Optimize Bartending Energy – Are Coffee and Energy Drinks The Answer?
Coffee, energy drinks, fat burners, and 5 hour energy are the favourites of the bartenders in my nightclub. When I get to work each night, most of the other guys have a massive Starbucks coffee in their hand. One guy in particular at this point will be washing down some xenadrine EFX (potent fat burner packed with caffeine) with his massive cup of coffee. When the night gets started, this guy is a mess… his movements are sloppy, very quick and energy charged mind you – but he’s knocking over bottles and bartending in a very choppy inefficient style. Without any caffeine at all, some of us might be yawning and not show the intensity necessary to be a nightlong entertainer. I’m definitely not saying to stay away from the stuff completely.
I find with myself, if I drink coffee directly before my shift, it takes about an hour for the caffeine rush to wear down enough to the point where I can move in a smooth manner, and make all of my movements more efficient and fluid. I’ve adopted a new strategy:
1. I enjoy my favourite caffeinated beverage 2- 3 hours before I start work( massive matcha green tea latte, with 2 shots of espresso added to it, no sugar necessary as it will cause an early crash)
2. Have a brief workout of about 30-45 minutes in duration
The combination of these two energy releasing activities puts me in an endorphin enhanced state of mind. I’ve got tons of energy but am not jittery, and am in an extremely good mood. The other thing the workout does is keep me confident – considering I’ll no doubt be tearing my shirt off about a dozen times throughout the night!
