	2006/05/08, 06:40 PM redbull can give u a good endurance boost...tho it's cheaper to just buy caffeine pills...price is like...100 pills =2-3 bottles of redbulls... I like to just take caffeine 200-400mg +81-150mg aspirin before maxes lifting or long sessions of cardio.... Those energy drinks are a waste of money IMO.... Also gatorade and water during a short workout are about the same.....aim for about a gallon....or at least 1/2....
