How to know the right dosing of caffeine before your heavy deadlift session.
Caffeine often takes 30-60mins to take effect, so the ideal consumption for your sessions is to take 1hrs pre training. This allows it to be peaking when you start and progress into your heavier sets, not kicking towards the end of your session when you getting ready to head home.
How to dose it:
1 mg/kg BW – basic wake up call.
2 mg/kg BW – sharper focus and alertness.
3–6 mg/kg BW – where the real performance benefits kick in, ideal before a heavy session.
For example, a 100kg lifter could see benefits with 300–600mg. I always encourage starting at the lower end first don’t slam max doses every single session. Save the higher end for when you really need to grind through a tough pull.
Pre-workout blends:
Many lifters go straight for pre-workout drinks before deadlifts. Just keep in mind these often mix caffeine with other ingredients. Always check the label so you know how much you’re actually taking.
Alongside caffeine, other ingredients that can support your heavy sessions in prep include beta-alanine, citrulline malate, taurine, magnesium, and creatine.

All or nothing.
Is your all truly your all?
Is your nothing, really nothing?
A lot of people’s perceptions of doing absolutely nothing is still better than literally doing nothing.
They are still eating protein sparingly across meals, getting in a dense amount of fruits and vegetables but are perhaps missing the variety of nutrients they used to expose themselves too.
I’ve had clients talk to me about doing ‘nothing’ and falling into a binge eating episode…. Where they ate a punnet of strawberries and some chocolate chips in their yogurt!!! Their perception of what happened is far worse than the reality of the consequences.
Setting realistic expectations of yourself and looking logically at your actions is a skill learnt best over time and from our mistakes.
I guess what I’m saying is:
Someone else’s ALL could be someone else’s NOTHING.
Set small daily non-negotiables and little commitments over the week or day to help you build momentum and progression towards whatever your goals may be… even if this is just maintenance.
Our powerlifting nutrition course has had an update where building a resilient mindset has come in to the additional learning materials we have created. Early bird is ending in 48hrs!
