Coffee as a Supplement - Bodybuilding, Caffeine, strength, and performance

[20superjason]

Where are you recording this?

[DukeHarnage]

caffeine can inlarge your heart...

[TELLTALERAVEN1]

@DukeHarnage That's so sweet!

[Chuggalugg]

@DukeHarnage

no, it can't. lol.

[AsumDude94]

caffeine is just shit. after 1 week when your body gets used to it, your head hurts, itching everywhere, you get dizzy etc. THESE aspects ruins your workout. DONT Take CAFFEINE as a supplement...

[Chuggalugg]

@AsumDude94 caffeine does not make you itch. I think you're mistaking it for beta alanine. dizziness does not come with caffeine, it's more likely a flaw in your eating and drinking. If you take caffeine and your diet sucks, you were probably going to be dizzy anyway. Don't spread flawed information.

[ThouShaltNotComment]

is that in the philippines

[blizzardxc1]

looks like a transvestite

[ChrisHarrisonKiwi]

Put a shirt on you douche.

[bigb59100]

@ChrisHarrisonKiwi shut up fag

[Atif777]

whats up with the hat??

[joelc29]

I've read that caffeine produces cortisol spikes in the bloodstream that inhibit muscle growth. Is there any truth to this?

[WifeBeaterShirt1]

Would it be good to take a caffeine supplement about an hour prior to my race?

[Ares8ful]

It is healthier to avoid caffeine man. Its all mental man try to meditate and drink enough of water before you go to workout inspire yourself man

I can't take Caffeine, it causes me to have palpatations and makes me agitated, so no Coffee, Tea or Chocolates for me. For me just doing cardio gives me an upper, and in the gym i just stick my Hardstyle on, and i'm like a Grizzly on coke.

[southport97]

1 red bull before workout!! 

[CrazyAngelDude]

@southport97 No Red Bull. 

[LutherPenndragon]

Instead of saying Alles Klar (everything clear) & Auf Wiedersehen (cya later), how about 'Versteht ihr mich?' (as in 'do you understand me' and a lyric from the Rammstein song 'Ich Will') & Tschüs! (informal goodbye). ★ ☆ ★

[MagicCryo]

scooby...are you advocating using performance enhancing supplements to gain an edge in competition?

[MsNormAli]

Useful video thanks. It looks like you have been transported back into some 80's VHS editing system.

[frunkus1981]

I read that coffee boosts cortisol. What's your take?

[mysteryperson1976]

The issue I have is that I'm a singer, and caffeine is bad for the voice.

[mrwinner5]

i started taking 200 mg 1 hour before and 100mg more 40 minutes before workout.

the effect isnt THAT strong for me, but at least i dont yawn while the workouts

[iLiveonBespin]

Maybe if you all just stopped undereating your carbs you would have enough glycogen to actually do a hard workout without stimulants. There is no reason to go to coffee. Get enough sleep, eat enough calories.

[Woofspl]

[SuperPreshInc3nt]

sooo your'e saying i could take a glass of soda an hour before my workout and that will be good ?

[climz1989]

[matkasim]

[TheCuteakshara]

You sir earned my respect. Awesome body and awesome channel!

[brana1646]

scooby have you heard of myfitnesspal? I have it for my iphone and its very helpful!

[himanshutheguru]

[InvinciblePvP]

[tehBLAX]

The king of hats.

[bloodycrossroads]

Just a question. I play basketball so before a game should i take some caffene?

[Saki630]

This video makes you look as if you invested money into high quality CGI to give your body a glossy, even toned, and wrinkle free appearance --- even when out in your back yard :D . Nice to see the youtube money keeping you young and smart about protecting the integrity of your consumer image!

[CrannBethadh]

This is nonsense. Caffeine is and always has been a poison, ever since natural selection developed it in plants to kill or poison animals to prevent them from eating them. It even poisons the very plants that develop it, but the plants develop it anyway because it is less risky than being eaten. The best dose is and always has been 0.

[mcoltura44]

Why does he always wear that stupid fucking hat?

[SealDude]

@mcoltura44 All his power comes from hats :P Plus it looks snappy on him

[Brickkks]

Can it cause acne??

[lap189]

you should cover those things up before u poke someone's eye out or stab them thru the heart or somthing.... siriusly those look dangerous

[TheCooldudeRM]

look at his nipples!!!

[cirusMEDIA]

lol.. guess what he looked like before the gym!!!!

[630TheWhiteBoy630]

do we drink caffeine right before or liek 1 or 2 hours before the workout?

[H3rvIk]

@630TheWhiteBoy630 Scooby says 60 mins before workouts

[630TheWhiteBoy630]

do we take it before our work out or like 1 or 2 hours etc?

[CannaMD2012]

fuck dat...starbucks is good bootch boy

[WongsWorkout]

Hello Comrade! I am new to youtube and I believe Scooby is the best there is! Please visit my channel and you can subscribe to a NEW upcoming workout channel! You can watch me and scooby! Just youtube "Wong's Workout"! Cya there comrade!

[TheDonnBot]

so are steroids big boy

[FreaxUnleashed]

@TheDonnBot Ever see what happened to Stewie on Family Guy? When he took steroids...

[FreaxUnleashed]

Oh and hey, great video dude. xD

[FreaxUnleashed]

*Napoleon Dynamite* GOSH! It was one simple comment I didn't mean to get everyone going... D;

[Teenssj2]

just got myself a nice bottle of coffeine pills

[Jedd41]

i work at a coffee shop...i'm pretty sure the insane amounts of caffeine i drink in one day is definitely more than the recommended daily dose

[FreaxUnleashed]

@Jedd41 I love coffee. Screw what the recommened amounts are.

[Jedd41]

@FreaxUnleashed .... my thoughts exactly man. my tolerance is so high that i can pound back a cup of a dark roast then pass out 5 minutes later

[FreaxUnleashed]

@Jedd41 LOL Nice. I get like, all hyper and want more when the buzz is gone. ;o

[MikeAustralia1]

Please put a shirt on

[simsinghsimsingh6]

You Have Bitch Tits

(Just Sayin)

[BoneBeast]

@simsinghsimsingh6 how is that bitch tits? Do you know what even bitch tits are?

[cmessios]

Tried to do some research, i'm not completely sure but i think caffeine is kinda bad since it raises your cortisol levels. Cortisol is is the stress hormone that the body produces. it makes you fatter by increasing you sweet apetite and makes you accumulate fat easier. It also makes the body use up the protein and fat you intake to make glucose sinc you are under stress. I believe it also increases blood pressure and a whole lot other bad stuff. But with enough sleep and omega 3 maybe it's ok?

[FuckTheLawNiggas]

3 shot espresso will blow ur fucking head off

[FreaxUnleashed]

@FuckTheLawNiggas Nice to know.

[FuckTheLawNiggas]

@FreaxUnleashed how do you mean in a good way or jack ass way?

[FreaxUnleashed]

@FuckTheLawNiggas Was I talking to you?

[FreaxUnleashed]

@FuckTheLawNiggas Oh and I mean in a good way. Why would I be a jackass? :P

[ImSofaKingGood]

REALLY? I avoided coffee and caffeine altogether for years because I thought it was healthier to do so. DAMMIT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO FEEL DAT RUSH!!! CAFFEINE HERE I COME BABY!!!

[suckerproof516]

@ImSofaKingGood dont over drink it to much

[weepaul666]

@ImSofaKingGood only too much of it is unhealthy, much like anything else that is over used

[everthinghardcore]

your 100% right i take it first thing before my work out

[Commonsenselife1]

Really not trying to be mean at all Scooby, great video....but I myself would prefer you to use the term hypothesis instead of theory. A theory is widely regarded by many people to be true with research supporting it, while a hypothesis is an educated guess.

Really just want to give some constructive criticism so you can make your videos better, not trying to be a douchebag at all. :)

[FreaxUnleashed]

@Commonsenselife1 Well not to be mean either but I guess we can say the same about the "Professional Scientists". Because all they do is come up with theories and most of them are not proven. Sorry, but I believe that in the beginning (cave man time lol) someone made up this stuff like math, languages, etc. and as the years passed, we all started to believe in this stuff. It's just what I think. And I have no idea how this relates to the video... lol. Good day sir. xD

[Commonsenselife1]

@FreaxUnleashed Yea what I said doesn't really affect his caffeine video except for the wrong use of terminology. I believe in the cave man times as well lol. I can't speak for professional scientists, but I can speak for the definition of the two words. I knew when I posted this comment someone would reply to it and make me feel stupid or childish for pointing out some very small mistake, but I couldn't help myself since my biology teacher constantly told my class about how.....

[Commonsenselife1]

@Commonsenselife1 he hated when someone used the word theory when it was just an hypothesis. This time around I didn't want to be mean either xD I just wanted you to understand why I posted the comment is all. Just saiyan xD

[FreaxUnleashed]

@Commonsenselife1 You reply to yourself? lol

[Commonsenselife1]

@FreaxUnleashed Oh, yea I did because my characters remaining was at 0 and did that to continue the message I was trying to type up. Probably would have been better if I did a message reply to you again so you would know I was still talking to you about something my bad lol.

[FreaxUnleashed]

@Commonsenselife1 Yeah, you should have. Cuz now I'm lost. ;o

[FreaxUnleashed]

@Commonsenselife1 Well I didn't reply to your comment to make you feel stupid or childish. I just wanted to bring up the cave men. :P lol

[triggersprollie]

ive heard caffeine somewhat decreases the effects of creatine,should i take them at the same time?

[RubberNuke]

within what timeline should we workout after consuming caffine?

[josedewish2011]

so coffee is actually beneficial?

[RubberNuke]

@josedewish2011 were you not watching the video? yes its beneficial but not as beneficial as caffine pills

[FreaxUnleashed]

@RubberNuke I'm sure he's just trying to be reassured. Obviously. lol

[RubberNuke]

@FreaxUnleashed then he should have watched it again.

[FreaxUnleashed]

@RubberNuke Maybe he wanted to ask the guy himself. Just to be clear. Durh.

[ssgokuliu]

is there a formula to how much a person should take

[MrSert187]

dude looks like freddy krueger!

[LarryLynx]

Scooby: the bodybuilding rice farmer! Awesome! :D

[raul4pk]

is the background a screen ?

[CaptainPancaakes]

Staff Sergeant Scooby!

[mike7552]

I'm 155 pound male and I actually found that only half a 200 mg caffeine pill prior to my workout provided enough of a jolt.

[djBC10000]

caffeine has so many disadvantages for ur heart, it's not healthy to take caffeine everyday.

[drebo699]

where are you !!!!!!!

[lightspeed81]

Very interesting video Scooby!! All this time I've been avoiding caffeine as i read that it causes an increase in SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) which binds to free testosterone making it unusable to the body! But I bow to your greater knowledge & will consider using it as a supplement to give me the push to workout harder in the gym! Quite possibly the harder workout from the caffeine stimulation would negate the effects of the lowered testosterone!! Thats if raised SHBG is even true!

[25HarmanB]

The reason we know he's not bullshitting us is because

1) he's giving us all this information for free

2) He's trying to sell anything

3) He's just Scooby LOL

[25HarmanB]

@25HarmanB I meant hes not trying to sell anything really sorry lol

[FLStudioBBuild3r]

@25HarmanB NOT FOR FREE! he will be making revenue from his vids, majority of these guy's do, DON'T BE FOOLED!

Although 90% of what he says I very much agree on...

[WhippinChainzGaming]

ALLES KLAR ? AUF WIEDERSEHN -----> All clear? Goodbye. Dude I never knew scooby is German!

[avatarluvr88]

nice hat dude

[matesma13]

mother nature.caffeine work out..i try man..

[dilauroj94]

I'm dead serious. The ad in the corner of this video says "Body building supplements for geniuses. Get ripped and smart."

[simobgbgbg]

I dont feel shit from caffeine!

[diguimrp]

scooby, Vietnam background is amazing, remember my time in nam when i was kicking some vietcong butt, while i was taking my anabol pils back in base doing my benchs with 400pouns of rice bags....

[tttwb]

Not hating at all, but don'd mislead people thinking you can get that big naturally, your on test

[ajbones22]

@tttwb - Ur a fukn idiot... Do some research on steroids users. Scooby's not on steroids u MORON... Get ur facts straight before you hop on-line talking shit!

[IronCobra2007]

I think I know the location of that background; somewhere in NORTH MALAYSIA close to border of THAILAND. Ha.. ha

[DJVarmian]

Scooby you don't have many veins going out of your body :)

I always thought veins went out because of steroids.

[SniipezUk]

My best supplement is food bro.

[MayDayDevinci]

I start off every day with a home brewed cup of black Colombian coffee.

Thumbs up for coffee!

[XxUnknownkillax]

Here he goes again with the science BS

[Hotives]

@XxUnknownkillax Lol it's the closest thing to the truth....

[XxUnknownkillax]

@Hotives Jimmay motherfckin Struthers

[HarryPlayer]

After years of drinking sodas I had to get off of caffeine in 2010. It wasn't a medical thing. It was a choice I made. It was wrecking me. I had developed a dependence for it and it was severely screwing with my sleep after all these years. I tried to go cold turkey for five days in 2010 and had the most horrible headache I've ever experienced. It hurt so bad I vomited three times in one day. Finally got off of it and have been drinking decaff sodas since 2010.

[Hotives]

@HarryPlayer Good for you man!

[1AceGuy]

Scooby, I am trying taking one 200 mg caffeine pill one hour before my workout. Anecdotally, it does seem like I have more energy to do the workouts, which is good. However, I have heard that caffeine (or coffee) is not the best for dieting because you get the caffeine rush but then there's the caffeine crash (I think from low blood sugar) which makes you hungrier, so the theory is that caffeine (or coffee) does not help in dieting. Your thoughts, Scooby?

[1AceGuy]

@1AceGuy Anecdotally, so far, with the caffeine and working out, I haven't lost any weight yet. My weight is staying the same, not losing, not gaining, but just staying the same.

[michaelsine]

what you doin in vietnam scooby?

[snipermonkey001]

like the hat

[jofus3456]

this dude is yolked the out of his fucking mind

[OllieLango]

You realise your background is a rice farm field? Just sayin.

[BudakHingusan1]

guess how many times my daddy says "caffeine"? ;D

[BudakHingusan1]

you're my father!

[p0p0sex]

great channel! i love that you give references!

[MrAnthonyBaxter]

YOU ARE ASKING FOR A PURPLE NURPLE

[ednarito]

What's up with this guys body...? Am I the only one to find it scary lol

[whiyteboy]

Thanks Scooby, just ordered some caff pills £2.74, they were on sale :)

[95uptheirons]

Nice hat!!

[MCJohnSnuggles]

[1fatbastard]

RedBull baby!

[NoypiBalut]

@deathmetaliscool Yea he did...

[Urukka]

why is this guys neck so thin ? its terrifying

[maex360]

Guys. Go to the forums and ask him there. I don't think Scooby is going to read all the comments on all his past videos. This is not possible!

[anonyman54321]

Hey, where can I buy your hats? Do you have your own line? They're awesome.

[shwamaal]

jack 3d baby....

[bsifl35]

Love your videos. I noticed on this one, the editor added some sort of filter to make the film have a cartoonish/animated look. It's interesting, but I prefer the "regular" look of your other videos. Keep up the good work.

[slo1nemanic]

hi i have one question when working out the best in the morning or afternoon.

i wake up this morning at 08, 00 and begin at 09, 30 for one hour, before the concept of a single piece of bread with chocolate namazom.what you think

[swargler]

Damn straight caffeine is all the stim you need. Got to laugh at the monkeys paying out for "energy drinks" and whatever energy. Love your vids Scoob. You are the real thing.

[NoypiBalut]

Hey Scooby,

My Trainer said I need to gain for weight since i only have 4% Body Fat. He told me to eat McDonald everyday to increase my weight. But I don't find that to be a smart idea since McD is high in calories but low in Nutrients.

Can you suggest a good meal i can make at home with high calories and nutrients to gain weight?

[deathmetaliscool]

@NoypiBalut Are you serious? He told you that? lol

[FranksFitnessChannel]

WOW SCOOBY! YOU MUST BE ON VACATION, CHECK OUT THAT BACKGROUND

[UKisland82]

Hey Scooby just wanted to say I love your videos and website! They are helping me out a lot. Thanks for making all your videos straight forward and honest.

[052897AB]

Hi Scooby, I have a very important question to ask you. What does it mean when your chest hurts after you have worked out? Like in the morning? I worked on my chest and then the next morning when i woke up, my chest hurt. Is that an bad thing or a good thing? That had been happening to me for the past week. everytime I wake up and my chest hurts, I don't lift on that day and i wait till my chest doesn't hurt again, then i work out but then the next morning again, its hurts! what do i do? thanks!

[Tonythefunnyasian]

@052897AB

Dude, that's called being sore. As long as you aren't feeling pain while doing the exercise (your body will tell you if it's the bad kind of pain), that's normal. Your body will get used to the soreness though. My chest rarely gets sore now, unless i add in new workouts.

[ColonelSalt]

Hi Scooby, I've been an avid runner for the last year or so, and I think it's great fun. However, ever since I started running, I've been getting increasing cramps in my calf and thighs. Could you perhaps make a video about potential stretches to avoid getting these cramps? Thanks so much.

[XXXStraightEdgerXXX]

Are you straight Scooby?

[paniaguasanto]

Coffe gives you bad breath.

[58jtaylor]

y does this asshole always wear hats? man, what an asshole

[waddellski]

[Itowle9]

[mehdigoudarzi]

hey Scooby! great channel man, i hope you can do the live workout more often, since i think there's Always things to learn by first hand observing.

cheers

Mehdi,

[nw5111]

Why are the comments disabled on all your older videos but not the new ones? I have stuff to say that's productive.

[Asamighost]

Scooby i just saw a video of Shortcut 6pack abs, the add is all over youtube.

I would really like to know what do you think of it? Seemed too perfect for me.

Thanks.

[Lipniukas]

@Asamighost Go to scooby's workshop website. You should see the section "Hall of shame" :)

[Asamighost]

@Lipniukas I found it, thanks alot. It's a great thing that Scooby is trying to protect us from scammers!
