
No, caffeine is permitted in sports governed by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). It is currently on WADA’s monitoring list which means it is not prohibited but WADA is monitoring it in case it becomes an anti-doping issue in the future. However, there are limits to the amount of caffeine athletes can use in NCAA sanctioned events. Please check directly with the NCAA for the relevant anti-doping rules.
https://www.usada.org/spirit-of-sport/science/substance-profile-caffeine/Assuming they are the standard 8oz cans, it’s only 160 mg of caffeine and 220 calories. It’s hardly a dangerous drink. A decent size cup of coffee has about the same amount of caffeine.
I drink a coffee or a Red Bull before almost every run and sometimes a gel with caffeine during a long run. It absolutely helps performance, at least for me.
I’ve been drinking Red Bull fairly regularly (3-4 per week) for over 20 years, and I am in great health. Blood pressure is perfect, BMI of 20, RHR in the high 40s.
In the past few years, I switched to more coffee than Red Bull to cut down on the sugar.
If he was drinking 2 Redlines or 2 16 oz Monsters, that would be a little more extreme.
What is wrong with red bull?
Caffeine and a little sugar make sense before a hard workout.
hes also an average runner who only got a contract because of his social media following, so no shock here
His household in general seems to have serious problems with nutrition choices.
What kind of nutrition do you think the average NBA player consumed leading up to making it? They are some of the best athletes in the world and many lived on fast food and soda/Gatorade.
My bro in law was an Olympic level swimmer and ate junk food all the time but was still ripped. Once he quit swimming he gained 50 lbs in a matter of two years.
If you train hard enough, nutrition is overrated. At least what we consider proper nutrition.

I'm knocking on the door of greatness!"
You clearly have no idea how eating disorders work.
he's just keeps continuing to embarrass brooks with his diet, performance, and excuses

What are his average times though. It seems like every time he races it goes sub par and there's some excuse for it.
Nasty
Danny knows nothing but science
how do you guys know what he eats? Does he post all of his meals?
centro loves candy
Is The Special Athlete back on the East Coast yet?
He's posted another video on YouTube. Feels like Leaving Las Vegas.
Where is it stated that he has 2 of them before workouts? I doubt it. Red Bull sponsors plenty of endurance athletes. It's handed out in races. Caffeine does help performance. Not advocating for it but maybe balance your hate of TAS with someone who is sponsored plugging their sponsor when they prolly don't religiously use the product.
