6-7 liters of cola per day?!?!

I just read that. The study was done using sugar sodas though, and I don't know any bodybuilders that consume anything other than diet. However, they did say that caffeine was the major culprit and bodybuilding and caffeine go hand in hand. Makes me want to start using a non-stimulant based preworkout supplement.

Ya, I used green tea along with a non-stimulant supp. It does have some natural caffeine, but I feel like it gives me just enough energy and focus for a good workout, plus it has some great health benefits. I usually do 2 tea bags, or you can just buy the extract pills from costco or something. Costco also has good green tea bags, a matche blend which gives a little more energy, check it out.

I think green tea would be a good option that way I won't have the withdrawals of caffeine,good idea.

Soda of any kind is the absolute worst.
Apologies to any Soda drinker, but this stuff will slowly eat you alive. Soda should have warning labels like Cigarettes and Alcohol.
