pregame stimulant?

[ben1113]

Hey guys,
Now im bored, so i havent really thought much about this, but for a faceoff guy would it be smart to have something like caffeine or guarana or a stimulant drug (im not talkin about expensive GNC stuff or drugs that have bad side effects like cocaine or whatever) because would it help your reflexes? I dont know much about stimulants but i thought they sped up your nervous system, which im thinking maybe would help gettin the jump off the whistle. I heard that caffeine makes you cramp, but some games i just do faceoffs because i do them for both JV and varsity, so i only sprint off the field and play some d mid defense off the face....

So would this not really help? would it maybe help a little? or is this realllllly stupid.....

i think it does..before every game i drink a full throttle fury energy drink. it gets me going and i dont crash during or after the game at all. i try to drink it 30-45 mins before the face off. works pretty well for me. dont drink just the energy drink tho get lots of water in your body as well.

Getting recruited as a faceoff specialist and have never needed it.

Yeah before games i always drink water and also some gatorade, but we were in health today and we were talkin about how some people take certain stimulants when they have disorders that slow down there nervous system, so i was thinking hey maybe if you take someone with a normal one, and speed it up a little you'd get one hell of a FOGO. But then again, maybe it has side effects....

I have yet to try this but like 5 of the guys on my team do & claim it works wonders (they are always very energetic & unable to control from running around before games too so I think it really does work) but they get one of those Snickers power bar things & a Sobe before every game & supposedly it gets them pumped & ready beyond belief...I'll probably try it before a practice sometime this week

I like a Red Bull or Flying Horse (similar, but tastes better).

Pfffft, energy drinks.

I drink the best... Water.
