Red Bull? No?
Hmmm. Not a bad suggestion as my dr actually said more caffeine. I prefer lo-carb Monster myself
I like the Monster 0 carb myself. Try practicing for 10 minutes or so with your mind intentionally unengaged. Your mind/body/bass connection will get stronger. Your practice will become more meditative and less cerebral.
