Havent looked into that, but all stimulants negatively affect cortisol levels so use sparingly. I know coffee (even black without sugar crap/cream) can bounce around insulin levels and caffeine always a little hard on the stomach. But the caffeine could be a nice boost, I wouldnt drink on regular basis tho. Plus if you are constantly "out of it" before workout something bad wrong: sleep, diet, overtraining..
