Eric's post in another recent thread triggered my curiosity because he claims that the effect of caffeine can be manipulated by an expert to an advantage at freediving. I do not know what exactly Eric means, so before asking, I am looking through old threads and found this one.so, why does everyone say that freediving and coffee dont mix? I understand the dehydration part, and that it may raise your heart rate, but is there somthing else?
I used to drink coffee every morning first thing but I quit. It was hard because I learned to love the taste and living in Hawaii, man there's some great coffee here like organic locally grown stuff on Maui and from the Big Island (famous Kona coffee).
I've found that I love the fact that I don't feel like a slave to the Java god each morning and I am longer so jumpy and nervous. Instead of being on the roller coaster, I'm gliding along pretty steady all day.
Also, I used to drink coffee when I felt tired or "down" and have since realized that if I'm tired, you know what, I should sleep!That'll actually solve the problem and not give me a fake boost.
I just don't like being addicted to anything as I'm borderline obsessive/compulsive and I'm easily addicted to things I "enjoy." Also, I know quitting coffee hasn't HURT my freediving abilities...
