Are there any legal, safe pills you can get that contain caffeine and other drugs that will increase your physical performance if you work physical labor? 3+ energy drinks a day can get expensive, and don't help out much. I've heard hydroxycut will give you those effects by slightly raising your heart rate which will give you more oxygen etc.
I'm not looking for speeches from guys who sit at desks at work all day working on laser jet printers telling me drugs are bad, just some recommendations from guys who know of any. |

Beer. Showed up to work a few times with your method and it didn't work out too well |

You'll blow your heart out using the Hydroxycut crap. I know two people that had to be hospitalized because of it. Honestly, you'll want to be sober, that way you know what your body can handle and what you need to improve on. Being juiced up won't allow you to gauge what is underperformance, normal, then unsafe. http://../../../../images/smilies/smiley_thinking.gif Numbing yourself won't make you a better worker, you'll just kill yourself. Fuck you if that's not the answer you want, it's the answer you need. I don't do labor so hardcore that my heart is beating 200 bpm, I just work in the heat all day doing moderate labor, more need a boost than anything. I usually have about 400mg of caffeine a day, but your body gets used to it and it doesn't do a whole lot of good after that |

Ephedrine Creatine Gatorade Exedrine I thought ephedrine and psuedophedrine were controlled? |

I use Jack3d when I'm going to the gym and running low on energy. Works well and doesn't keep you up all night. You can get it at GNC for about $30. It's better to go without but it helps when your ass is dragging and you need a pick me up.

Drink your ovaltine.
Seriously though, exercise, eat a healthy diet, get sufficient sleep, and take your vitamins. |

how old are you? I'm 47 my work place is 90+ year around averages 90 % humidity.it's been tested. Work an average of 10 hours a day
Never needed an artificial boost to get me through the day. i just make damn sure I keep myself hydrated.

Modafinil. Safe? Not sure. Expensive? Yes.

Caffeien is not that good for you in large amounts during exercise... vasoconstricts

A cup of coffee is 200mg of caffeine, 2 cups of coffee is fine for you. Bulk caffeine powder for say 1 lb is a few dollars, a tablespoon could kill you. So logically we concluded just now caffeine will kill you. |

Don't go after those artificial energy boosters.
Your best bet is healthy food and a good night's sleep. |

Products are legal for NCAA competition. http://www.advocare.com/ Look in the background during NFL interviews. There are stacks of the stuff in the lockers. I drink their Spark energy drink. That works well if you drink a little and start exerting yourself, then sip the rest of the bottle. If you buy it by the tub, its cheaper than Monster by the can. |

Bronkaid
+ Caffeine = I wouldn't take it unless you could afford to lose some weight. |
|
Have a Snickers. .. Really, you just need to stay hydrated, keep your electrolytes up, a little caffeine, and eat complex carbohydrates the night before. |
|
If your diet and sleep are on point and you're adequately hydrated try some Bronkaid. I'm about to take my morning dose now with some caffeine. Just start real low and work up if you need.

as with most things your personal genitics will determin your success in many things.
some can do it on water healthy diet and sleep. others need a boost but with that boost will come health risks. whether or not you experience those health risks into health problems will depend on your genitics. we have all heard of the guy who eats once a day and smokes 2 packs a day and lives to be 90 and we have also heard of the person who eats well, has low stress and dies from cancer at 30. it's in the genes. if you need a boost, you have to weigh the risk vs benefit and live (or die) with the outcome. |

Check out "deer antler velvet"
I've never tried it but i do know that at the last olympics There were a few countries that had their athletes using it. |
|
I don't think stimulants are really going to help you much.
Try creatine and arginine, about 5 grams of each. Won't hurt for sure and it's cheap from cheap supplements. Arginine is the primary ingredient in most of the workout drinks, you could find one you like and go with that but it's spendier that way. |
|
This bronkaid sounds like it might be the way to go.
For those of you who say I don't need it, you're probably right. But it's a lot more enjoyable to work when you feel like you just got done banging seven gram rocks. Just how I feel about it. |

Quoted:
Swedish snus extra sterk This is what I use at work. Coffee/caffeine only works as a performance enhancer if you are not an everyday user. Works for people who do a race once a week, or periodically. If you have a tolerance it won't do anything. |

Bronkaid + Caffeine = I wouldn't take it unless you could afford to lose some weight. is that supposed to help your appetite or what? |

I am not sensitive to caffeine but the combo does give me the jitters some if I take 2 Brokaids during a day. |

I have been using OxyElite Pro, I love this stuff, my Wife started taking it also and she loves it too

Step 1. Go to doctor
Step 2. Tell them your problem, make sure to include the lack of concentration/motivation Step 3. Accept the prescription of Adderall he gives you There ya go, you now have sometihng that will not only give you energy for work but it will also make work fun! Seriously though, Adderall helps me alot when it comes to school/work. Most people are going to tell you something along the lines of "Adderall is for junkies and it will kill you", but they are ignorant as all hell. |
