Caffeine & aspirin "stack"...Bayer Quick Release?

[Free4Life11]

From listening to Jillian Michaels podcast, I've heard her mention a few times a "caffeine & aspirin" stack. You take these supplements 30 minutes to an hour before cardio and I can help you burn more calories or something.

Does anyone know about this?

I have some Bayer Quick Release crystals which are 850 mg aspirin and 65 mg caffeine per packet and I was thinking this may be a convenient way to do one of these "stacks" occasionally.

What's up with Jillian? She comes off as a hard nosed drill sargeant-work-it-off, don't-be-lazy fitness instructor and now not only is she hawking diet pills, but a pre work out treatment to burn more calories? I am not so impressed with her anymore, I would think that someone so pro fitness would be against medicating to lose.

Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Several of the body building "pump" type products have caffeine in them.

Lots of the "diet" pills have caffiene as well.

It is very common in the fitness industry.

I just haven't heard it combined with aspirin.

Traditionally it was a caffeine-aspirine-ephedra stack, but since epehdra has been banned, the "stack" has lost popularity. Can't really find much info on it though...

From listening to Jillian's podcast, she's not against supplements and admits they CAN aid you, but they are designed for people who have already lost the weight and are trying to lose the last 10-15 pounds and get "shredded."

That being said, I don't feel that this is made clear on her branded line of supplements and she has ALWAYS been against the "cleanse" stuff, so I do find her "cleanse" supplement to be quite hypocritical!

Caffeine is a diuretic - no one should take caffeine before exercising! And since it's also a stimulant, it could give you an irregular heartbeat that a strenous workout could turn into something worse... Of course, the aspirin is a blood thinner, so that would help out if you had a heart attack or stroke...
