Early workouts and caffeine/cortisol/adenosine levels

[Bumby]

My ideal scenario is to take a pre-workout for an early training session first thing in the morning. There is a claim that we should avoid caffeine for 1-2 hours after waking to avoid the buildup of adenosine in our system, hoping to stave off a bigger energy crash later in the day. Is this something we should be concerned with and possibly mitigate by either training later in the day or not taking caffeine before an early workout?

This is entirely made up by Huberman, which is something he does often.

I would not follow this advice and would not spend time listening to him.

I was trying to avoid using his name, but yep, you called it I know it's got to be frustrating to constantly battle the same sources of bad information but thanks for the insight.

It can be, for sure. We'll just keep plugging away
