That you gotta ask 4Rings. I'm not an expert on nutrition. I know Jay Cutler drinks Coke postworkout but i wouldn't exactly follow that.
I hate carbonated drnks anyway. Never took them for more than 15 years.
I was with a friend, a retired competitive bodybuilder 2 weeks ago. We were discussing about the health condition between moderate sportsmen and hardcore sportsmen. Moderate sportsmen tend to train in moderation to avoid injury and to gain certain level of physical fitness. They eat in moderation to achieve low body fat level and lead a healthy living lifestyle.
On the other hand, the hardcores would go all out to abuse their body to a degree that they would suffer from all kinds of injury.
They disregard their health by taking cocktail of performance enhancing drugs for the sake of winning.
From what we see, most bodybuilders don't eat a healthy diet. During off season, they would eat to fatten up which they called bulking. Bodybuilders are one of the species that over eat. Over eating is actually abusing our body. Sad to say that but it is true. When came to contest, their diet changed drastically to achieve a very low body fat level. This constant change of dieting would cause more stress to the body as the body is trying to adapt to the sudden change. It is affecting us psychologically too.
My friend is now suffering from injuries. Not only him, most of my ex. competitive bb friends are also suffering from chronic injuries.
BTW I am planning to go low carb next month. My body will be experiencing stress soon.

IINM, Jack Lalane looks quite elastic now? Sorry if I ofended anyone though, was just wondering.
He is in his 90's. The elastic one should be Mr. Fantastic of FF not Jack.
