Caffeine actually slows down protein synthesis, when proteins
are consumed they don't go over to the muscles instantly. Instead,
they are broken down into amino acids which are then transported
over to the areas where myoblasts in the muscles are. From there
onwards, these amino acids are reconstituited into muscle
tissue.
Drinking coffee before a workout may give you that extra
alertness but sugar high is better when compared to that since
caffeine basically slows down the repairing state, then again
...muscles only grow when people are asleep so ...I'm not sure how
this will affect the whole situation.
Whether or not to drink, ah ...ownself decide la. *headache*
